Life jackets are essential on the water, and for children it is very important to wear a lifejacket. A children's life jacket ensures a safe day on or around the water. There are different models and variants available that can protect your child if they hit the water. A child life jacket is available in an automatic or "fixed" version, such as a nylon or neoprene life jacket. Still unsure between a life jacket or life jacket for children? When the child has no swimming certificate yet, we recommend a life jacket anyway. A life jacket is less suitable when practicing water sports such as wakeboarding or water skiing.
Difference between a life jacket and child life jacket
Often life jackets and life jackets are confused with each other, both for children and adults. There is a big difference between a life jacket and a life jacket, namely the collar. This collar causes you to lie on your back in the water, keeping your head above water. For a child without a swimming certificate, we therefore recommend an automatic life jacket, life jackets ensure that your child remains afloat. Because a life jacket has no collar, the comfort of a life jacket is better, but you should keep in mind that a life jacket has less buoyancy, your child must be able to swim. In a life jacket you have less freedom of movement. A life jacket is therefore recommended while practicing water sports such as wakeboarding or water skiing. At that time, supervision is present and can quickly intervene in case of an accident.
Automatic or fixed-fill child life jacket?
A life jacket for children is available in two varieties: an automatic inflatable life jacket or a solid-fill life jacket. The advantage of an automatic inflatable lifejacket is its minimal appearance, which allows for more freedom of movement and comfort. Automatic life jackets explode by vaporizing a salt tablet contained in the vest when it comes in contact with water. So this can happen even when a child is playing near the water's edge. This is why we often recommend a solid-state life jacket for children. A situation where an automatic life jacket is very suitable is, for example, on a sailboat. However, it is definitely recommended to let a child experience the effect of an automatic life jacket.
