For kids who don’t wear armbands, our zip up buoyancy jackets and suits work as buoyancy aids, giving them confidence in the water.
It is important to use buoyancy aids safely, store them appropriately and maintain them properly. This will ensure the quality of the buoyancy aid you choose to use for your child and your little one’s safety.
Important Information
• These aids should not be used as a life jacket or a life saving device.
• Always use under adult supervision
• These products comply to EN13138-1.
• These products are not recommended for children under the age of 12 months.
• Never leave your child unattended in or near water and always keep within arm’s reach.
Buoyancy Jacket Size Guide
We recommend the following sizing for our buoyancy jackets
• Ensure your child is wearing the right size jacket for their weight.
• Age range is a guide only.
• Chest measurements are of the inside of the jacket with all floats inserted.
• The correlation between the age, chest size and the weight of your child can vary considerably.
• Weight should be used as the primary indicator for the correct size jacket, followed by chest size.
Before Use
• Always check floats and jacket for wear and tear and replace at any sign of damage.
• The jacket should fit securely and snug to your child’s body with any zips fully fastened.
After Use
• Always rinse well in clean cold water immediately after use.
• Ensure product is completely dry before storing to reduce the chance of mould.
• Sunlight and pool chemicals will eventually lead to colour fading.
Sun Protection Buoyancy Suits
Our selection of Sun Protection Buoyancy Suits uses UPF 50+ fabric, which offers protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
This suit has 8 floats which should provide the correct amount of buoyancy for your child. If the wearer is too light for the floats and they are providing too much buoyancy, the wearer may be too high in the water and tip forward or backwards.
Please use our kids’ size guide for selecting a sun protection suit for your child.
