    Looking to taking out my pride and joy little girl fishing and would like so imput on what life preserver to purchase.
    She is 3 years old & quite a Daddy’s girl, able to identify 6 species of game fish. Guess she’s been putting in some IDA time with Dad. I haven’t seen anything that fits her well enough for me to feel comfortable taking her aboard the boat. Any good ones that you guys or gals have used in the past. Thanks for responses.

    at 3 yrs old you might still want one that has the strap going down the center, just to keep it down if there is a need for use. it will keep it from sliding up and wiggling out in an emergency. wal mart usually has a good selection of uscg approved jackets for toddlers….they outgrow them superfast

    There are some nice ones out there. We made sure that our kids had a strap that goes through their legs. This helps keep the vest down on them when they are in the water. Also, there are some that are designed to keep your kids on there back. Our kids thought this was great while swimming, as they could lay back with a built in pillow. We also had our children swim with them in a pool before we went out in the boat. This helps them get used to it.
