Kids Life Jackets & Buoyancy Aids

A proper kids life jacket is the one thing you never compromise on when the little ones are anywhere near the water. Whether they’re standing on the front of your SUP, learning to paddle their own mini kayak, or just splashing around the shore, these vests keep them safe without turning them into stiff little robots.

All our children’s life jackets and buoyancy aids are CE-approved to ISO 12402 (50N or 100N) and built slim and soft so kids actually forget they’re wearing one.

Why parents keep buying the same vests again

• Fit that grows: Adjustable shoulder and side straps plus a crotch strap on smaller sizes keep the vest in place even during upside-down splashes.
• Comfort first: Soft neoprene or quick-dry nylon, padded collars that don’t rub, and flexible panels that allow free arm movement for paddling and swimming.
• Safety features that work: Many models are self-righting, flip a child face-up automatically, and include a big grab handle, reflective patches and a whistle.
• High visibility: Bright colours like orange, pink and lime make spotting kids across a lake quick and easy.

Which vest for which age & weight

• Babies & toddlers (8–15 kg) — full 100N with head support and crotch harness; ideal for first boat rides and SUP balance lessons.
• Preschool to primary age (15–30 kg) — 50–100N options, slim enough to let kids paddle their own small kayaks without restriction.
• Bigger kids (30–40+ kg) — lighter 50N buoyancy aids for strong swimmers who still need reliable flotation on rivers or open water.

All sizes are in stock year-round, from infant vests up to youth models that fit most 12-year-olds. Parents tell us the same thing: kids put these on without complaining, wear them all day, and the vests still look and perform well after a season of sand, sun and salt.

Grab the kids life jacket that fits the age and the kind of days your little crew actually has on the water. They’ll stay safe, you’ll stay calm, and everyone gets to play longer.
