Kids' Life Jacket & Life Vest FAQs

What's the difference between a life jacket and a PFD?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a key distinction. A life jacket is designed to turn an unconscious person face-up in the water to keep their airway clear. A PFD provides buoyancy but may not have the same ability to roll a person onto their back. For children, Level 100 life jackets are the recommended standard for general boating as they provide the highest level of safety.

What level of kids' PFD type do you need?

For most situations, a Level 100 life jacket is the best choice for children. This is the minimum level recommended for general boating and open water, as it provides the buoyancy needed to turn a child onto their back. Level 50 PFDs are only suitable for sheltered, calm waters where help is close by. Always check the product's Australian Standards label to confirm its level.

How do you determine the correct size for a kid's life jacket?

Children's life jackets are sized by weight, not by age. To find the correct size, you must know your child's accurate weight. Match this weight to the manufacturer's specific size chart, which will be clearly displayed on the product. A life jacket that is too large or too small will not perform correctly in an emergency, making this the most critical step.

How tight should a kid's life jacket be?

A child's life jacket should be snug but comfortable. All straps should be fastened securely. To test the fit, lift the jacket by the shoulders - it should not ride up excessively towards the child's chin or ears. You should not be able to pull the jacket over their head once it is properly secured. Always check the fit over their actual clothing for that day.

How long do inflatable kids' life jackets last before servicing?

We do not recommend inflatable life jackets for young children. For older children and teenagers using them, inflatable PFDs require regular care to ensure they function correctly. Most manufacturers recommend a professional service at least every 12 months, regardless of use. The CO2 gas cylinder will need replacing after it has been deployed or if it shows signs of corrosion. Always check the specific manufacturer's guidelines.
