Can this be used as a life jacket for a 2 year old on a boat?

This jacket was used in conjunction with his swimming lesson. No as a life jacket. Thanks.

I don't know that I'd have a 2yr old wear this. I had my 4 and 6 year-olds wear these: the 6-yr-old was fine. I put it on my 4-yr-old's ankle because it was too big for his wrist. He played with it constantly and broke it within an hour or 2 - it was then just a straight coiled plastic-thing. I tied it to the back of his pants on his belt loop, where he forgot about it for a while. I'd be concerned a 2-yr-old would get it on his mouth, or play with it a lot and put hands in mouth - BAD idea.

I think so. The padding is below the base and I cannot see any suffocation hazards. The child will have a ton of space, but they will grow into it. We use it with our almost 2 year old and started using it with her at 18 months old. I prefer over a pack and play. And it is so small its easy to take on trips!

Not a simple yes or no answer to this. It would depend on how good the child is in the water. If they have good natural buoyancy and are already able to kick their legs and move their arms, then this float may be ok. If you are relying on the float for complete buoyancy, then no. I have a 32 pound child and she still needs to work her arms and legs to keep the right way with this float on. Sorry I can't be more precise.

No. It is dangerous. The manufacturers of this product include many warnings about suffication when used improperly. Take a shower when baby is sleeping or playing in her crib. Always hold your baby in the water and always use an infant life vest when near or in the pool, boat, lake, ocean, etc. It is never safe to wear your baby in the water.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the answer to your question as I purchased this life jacket as a gift for my son-in-law. I can tell you that he uses it for kayaking/canoeing and he loves it because it doesn't get in the way when he is paddling.

Yes, I think it would work for her as we have used these type of life vests for our child since he was 2; however, you would need to confirm the size before ordering. We purchased the large, and it would be too large for your daughter.

We bought the medium for our 3-year old who is now 35lbs.Personally, I don't think this vest is suited for someone so young and just learning to get in the water. I would look more for something with inflatables to keep her head and chest above the water. This type of vest requires effort on their part to stay upright. Just my opinion...

I don't think so. I assume, by the time my 2 yr old reaches 4 we wouldn't be able to use this.

Not with any luck. It is a life jacket, it's purpose is to keep you afloat if you are not a good swimmer or if laws wherever you are boating or floating in my case mandate it.

I would think not, I use it for river rafting, but then I'm not in the water all the time. I think a thicker suit would be better for your described use. Of course that depends on where you are. On the Columbia River near Hood river, you might freeze?

Yes! I used it while out on a boat, everything works perfect. It is a very snug fit though, you have to feel around for the buttons on the side.

Not really as it's for babies up to 2 years (but if the baby is small in size, it could fit).

You definitely could! It's very sturdy. Though I didn't see any hooks or anything that you could attach to a watercraft. The plastic ones on there may not hold up to something with that much force.

Probably unless she is very petite or small for her age. Great for a 2 year old.

It did not fit well to loose for my granddaughter she was 11 months last year. I had one before for my niece the inner tube blew up with a air pump and it was all one piece looked like a little swim suit with a inner tube in it that worked well she floated all around the lake. This one the inner tube is to big around not a snug fit and the suit kept falling off her shoulders. It seems to be for an older child that can hold on to the tube and jump. Have not tried this year (lake is still froze ) she was only 16lbs last year weight could be a key factor. I did buy her a puddle jumper this year I know those work very well for kids who love the water and they are coast guard approved.

I do not think so. it was used in my case as an exhaust pipe covering for my emergency generator. I do think that this material would be advisable where it may be contacted by a small child.
