Hi single parent living on a narrowboat with a 9 year old we love it, she is always playing by the water but having big trouble getting her to wear a life jacket when outside, can't watch her all the time and really want her wearing one, but she just commplans that hers is too bulky and she doesn't want to wear it, any help would be appreciated???
Hi Stephen, There are a number of junior gas inflation lifejackets/ deck-vests which are very compact and comfortable to wear. Some could even be considered fashionable! If you search for Junior 100N lifejackets you should find a few to choose from in the £40 to £100 bracket. RYA members can get a discount on some junior lifejackets. www.rya.org.uk/newsevents/news/pages/ryamembersenjoydiscountsonnewspinlockjuniorlifejacket.aspx There is also the option of a buoyancy aid to assist swimming if your daughter can swim and is water confident, although these rely upon the person being able to keep there airways out of the water so offer lesser protection than a true lifejacket.
