We want everyone to enjoy the summer weather, but we also want everyone to stay safe while out on the water. If you plan on taking your small children on the water, please make sure you choose the proper life jacket for their body and weight. Not all life jackets fit each child the same way. So be sure to test your life jackets to make sure they work properly for your child. This great video from America's Boating Channel explains how to choose the right life jacket for your child.
