@babycenter: POV: It’s beach day and you’ve packed everything. But you might be missing one important thing – a life jacket. 🦺 ER doctor, mom of three, and BabyCenter Medical Advisor @TheRealDrDarria is here with an important reminder: Both the American Red Cross and the AAP recommend life jackets for all kids near open water. If you don't have life jackets for your kiddos, you can find them pretty easily online or at most outdoor stores. When looking for a life jacket, check to make sure: ✅ “USCG Approved” is written on the label. ✅ The life jacket has a snug fit, head support, a crotch strap, and a grab handle. Water safety starts with the right gear! 🫶 #parentsoftiktok #firsttimeparents #newparents #beachsafety #Summer #safetytips

For those wondering this is a Stohlquist infant life jacket. Had to pause the video and rely on google to get the brand.

Until what age would you have your children in a life jacket?

I’ve also been told to have children wear bright colored swimsuits as blues and greens can make them practically invisible in the water.

100% on the life jackets. I was a lifeguard for years, but went to the beach with my toddler, carried him in the water and we got knocked over by a wave when the sand washed away under us. I caught him but that could have been tragic. He ALWAYS wore one.

user7515176566264 :
how old do they have to be to not need the life jacket? mine are 9 and 6 and pretty strong swimmers. we always follow the rule that a parent needs to be within arms reach in an ocean. do they still need life jackets?

My 5 year old is a swimmer. And wore a life vest at the beach. The ocean is big and rough and she is small and fragile.

My son has this. Where is the flap supposed to go? In the front or back? It seems like it tips him over and he bobs from front to back.

Stacy :
When I was 6 I was caught in a strong undertow and taken out on the ocean. My dad was able to grab me by the ankle and pulled me back to shore. It happened so fast! I even knew how to swim and went to the beach often.

Im the mom that doesn't care if my kid doesn't like it.. we will spend days inside practicing wearing it without issues before we head to the water! it saves lives and my kids know we put them on before we leave our car! It really can become a part of your swim wear if you allow it to not be optional. Want to go to the beach then you are agreeing to wearing a life jacket in our house!
