Anyone know where I can buy a life jacket for a toddler. We are taking several boat trips and want some extra protection to keep the little one safe.

I have a Speedo brand swimming aid that my daughter outgrew but it's for use with 2+ I'm pretty sure, and it also says on the label that it shouldn't be used for boating. My husband bought this one in the US. How about checking the sports centers where there are pools and shops (swimsuits, swimcaps, etc) and see if they have some?

My wife bought one for our daughter, it works great!
I'll ask her to respond to this thread and she can tell you where she bought it. (Although I'm pretty sure she bought it online.)

Yeah, I am definitely looking for more like something shown in your picture. Please let me know where your wife was able to find it.

The life-jacket won't however protect your child from maniac paddle boarders.

Your knees are protected, therefore the Wee could probably board that board without too much physical trauma for the mentor. Still one of my favourite shots.

Hi, I'm Maoman's wife. I got that life jacket online and they had already sold out.
Toddler's life jacket is hard to find. Have you consider this kind of swimming suit?

This is such a rocking photo...
I have a trade show this week in Taipei and there should be several swim/dive vendors there. I remember seeing child's life jackets there. We are setting up tomorrow and if I see anything at the show I'll post up with info here...

I just saw one used one being sold by a family on Taichung Parents' facebook page. Splashabout for ages 2.5-5 years. $1,000 +$300 for shipping. This is the link on the Yahoo Auction page they set up:
http://tw.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auction/d67561009?u=Y0175998504
If you're interested, PM your contact details and I'll let the family know, if you can't work out the Yahoo Auction setup.

Thanks, I found one in an outdoor stores in Tianmu. It was a little big, but with straps that went between the legs it stayed on well and kept her safe during our trip.

Was in Carrefour at Metrowalk mall on Sunday morning, they have a large range of different size life jackets, everything from toddler to adult.
