It worked for everything, boating was safe, in the pool he was able to float face up comfortably, but we didn't use it in the beach not for any reason, just we were holding him and it seemed excessive

One month later we went boating and I loved the peace of mind knowing that even if my baby fell in, the design of the vest (there is no floatation material on the baby's back so the vest always puts the baby face up, plus the pillow under her head keeps her head out of the water) would keep her from drowning, regardless of what part of her body would hit the water first

Other wise for floating and boating its perfect.

This worked well for my 8 month old when boating

nice boating vest for kids

Works as it’s intended.

It works exactly as it should, but we only needed it for taking my 20 month old in the pool here and there

n’t have to worry about watching
