Toddlers & Infants (Hutchwilco sizing)
As NZ does not have lifejacket standard for children under 10 kg due to difficulties in testing, we have adopted a specialist design which exceeds the demanding and stringent requirements of the US Coastguard, and added two models aspecifically designed to protect children under 36 months in age.
Size – Infant
Designed for children from approximately three months to 18 months old. Buoyancy foam concentrated in front of jacket to support child in water, but shaped away from neck area for infant’s comfort. A small amount of buoyancy at top of back. Large split collar supports head in water, but stays free and clear whilst wearing. Front zip with additional adjustment strap and crotch strap.
Size – Toddler
A larger version of the infant jacket, generally suitable for children approximately 1-3 years.
Please Note: For your safety and comfort it is important to select a correctly sized jacket which is designed specifically for its intended use e/g/ Always use a buoyancy aid without a collar for water-skiing or jetskiing to avoid serious neck injuries in a fall.
