Kids buoyancy aid

What's the best bet for a two year olds Buoyancy aid, getting a bit big for the spiral life jacket.

The best ones are the ones that they will happily wear all day without argument so they have to be "cool"
Our kids liked the Helly Hanson closed cell foam vest type. These had the advantage of giving a bit of body armour protection as well.
They don't give the full monty protection of an automatic lifejacket, but I've seen kids put off sailing because they have been forced to wear those.
Decathlon do a fair range for dinghy or kayaking use.

More usefully.... if you PM me on Friday night I will try and find ours (kids now 22 and 20) which are the ones mentioned above.
If we still have them (I will have to check with Mrs Poecheng) then they were great and you are welcome to them. May have given them away a while ago though . We will pass by Ipswich soon.
Tie a long long line on and chuck 'em overboard - they love it !

doubt you will find a bouyancy aid for a two year old - unless they are a good swimmer you need a foam lifejacket which, by design, will keep their face pointing upwards if they go in the drink. We used Crewsaver.
