On board with little ones, safety allows no compromise. Children's lifejackets are designed around their weight and build, with one element that truly makes the difference: the head-support collar, which keeps the face clear of the water even if the child is exhausted or unconscious.
The choice always starts from weight: every model states a precise range, because an oversized jacket can slip off. A crotch strap is therefore essential to keep it snug, together with secure buckles a child cannot open alone. For sailing you will find automatic inflatable versions and fixed-buoyancy models up to 150N.
A practical tip: let the child try the jacket ashore and in shallow water, so they learn to trust it and move freely. Bright colours, a rescue handle and an integrated whistle add safety and visibility.
At Negrinautica you find certified junior models, such as the Crewsaver 150N automatic jacket, made to grow at sea with complete peace of mind. Free shipping over €200 and returns within 15 days.
