As we strive to keep kids safe please head these important reminders, life jackets do not replace the safest methods to prevent drowning, eyes on the child. Always. Drowning happens silently. You won’t hear it. There will be no splash. No scream for help. Please share these reminders. Wishing everyone a safe summer.
Did you know that for a life jacket to be approved by the U.S. Coast Guard-approved it has to meet standards of proper buoyancy and construction?
This Safe Kids Month, we're providing resources that focus on the importance of getting the right fit when using critical child safety gear, including bike helmets, booster seats, life jackets, and safe sleep environments.
