Life Vests for Kids
Looking for a life jacket for your child for paddle boarding, kayaking, or wakeboarding?

Whether your little one is enjoying a calm SUP session or an adventurous day on the lake, Jobe has the perfect kids life vest for them. There's something for every child in our range of
kids life vests. Jobe Watersports has been producing high-quality watersports equipment since 1974, and every product leaving our factory is thoroughly tested for safety and performance. Our kids life vests come in a wide variety of sizes, colors, and flotation levels, designed to fit perfectly and keep your child safe and comfortable.
How to choose the right kids life vest
All Jobe vests are certified
buoyancy aids with a minimum of 50 Newtons (50N), ensuring your child floats safely while having fun. For additional safety, we also offer ISO-certified 100N vests, ideal for offshore activities or children who require extra flotation. Proper sizing is essential. A well-fitting vest should be snug: tighten all straps and close zippers, then lift the child by the shoulders of the vest. The child's ears and neck should not slip through the head opening. Always shallow-water test the vest after purchase to ensure correct fit and to help your child become comfortable wearing it.
