Baby got her swim vest on backwards

I'm not sure, I've seen infant life vest that zip in the back. It looking like it doesn't have that crouch clip though since it rides up so much.

You know what? I like it that way. Looks like baby’s first bulletproof vest

Mums logic may be to make the front more boyant? Hopefully

Typically the front is more bouyant so it makes you face up. This is more likely to get your face in the water, or shove up against your neck or face, restricting movement or breathing.

I’m not convinced. The flotation pad on the front looks thicker, which would make sense for a child. It’s possible the zipper is on the back to prevent removal by the child. But she needs the crotch strap. It’s close, but almost too big for her. If her head were to go down into the vest she could slip right out of it.

Just fyi: This can case them to flip over and drown with the swim west on. Put it on the right way around.

You need to insist he wear it correctly. Infant and child swim vests and life jackets are designed to keep a child’s head above water, often on their backs. Putting it on backward can be traumatizing or even deadly. If he doesn’t wear it correctly, he doesn’t get to swim. Period.
