Sizing and Approval Notice

This model is rated for infants weighing up to 30 lb. Always confirm the child's current weight and verify the Transport Canada approval and sizing information printed on the sewn-in vest label before use.

Fasten the front zipper, both adjustable belts and the crotch strap before entering the water. Tighten the vest evenly and confirm that it cannot ride excessively above the infant's shoulders or face. Constant, close adult supervision is essential whenever an infant is in or near the water.

Parts Desk Insight

The most important specification for this vest is the maximum 30 lb weight rating. The 99493 is the red/black colour variant of the Seachoice infant Evoprene line — all five colour variants (99492 through 99496) share the same construction and weight rating. The pillow, crotch strap and grab strap are important infant-specific features, but they do not replace constant hands-on adult supervision. When the child outgrows this vest, the Seachoice 85101 child-size Evoprene is the natural step-up. Confirm the child's current weight and inspect every closure before each use.
