BoatUS Foundation Chilren’s Life Jacket Loaner Program Grows
“Everyone got a life jacket?” It’s a
simple question boat owners often ask when heading out on the water. However, for younger guests who require the right sized life jacket that answer isn’t always “yes.” There may be only adult-size life jackets on board, kids may have simply outgrown their life jacket, or perhaps some younger guests joined the outing at the last minute. To help get kids in right-sized life
jackets, the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety’s Kid's Life Jacket Loaner Program now offers over 530 locations across the country – marinas, boat clubs, waterfront businesses and even fire houses – where kid’s life jackets in various sizes (up to 90 pounds) can be borrowed at no cost for the afternoon, day or weekend. Over 40 new loaner locations have been added this year. “Kids wearing an adult life vest
provides a false sense of security because they can easily slip out once they hit the water,” said BoatUS Foundation Program Manager Alanna Keating. “It’s better to make a pit stop at one of our loaner locations and grab one that fits. All you have to do is sign it out and return it when you are done. It’s that simple.” To find a location near you, go to
