Kids Buoyancy Aid

Help your child enjoy the water with confidence and safety with our carefully selected range of kids buoyancy aids. Whether they’re learning to kayak, sailing for the first time, or just having fun near the water, a buoyancy aid provides essential support to help them stay afloat while giving them the freedom to move.

From toddlers to teens, our children’s buoyancy aids are designed with safety, comfort, and visibility in mind—making them ideal for a wide range of water-based activities.

What is a Kids Buoyancy Aid?

A kids buoyancy aid is a type of personal flotation device (PFD) designed specifically for children who are active and confident in or around the water. Lighter and more flexible than a life jacket, buoyancy aids typically provide 50N of buoyancy—enough to assist with floating, swimming, or self-rescue in calm conditions. They’re ideal for supervised watersports like kayaking, paddle boarding, dinghy sailing, and general water play.

Features of Kids Buoyancy Aids

Bouyancy aids for kids are built to deliver both security and enjoyment, with features that parents and children will appreciate:

• Adjustable straps for a secure, snug fit.
• Bright colours and reflective panels for enhanced visibility.
• Crotch straps on smaller sizes to prevent the aid riding up.
• Grab handles for quick retrieval from the water.
• Lightweight and quick-drying materials perfect for repeated use.
• Soft foam panels that move with the body for all-day comfort.

These features ensure that every child, whether a confident swimmer or beginner, has the right combination of support, safety, and flexibility.
