Kids life jacket?

[Marvin willis]

My daughter is 6 years old 44” and 52 lbs and I can’t find a neoprene life jacket that fits her. The 50-90 lb life jackets are too small. The cheap jackets fit her fine. It’s not like she’s fat. I’ve been to multiple stores. If I get one to fit her around then it’s too long. Also the one she has says it’s not for jet skis or towing behind the boat. Any suggestions

To be perfectly honest, whatever you buy won’t fit for more than one season anyways so you might want to stick to the universal ones for now. My daughter is extremely tall and extremely skinny, its been a struggle to find a neoprene that fits. We landed on an O’Brien Women’s XS that worked (she’s 12). Typically the cheap ones are universal so the adjustments go farther.

We had a few like this until my son got bigger. By the time he transitioned to a youth jacket (50+ lbs.) we stopped using the strap that went between his legs and he asked us to cut the handle at the back of the neck off (we didn’t and keep the vests around as loaners for our guests’ kids). I don’t like the nylon jackets either.

yes, and it had to be pink and that is also what makes it harder to find.
I have a daughter as well.
I found it easiest to find a jacket on amazon, buy it in a few different sizes and just send the extra's back.
That's what we did when we bought our first boat since we need such an array of jackets for water sports.
Then you end up with 3 kids all the same size on a tube and you need the same size or close.
Then they get wet and they want to put on a dry one for the ride back to the dock.
AH!
