We used the Costco infant vest for our little one back then. At first she wasn't a fan, but eventually she grew to tolerate it. We used it all the way up to 3 years old.

And this floater for chilling at the coves and pool.

That life jacket looks a little more roomy around the neck area at the very least, so maybe I’ll look up that brand.. and ya we have a nice floaty for coves and what not! Thanks for the pics!

I was finally able to take her out this year. Cant believe that it has taken us 5 months to take her out, been so busy on the weekends that we just couldn't pin a weekend down to go out. It was an awesome day out on the water. Current was pushing me sideways for a little bit but then it calmed down. First time using our new floating mat, as you can see it took a while to totally lay flat.

First outing of 2023 with the boat, ran amazing as usual, water temp of 74 degrees.
@Acard7 Sorry, no help on the infant life jacket but what do you think of the SunChill? I almost pulled the trigger on one at the Milwaukee Boat Show back in January.

Yes, I did think of that. There are two spots that concern me in the black portion. They are small but appear deep. Think I'll fill in with silicone until the end of the season, to prevent water getting it, IF it is in deed that deep.

It would have been interesting to see if you shut down your engines (stopped all the noise and vibrations) if it would have calmed down and/or went on his way?

He looks to be injured in 3 places too, which maybe contributed to his rude aggressiveness behavior?

Kept at idle or Neutral when he went under me. Here's the result. 😁

Yeah, he's got some battle scars. I watched him attack a pontoon boat as well.

We love it, second year with it. So much easier carrying on the boat than the damn rolled water mats, so we actually have the swim deck back while under way! Takes me about 1-2 minutes to pump it up and even faster to take the air out. Easy to stow when it’s in its bag too. The kid loves it too and seems to be holding up to the abuse of our 5 year old jumping on it off the back of our boat. There are replicas like it all over the internet now, not sure how they have held up but we really think the sunchill is built well and will last.
