Full Throttle Life Jackets: PDB Tested No. 192

Getting your children to wear life jackets just got a little easier with the release of the two new designs from Water Buddies. Full Throttle, a leading manufacturer of PFDs (personal flotation devices) and other products for watersports, has added these vests to fit children from 30 to 50 pounds and they are designed to make wearing a PFD fun. 

Full Throttle already has two imaginative Water Buddies designs with friendly characters that appeal to children. These designs include a Ladybug and an Astronaut. For this year, a Dinosaur and a Firefly have joined the expanding line.

Each Water Buddies vest has a uniquely-shaped foam back which brings the designs to life. With soothing fabrics and lightweight, durable flotation foam, the vests are extremely comfortable to promote all-day wear when in or around the water.

All Water Buddies vests feature durable front-zippered closures with fully-adjustable waist belts in complementing colors. An adjustable leg strap helps prevent the vest from riding up. The Type III vests inspire water safety for children and peace of mind for parents. Prices start around $34.99 and if it gets your kids excited about wearing a life jacket, it’s well worth it in our book.
