Salus Baby Vest

Summer means the cottage and pool time for us. But with our new little family member now having a place at the cottage picnic table and also a spot on the family boat, it became evident that safety was going to take a whole new meaning with a 6 week old in our lives.

Here is a product that I VERY much recommend, if not insist you add to your buying list if you have a cottage, or a pool, or will vacationing where water is this summer.

But a big part of our summer involves water - whether at the family pool, or at the cottage where water surrounds us. And although I have no fear of our 6 week old running off the dock, or jumping in after a frog, there is that new Mom fear of being on a dock, or by the pool without some safety.

Enter the Salus vest.

LOVE this. It was easy to put on our little one, who didn't fuss much when we put him in this - and a few seconds after we snapped him in, and tightened the straps, he was fast asleep. We were confident that he was safe, and it was obvious, he was not bothered by being in a life preserver. (See pictures above) We went for a little boat ride, confident that he was safe.

And although he is much too tiny and young to go into the water right now, when he does, his Salus life jacket will be on him, so I feel comfortable. The design ensures that the baby will turn face up from a face forward position and the 3 piece collar cradles the head when lifted by the collar straps or while the baby is floating on their back.

For this summer, or next, when you have a little one and are anywhere near water like us, even if the baby won't be swimming, it's best to put a little vest on them to be safe. And come the time when we can bring him into the lake, or the pool, this vest will be also on him, making sure tha water can be enjoyed safely, and make for amazing summer fun.
