UTMB Drs. Sally Robinson and Keith Bly, in their Keeping Kids Healthy column, provide numerous tips on the proper selection and use of life preservers and life jackets. "When obtaining life jackets, parents should choose personal flotation devices that are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard and tested by the Underwriters Laboratories. If they have been tested and approved, the label will say so. Child PFD approvals also are based on the child's weight, so you must check the user weight on the label."
