56 CANOEING: you should not put anything on over your child's lifejacket

A word of caution - you should not put anything on over your child's
lifejacket (or your own for that matter).

- the exposed shoulders are the best way to grap them if they fall out.

- if it's a type V jacket (or any PFD with an extra piece of head
floatation - keeps your head above water if you're unconsious) the
thing don't work right with something over it.

- other reasons that i can't remember right now.

As always, it's your choice to make for yourself and your kids.
