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.
