Troubleshooting
Vest feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the front zip and the leg strap. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate clothing underneath. If the vest is consistently the wrong size, consider purchasing the next size up or down.
Child is uncomfortable or restricted
Verify that the foam sticks are correctly inserted and that the vest is not overly buoyant for their current skill level. Ensure the straps are not digging into the skin.
Foam sticks are difficult to remove or insert
Gently wiggle the foam sticks. If they are wet, allow them to dry slightly before attempting removal or insertion. Do not force them.
