Mustang SOLAS Type 1 Child Life Jacket - Orange

The Mustang SOLAS Type 1 Child Life Jacket in orange is engineered for young boaters who need maximum safety with minimal storage footprint. This SOLAS-approved child life jacket holds four distinct regulatory certifications in a single compact design—a rare achievement in marine safety equipment. The orange high-visibility color meets SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) standards and ensures children remain visible to rescue personnel and other vessels in emergency situations.

Built for space-constrained environments, this life jacket stacks efficiently head-to-toe and front-to-front, solving the classic storage challenge on smaller fishing boats and recreational vessels where cabin space is at a premium. The vest features SOLAS-grade reflective tape for nighttime visibility and includes an SOLAS-approved whistle—critical safety tools when response time matters. Its lightweight construction (1.45 lbs) won't burden young wearers during extended boating days, while the compact dimensions (10 x 4 x 22 inches) make it practical for families who maintain multiple child-sized PFDs aboard.

This Type 1 life jacket is designed for children on commercial and recreational vessels where international maritime standards apply, including charter boats, fishing expeditions, and offshore cruising where SOLAS compliance is mandatory. Parents and crew supervising young boaters on multi-day trips or open-water passages benefit from the combination of proven buoyancy performance and the peace of mind that comes with internationally recognized certification. The attachment point for personal locator beacons or tethers adds an additional safety layer for young children learning water confidence in controlled environments.
