The best kid life vest is the one the kid will wear

We’ve been going kayaking in the creek near my house and I bought a swim vest for my daughter and then realized it was symmetric and wouldn’t float her in a way that would tilt her nose and mouth toward the air (as opposed to the back of her head) if she fell into the water, so I bought one that would. But she wouldn’t wear it. So I used the only one I could. The one that she would wear.
