GDR 001 100 Newton Passenger Life Jacket CHILD – Buckled Safety for Young Passengers

The GDR 001 100 Newton Passenger Life Jacket CHILD – BUCKLED is designed to keep children safe on the water, whether aboard a tour boat, ferry, or family vessel. Manufactured by Mesica, this life jacket delivers 100 Newtons of buoyancy, offering life-saving flotation support for non-swimmers and unconscious wearers in emergencies.

Compliant with the EN ISO 12402-4 certification, this jacket is engineered to meet strict European safety standards. It provides sufficient buoyancy to turn a child face-up in the water, which is especially important if the child is unconscious or unable to swim. This makes it an essential piece of safety gear for all young passengers on inland or coastal waters.

The exterior is made from durable, water-resistant material in bright, high-visibility colors like fluorescent orange or yellow, ensuring children can be easily seen in daylight or during rescue missions. In addition, reflective panels on the shoulders and chest increase visibility at night or in low-light conditions. A built-in whistle attached to the chest area helps children call for attention if needed.

The buckled design features multiple adjustable straps across the chest and waist for a secure, customizable fit. To further enhance safety, the child version includes a secure crotch strap that prevents the jacket from riding up, keeping it snug and in place while in the water or moving around the boat.

Designed for comfort and mobility, the life jacket allows children to sit, stand, or move with ease while staying fully protected. Lightweight yet effective buoyant foam fills the jacket’s core, helping children stay afloat without feeling restricted or weighed down.

A rescue grab handle is located at the back, allowing adults to quickly and easily lift a child from the water or assist them during boarding. The ergonomic shape and soft lining reduce chafing and discomfort, making it suitable for extended use during longer boat trips or group excursions.
