ABSTRACT:
A personal floatation device particularly adapted for home use with babies under parental supervision. The personal floatation device has floatation foam pads sewn into a sturdy, non-slip, woven cotton cover. The back section has three floatation foam panels--the head support, the back support and the pant back. The front section has three floatation foam panels--the pant front, and two elongated suspender panels which are sewn into the waist of the pant and placed vertically over the baby's chest to attach to the lower portion of the floatation foam head support through use of Velcro strips sewn on to each side of the head support. The front and back panels of the pant are secured together with Velcro strips. The floatation foam in the head support has a cut-out hole in which the baby rests his head. The baby's face and breathing passages are clear of the water, allowing the baby to float comfortably in the back float survival position giving complete freedom of movement of arms and legs. A pull strap sewn into the center at the top of the head support is used to pull the baby around on top of the water.
