Be sure to prepare a life jacket for your child to play in the river!

Recently, it has become mainstream to have children wear rash guards to protect them from UV rays, but the most important thing to have when playing outdoors near water, such as in the Umikawa River, is a life jacket !

As the temperature rises, we often hear sad news, but to be honest, there are times when I wish I had worn a life jacket.

I can understand why you might think that you will only wear it a few times, or you might want to buy something bigger so that you can wear it again next year. It doesn't matter if it's cheap, so choose something that's the perfect size and put it on.

Larger items can easily slip through a small child's body, and when they get into the water, only the life jacket will float, which can bury their face and make them feel uncomfortable.

Depending on the age and body size of your child, the smallest adult size is OK. This may be the case, but children's vests have crotch belts to prevent them from slipping out.

For younger children, there is also a pillow that allows them to turn their face upwards in the water.

If you only think about safety, it may seem formal, but life jackets have the advantage of allowing you to use your arms and legs freely (^^)

It may be fun to cling to a floating ring, but life jackets are perfect for children who love to move their bodies as they allow them to use both hands freely .

Life jackets are not something you see on a daily basis, and if you have never worn one, it may seem like a high hurdle, but once you wear one and play, you will feel very safe, so it is natural for both adults and children to wear it. It's starting to feel like (^^)

Nowadays, you can often see them in the swimwear section of shopping malls, which are not specialty stores, so if you see them, be sure to give them a try.

If you are near a JSPTOKAI physical store, we have a lot of products for adults and children, so please feel free to come and visit us!
