Should I buy a Konfidence jacket for my dd?

[mummyloveslucy]

Hi, my daughter is nearly 5 and can't swim at all. We are going on holiday soon and there will be a lot of water parks. The jacket is very bright, so she'll be very visable and it will help her stay aflote if she falls in or when she's in the water with us. It's also more comfortable than arm bands and it's warm.
Ive looked at the sizes, and the biggest is a size 6-7 (max weight 50kg) I weighed my daughter and she weighs 50.2kg. They don't do them any bigger than that.
Should I still buy one, or would it be un safe or a waste of money? I've looked on e-bay and they are the same price as the shops. Do you think it'd be worth it?

They do ones for older kids too. Age 8+
I know nothing about them (just googled name lol!) so i have no idea if 6-7 would be ok for your DD.

She weighs 50kg , that would be over 7 stone - are you sure you don't mean pounds ? I think at least some of the waterparks won't let you use certain buoyancy aids fo your own, you might want to check each one before splashing out.

According to this 6-7 goes up to 57lbs. They also do youth (starting age 8-10) and adult sizes.

Oh! well she's not over 7 stone. Lol
She weighs 3.5 stone. She's very tall for her age and is the right weight for her hight apparently.
I'll check with the water parks first, it would save money if she could hire one.

The 6-7 would be the right size and it would last her a while too. I'll find out from the water parks before I buy it.
