A100 children's life jacket

The Floatee A100 life jacket is not designed as a swimming aid but as a safety device. If a child goes into the water wearing the life jacket, the product will need to be recharged using a Floatee refill before it can be used again.

No, the Floatee A100 life jacket requires immersion in water to activate. It will not inflate in the event of sea spray, water play, rain or spilled water.

The Floatee A100 life jacket can be hand‑washed in cold water using a mild soap.
Warning: remember to remove the gas cylinder and the water detector before washing! Otherwise, you risk triggering the product.

Then leave it to dry in the shade on a plastic hanger, away from direct sunlight.

For stubborn stains, use a natural soap (such as gall soap, bicarbonate of soda soap or Marseille soap).
Do not use bleach or strong detergents.
Do not machine wash.
Do not tumble dry.
Do not iron.

We recommend referring to our size guide (at the top of our product page).

If two sizes fit, we recommend choosing the larger of the two.

Yes, the Floatee A100 life jacket has been designed to be easily reused after deployment. All you need to do is replace the CO₂ cylinder and water detector specially designed for this life jacket (see product). To recharge, simply unscrew the used gas cylinder and water detector and screw in the new gas cylinder and water detector.

We can also take care of this for you via our recharging service.

In the event of a manual activation, remember to add the green clip (manual activation indicator).

Aviation regulations permit CO₂ cylinders in the hold and in the cabin. However, we recommend that you check with your airline in advance and consult our dedicated page.

See the ‘Flying’ page (also applies to life jackets)

No. The Floatee A100 children’s life jacket inflates automatically upon immersion in water. Under no circumstances should you inflate it by mouth using the mouth inflator; this is only intended for emergency top‑up on an already inflated product. If you inflate it by mouth and then the automatic mechanism is triggered, this could damage the product.

The A100 life jacket slips on just like a normal jacket!

No, this could prevent the life jacket from working properly, as the inflatable section needs room to inflate. You can, however, wear an extra layer underneath.

They are guaranteed free from harmful substances. The Oeko‑Tex Standard 100 label guarantees that they contain no allergenic dyes, azo dyes (responsible for cancer), PFAS, etc.

No, under no circumstances should you use a recharge intended for another Floatee product on your Floatee A100 life jacket!

Each Floatee recharge is designed for a specific product. In fact, the recharge for the children’s life jacket has a trigger indicator, which is not included in the recharge for the children’s anti‑drowning T‑shirt.
