He's a good swimmer, for 9-10yrs old, but in a dump, he'll panic (me too), and I wanted to get peoples advice on good PFD's to buy for kids, that don't bunch up around their shoulders. I have a PFD that is flat, and needs to be pulled to activate a CO2 cartridge. I don't want that for him (or me, I'm thinking), because of the concern if get bonked on head during a roll by the kayak, or a boat, etc...

Anyways, good advice.. and I'm determined to make sure he keeps his PFD on from now on. I welcome any PFD advice, or brands, for both kids and adults. Thanks.
I might get this one for Nick, I would like to start taking him out with me.
