Is this life vest coast guard approved?

No, Tara I don't believe it is. I know that my grandson who is 6 wears this and did very well with it as it is not tight around the armpits and doesn't rub him either. He would wear it with no arguing at all. I had looked at some that were coast guard approved, but when I looked at them I knew he wouldn't wear it because he did have one similar and it rubbed him under his armpits and had a rash from it. So I did go with this one and it worked fine. However, we never went out boating , only used it in an underground pool at home and at swim lessons. Jumped off the diving board etc with it and was fine. I jope this helps.

No - this is a swim vest, not a life vest. Great for helping a child learn to swim and gain confidence, but should not substitute for a life vest at all.

Although this vest has been great for our 4 year old (now 5) I have no information that indicates that it is Coast Guard approved.

Kristina, Not certain of approved or not but it is an excellent blood pressure monitor. So far it matches with my doctors results exactly. Hope this helps you.

I do not know if it is OSHA approved but it is well built and very sturdy. I feel very secure using it.

Not a good idea. It specifically states that it is not a substitute for a life jacket and is not a life saving device. So, please do not replace your life jacket with this.

Sure! It's a great vest,,,, it's adjustable so you can start lightweight,,,, and add weight as needed,,,,,I highly recommend this one,, if you're going to invest in a good quality weight vest,,

Absolutely! This is one of the few vests that has flotation material under the dogs chest which helps keep their head above water. Just make sure you get the appropriate size for your dog.

it does monitor heart rate if you push and hold a button. I would not trust it to be completely waterproof. I am on my second LifeTrak, and with the first one, I trusted the claim of waterproof. It quit working after two months. LifeTrak customer service was great and replaced it, but I don't trust the new one to be completely waterproof.

By looking at the construction of it you would think so. I have a life proof case and in theory it would work. But if it didn't. For any reason. I just ruined my units. I would like to test this since I swim as well but just don't want to risk it.

I don't think so...I bought the Sherpa case for my mother's iPad a year or so ago. I don't have a Lifeproof Nuud case, but I just looked it up on Amazon. It looks like it adds significant bulk to an iPad. The Sherpa case wants to squeeze the iPad pretty tight in all dimensions...

Yes always call life proof and give them the serial numbers to check that it is real. I bought mine from amazon and it's a counterfeit

Lifetrak states it is water resistant to 30 meters. I have not worn mine in the water so no first hand experience.

I am no expert, I sail and have been caught in some pretty bad weather and my vest never became activated. I hope this was helpful.

You need to check your state DNR website to see their requirements. We're in Georgia and they require the boat be registered if you plan on putting any kind of motor on it, which we will be putting a trolling motor on. Anytime you put a boat in public waters you're required to have lifejackets. As far as a local pond, I don't know. We use the rule of thumb, if you're on the water, bring life jackets.

Store advertised as such. Has LifeProof stamped on back. Accompanying paperwork says so. Yes.

This is a type III device, BUT it must be worn at all times to qualify as an approved Coast Guard life vest. You can't just have it in the boat as with other flotation devices. Unless it is worn, it doesn't count.

I would find a less bulky PFD. LIfe vests are vests for a reason. For one, when I've fallen out of a boat while rafting, I've been pulled back in by the in-boat person grabbing the shoulders of my vest, so they don't dislocate my shoulders. This would not do that. Also, if you go face first into the water, my guess is, this would hold your bottom up just as well as it would hold the top of your body up. You need something constructed to keep your head above water in turbulence and unpredictable environments. This is made for aerobics in a pool - a much different environment.
