Radar Akemi Toddler CGA Life Vest (Up to 30lbs)

That is the Supportive Head Float. For infants (up to 30 lbs), the Coast Guard requires this extra buoyancy to help turn a child face-up in the water. Radar designs this float to be supportive but soft, ensuring it doesn't push their head forward uncomfortably while they are sitting on the boat.

This is a common concern. To solve this, Radar uses soft webbing and ensures the strap is positioned to pull from the center of the vest. Because the Akemi is made of Two-Way Stretch Neoprene, the vest body moves with her, reducing the "tugging" sensation on the strap that you find with cheaper nylon vests.

Yes. The Emergency Grab Handle is specifically reinforced for that purpose. It allows you to quickly and safely lift your child from the water onto the boat or swim platform. Radar integrates this handle into the internal structural webbing of the vest for maximum strength.

Yes, Radar uses the same Neck & Arm Hole Fleece Liner. For infants, this is even more important as their skin is thinner and more prone to "vest burn" from salt or lake water friction.

Absolutely. The vibrant Pink panels provide high-contrast visibility. Whether she is playing at the water's edge or floating near the swim platform, she will be much easier to spot for both parents and other boat drivers.
