What is the maximum infant life vest weight in kilograms?

• A. 10 kg
• B. 12 kg
• C. 16 kg
• D. 20 kg

Answer: (C)

Infant life vests are certified for a specific weight range to ensure the buoyancy and fit keep the airway clear and the vest secure in an emergency. The maximum weight the infant vest is approved for is 16 kilograms, so it’s suitable for infants up to that weight. If a child weighs more than 16 kg, this vest would not meet certification requirements and a different, properly sized flotation device would be needed. Among the options, 16 kg is the highest weight within the vest’s certification, while 10 kg and 12 kg are below the limit, and 20 kg exceeds the vest’s approved range.
