X 2...w/an addition...water safety doesn't start & stop on the boat...kids can fall off docks & seawalls as easily as from a boat...for really small kids, put the jacket on 'em soon as they get out of the car...from seat belt to life jacket ain't a bad way to look at it...and even w/a life jacket, currents can have a toddler away from a dock in nothing flat...while readying the boat, one parent should be APPOINTED to be the kid watcher...have a conversation about it w/whatever adult is w/you...I would suggest until a child reaches a level of competence around the water, TWO adults should be present w/one appointed as above...I know some want to take their kids fishin' & boatin' at a very young age when their spouse is at work, etc...but it is risky...
