We have a 6 month old and thinking it might be her first time on the boat this weekend. Anyone have any suggestions on what to get? and were to get it?

This is the one we got this year. It works great and the little guy didn't complain a bit!

I got a Stearns at Walmart for $20 it has a much lower cut at the neck.... for my daughter... the 1st one that I had for her, her head was being covered up... I will post pics of the 2... also the Stearns is a lot lighter and seems to breathe better. she is almost 8 months now, but was about 6 months when the pictures were taken.. .I am keeping the other one, becuase it fits my neice real well now and she is almost 2 yrs old.. the pics are on my other computer

I am with Billy...the Stearns one at Walmart is the best we've found so far for our 5 month old. The zip type listed by Mark rode up too far on our daughter's face and didn't make her happy.

here are the pictures of the 2 that I have and you can see that the zip up is un-zipped because when we zipped it it covered her face.... Upload

I bought the one at Walmart after trying the 1st out on the water... and she has much better range of motion in the new pink one.
