Rate This Answer

According to U.S. Coast Guard's Office of Boating Safety, your baby should not travel on a boat - including rowboats, kayaks, motorboats, and sailboats -until he weighs at least 18 pounds and can wear a personal flotation device (PFD), also known as a life jacket or life vest, that fits snugly. Most babies will weigh 18 pounds somewhere between 4 and 11 months old. ChaCha!
