At three months my granddaughter was in the boat almost every day. She wore a life jacket and was in a bed on the floor. I was alone with her most of the time. I didn't do long trips alone though. Of course I was very careful if it was rough. She is 6 now and LOVES her life jacket. She is an excellent swimmer but still loves to wear it when swimming in deep water and can't wait to put it on in the boat even though she doesn't need it by law anymore. Today she informed me she was getting her boating license and I would have to use another boat because she was going to drive "this" one. I think it is all about how comfortable people are with the water.
