floatation suit for 7 year old

Hi all

i am having difficulty getting a floatation or survival suit for a 7 year old, he is approx 1.2 m high, there seem's to be plenty of toddlers suits and teenagers suits, i want to get a proper one, not a ski suit that will drown him if he falls in.main purpose is to keep him warm and interested in the rib.

if i can buy on line, even better.

thanks in advance.

These guys have some Fladen childrens suits on sale for 8-11 year old but they might fit if your kid is on the tall side - either that or he could grow into it?

thanks for that, on the fladen site they don't have a XXS just a XS, i have ordered a XS from fladen for my 11 year old, so when that comes (tomorrow i think) i can suss out the size.

Hammond suits are also made to measure so may be worth a call to Chris there to see if he can help, am sure he can.
