What is the first step when fitting an infant life vest?

Explanation:
Place the vest over the infant’s head. This orientation sets the correct position for the arm openings and ensures you can slide the child’s arms through before any buckles or tightening are done. If you try to buckle or tighten first, the vest may be misaligned or hard to fit properly. Once it’s on, you can move the arms through, fasten the straps, and tighten for a snug, safe fit, keeping the chin clear and, if present, securing any crotch strap to prevent the vest from riding up.
