Through extensive testing with new test-methods, the lifejacket has proved performance to be in compliance with the requirements of the new regulation. Comfortable to wear – easy donning. It has been of great importance to design a lifejacket with optimal comfort to give parents and babies the best possible feeling of confidence and safety. Thermo Cruise Baby 2010 is easy to don, just to put on as a jacket, and close with click-buckles and a zipper.
Thermo Cruise Baby 2010 is covering vital parts of the body with an isolating layer, to prevent loss of body temperature (hypothermia). The head of the baby is protected by an isolated hood, as the head is most exposed for heat-loss. The isolating layer will also protect against punches to the body and head in an emergency situation.
The “mother’s line” is a multi functional belt, making it possible for the parents to connect the baby to their own lifejacket and make sure they will keep close contact with the baby during an evacuation. The belt is also fit as a lifting loop for safe and comfortable lifting of the baby.
This lifejacket is developed from the previous model Thermo Cruise Baby, which has been preferred by many cruise and passenger ships all over the world. Due to a revision to Regulation III/7 of the SOLAS convention it is as from July 2010 required that all passenger ships must have infant lifejackets onboard in following numbers:
a) At least 2, 5% of the total number of passengers for voyages less than 24 hours
b) For voyages of 24 Hours and more, one lifejacket for each infant must be available onboard each passenger ship. Regatta Thermo Cruise Baby 2010 will comply with this new regulations
