Boating with toddlers on Lake Havasu is common and can be done safely with the right precautions: a properly fitting infant or toddler life jacket (required by law for children under 12 in Arizona), a shaded area aboard (Bimini top or canopy), sunscreen reapplied frequently, toddler-safe hydration, and constant adult supervision near any open water area. Choose calmer morning hours over afternoon when wind and boat traffic increase. A stable pontoon boat is the safest choice for the youngest passengers.
