No, a child's life jacket should always be snug. If the life jacket is loose, they can slip out the bottom while struggling or while being lifted from the water. Some life jackets for very small children actually have straps that go around the thighs to prevent this from happening. A snug life jacket is much safer than a loose one.

It should be two words: life jacket. But it is probably better to hyphenate it as life-jacket. The two words are inseperable and make a concept different from what a jacket is--a life-jacket is not a kind of jacket. Semantically, they form a single word. Probably in due course it will be spelled as a single word, but in the meantime use the hyphen.
