In Iowa, inflatable personal flotation devices (PFDs) can be legally used for boating activities, but they must be worn at all times by individuals in certain situations. Specifically, inflatable PFDs are permitted for use by adults in boats over 16 feet in length, as long as they are approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. However, children under 13 years old must wear a traditional, non-inflatable PFD. It's essential to ensure that the inflatable PFD is properly maintained and has been fully inflated before use.
