They must be properly sized for the intended wearer
One legal requirement for Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs) is that they must be U.S. Coast Guard approved for use on recreational boats. It is also required that there is one wearable PFD of appropriate size for each person onboard the vessel. Additionally, PFDs must be readily accessible and in good condition, with no signs of wear or damage.
PFDs being worn by passengers
The best place to put PFDs while you're on the water is on your body. You should always wear your PFD when you boat.
