You're already thinking ahead, preparing to keep them safe from common emergencies. Make sure LifeVac makes your list.

Over 6,500 lives saved, and counting.
Free replacement if you ever use it

The one moms keep telling each other about.
From baby showers to group chats to parenting communities online, LifeVac is the recommendation getting passed mom to mom — the "I wish I'd known about this sooner" find more parents keep in the diaper bag and never leave home without. Here it is in their own words.

Simple enough to use, no matter how scary the moment.
1 · Place
Place the appropriate-sized mask over the nose and mouth, creating a good seal.
2 · Push
While holding the mask in place, use your other hand to push the handle down.
3 · Pull
Without breaking the seal, pull the handle upward in a short, swift motion.
LifeVac will never push an object further into the airway. Its one-way valve ensures that air escapes through the vents on the device, and not into the victim, when the plunger is pushed. When you pull the plunger up, it creates suction to remove the obstruction. It can be used standing, sitting, or lying down — and even on yourself.
In a choking emergency, always:
- Call 911 immediately.
- Perform standard choking rescue (5 back blows, 5 abdominal thrusts).
- Use LifeVac only if standard choking protocol has failed.
LifeVac is a second-line treatment. It does not replace calling 911 or performing standard rescue protocols. We strongly encourage every customer to watch the training video before an emergency occurs.
From moms who chose to be prepared.
Thousands of families keep a LifeVac close. Here's why.
"Honestly, I was terrified once we started solids. I took the class and still wanted something simpler for the actual moment. This is it — it lives in my diaper bag now."
"Another mom mentioned it at a playgroup and I'd never even heard of it. Ordered one that night and practiced with the included mask the week it arrived."
"One in the kitchen, one in the diaper bag. I didn't get it because I'm anxious — I got it because I'm a mom. It quieted that little background worry I'd been carrying."
LifeVac is the real thing.
LifeVac is the first and only FDA-Authorized Suction Anti-Choking Device as a second-line treatment. In fact, every public school in Texas is required to keep one on hand as part of its safety protocol.
