Safety equipment for babys & toddlers aboard a310 ?

"The weather conditions were rough - strong wind and high seas.
"The wind speed recorded on land at the airport was 61km (38 miles) an hour
.

If the reports are correct of a child having survived this incident then i cannot see how with the above weather conditions unless the child was wearing some sort of inflatable life vest or in a floating cot ?

But if so that would mean either the passengers knew they where in serious trouble and had been told by there captain they where ditching or one very anxious mother was'nt taking any chances ?

so i was wondering do they have inflatable life vests /cots for children ie toddlers onboard this type of airbus ?

I know the policy on most uk airlines is child under 2 on parents lap and child over 2 years has to have own seat .

But Surely an adult life vest would be much too big for a child between the ages of say 2 years to 7 years ?

do they have something on board specifically for that age group ?
