- You need a Coast Guard approved life jacket for boating or open water
- Your child is outside the stated weight range
- You want detailed sizing and safety documentation from the maker
What owners like

What it does
A toddler swim vest with built in arm floats, buckles and a crotch strap, meant to help small children get used to the water; this page covers the current MoKo listing, the closest fit to the original 13 to 30 lb Blue Shark version.
- Arm floats joined to a chest piece, worn like a vest
- Double buckles and adjustable straps to hold it in place
- Adjustable crotch strap to stop the vest riding up
- Bright cartoon prints, which the maker says help parents spot their child
- Light and easy to clean, per the maker
A low cost swim aid for toddlers learning to be comfortable in a pool, with straps and buckles meant to keep it on. MoKo sells it as a learning aid used under adult supervision, not as a life jacket, so families who want a Coast Guard approved jacket should look elsewhere.

Worth knowing
