The best baby swim vests to bring confidence to kids and peace of mind to parents

Babies love swimming and splashing around in the water, but a baby swimming aid such as a baby swim vest is a necessity to keep them safe as they play. It's understandable you'll want them to have something to keep them safe in the water, whether you're taking your baby swimming for the first time or if you go regularly. Some babies are hesitant in water when it comes to learning to swim and this is where baby swim vests are ideal.

It's worth noting that baby swim vests should only be used with older babies, and the majority of the swim vests on our list are suitable from when your tot reaches 12kg.

Baby swim vests offer support to your little one by helping them float in the water and will help build up your mini-me's confidence so they can be assured that the water is a fun and safe place to be. You could also consider a baby swim seat for children under the age of one but as with any swimming aid, they don't replace constant supervision, as noted by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

While babies and toddlers should never be left unsupervised while in the water, a baby swim vest will give you some peace of mind that your little one does have a floatation aid attached if they do get into difficulty in the water. Which type of swim vest your child will need will be determined by how much they weigh. It is important that the vest is not too big as this could rise around your little one's face, and many of the swim jackets have straps to keep the vest down and in place around the body.

From full swim jackets to flotation vests with armbands attached, there are many different types of baby swim vests on the market. To help you make the best choice for your kiddies, we have pulled together the best swim vests to help your child feel safe and confident in the water. If you are planning a trip to the beach it may also be a good idea to get some baby swim shoes to protect your little one's feet from sharp stones.

How we tried and tested these swim vest

When selecting the best swim vests for babies and toddlers, we have a number of ways to make sure that what we’re recommending is the best available for you and your little one. By combining real-world testing from our burgeoning army of mum testers, the extensive knowledge of our experienced editorial team, and insights from our thriving mum community on our Facebook group #mumtribe, we’re able to discover the products mums really like best and why, helping us highlight those that meet what you really want.

For the essential products, our annual Mother&Baby Awards shortlist the top products tested, and you can find full reviews from our mum testers provided on the product page. The winners and runners-up for each category then appear in our top picks article for that product, along with other products that were rated highly by our team. Find out more about how we test and what considerations we take into account in our testing process.

Testing the best baby swim vests

To fully put these swim vests through their paces, we called on our team of mum testers to try them out over the course of a few weeks with their babies and toddlers. We asked them to consider various factors that we know to be important to parents when looking for the best baby swim vests for their little ones. These included how safe their baby felt, how durable they are, whether they were comfortable to wear, how easy they were to put on, and whether they offer value for money. We also asked them to give the swim vest a score out of five and score each of the criteria individually.

By thoroughly testing and reviewing these key aspects of a baby swim vest, we’ve been able to compare and contrast each to be sure that you’re getting the most in-depth and first-hand feedback from parents just like you, helping you to make an informed decision when buying the best swim vest for your baby and toddler. For instance, the Splash About Go swim vest and JoJo Maman Bebe swim vests both scored highly with our testers as they feature removable floats to adjust the buoyancy. If your child needs more security, the Konfidence Swim vest also comes with a strap to stop the vest from riding up, and this was rated highly by testers.

We also spoke to Aine Hanley, ex-competitive swimmer and Associate Director of Aquatics at Water Babies to get her expert thoughts on how to choose a swim vest and their uses.

This lightweight yet durable baby swim vest is perfect to take on holiday. It is made from a quick-drying fabric and is designed to be hardwearing but comfortable for your little one.

As it's lightweight and foldable, it's easy to take with you on holiday or swimming lessons, as one of our mum testers, Jodie, noted, saying, "It is quite slim when folded so it doesn’t take up much room in your luggage." Our Dad tester, Joe was able to take it on holiday to Cyprus without it taking up too much space. Mum Yeeon also felt this lightweight design made it more comfortable for her child, noting, "The lightweight and comfortable design meant our toddler was very happy wearing it, which was a definite bonus."

The Splash About Go Splash swim vest is designed to hold tots in the right position to encourage them to get used to a swimming position, so naturally tips the child forward towards the water to help them find their water balance and confidence. Our mum tester, Aimee, thought this was a success, saying that it "allows my children to swim confidently in the water at the correct angle with their feet kicking. The design of the product would make it a win for me!" Dad Joe agreed as he found that it didn't rise up around her head or face when she was in the water, saying, "The ergonomics of the product seemed perfect for our daughter and it didn't rise when we placed her in the water with it on which we have experienced with other swim vests due to ill-fitting." He also noted that his daughter "obviously felt safe in the product as she developed her swimming skills whilst wearing it, and also, as parents, we felt she was completely safe at all times."

Best swim vest with adjustable buoyancy

Expert rating:
4.0

This cheerful baby swim vest combines its cute design with some excellent water safety features that won praise from our dad tester, Tom.

The design of the JoJo Maman Bebe allows your little one to move their arms and legs freely and keeps them in a natural swimming position, so it's great for learning to swim - providing buoyancy but encouraging them to also keep themselves afloat. "The vest does a decent job of keeping my son afloat, although it doesn’t do all the work for him, which I like. It’s designed to keep him buoyant enough to stay in a natural swimming position but still requires him to move his arms and legs. This balance seems to work well for his swimming practice," said our dad tester, who pointed out that "it doesn't completely keep him above water, so I still had to support him at times, but that seems to be the point. It’s great for helping him stay afloat without making him too dependent on it."

This vest also scored highly for practicality, with our tester noting that "it’s super light, which is great for carrying around, especially if you’re taking it on holiday. It also dries quickly, which is another bonus if you’re at the pool often or using it during back-to-back swimming sessions."

Our tester noted that it was quite snug on his son, with all the flotation inserts in place. However, as your child gains more confidence and you start removing the inserts, there’s some flexibility in how the vest fits. He also noted that it could be improved with a strap at the bottom to help keep it in place better and stop it from riding up. Despite these points, the JoJo Maman Bebe swim jacket was rated highly by our tester, who concluded: "It’s durable, effective, and does exactly what I wanted: it helps my son feel confident in the water without relying too much on artificial flotation."

With buoyancy focused around the chest, this swim jacket is designed to keep older babies and toddlers in the forward swimming position. Designed for fun and safety, it features a fully adjustable safety strap that sits between the legs for an extra layer of security and to avoid the jacket riding up over their face while they splash around. Our mum tester, Senior Digital Writer Hannah Carroll appreciated the strap and how easy it was to put on, saying "I was really impressed with this swim jacket. It was super easy to put on, and I especially liked the strap underneath. These types of jackets can sometimes be uncomfortable, but my three-year-old found it so comfortable that the real challenge was getting him to take it off!"

The Swimbest swim jacket is equipped with eight soft, flexible, and removable foam floats that allow you to customise the buoyancy to suit your child's skill level. You can remove the floats in pairs as your child's swimming abilities and confidence grow.

The SwimBest Jacket encourages the correct swimming position, helping your child learn the right techniques, but as Hannah noted, you still need to guide them if your child can't swim, as the buoyancy in the vest is strong and could flip them face down on top of the water. However, she still rated this swim vest highly for safety as it keeps them above the water and helps them adjust to learning to swim with your assistance.

Our tester found "it did take a little while to dry, but in warmer weather, that probably wouldn’t be an issue. However, I do wish it came with a carry bag, which would make it easier to transport when wet." So while this wasn't a deal breaker for Hannah, it's worth considering and you may want to take a waterproof bag if you're using it at the pool.

Pros

  • A wide choice of bright colours so you'll easily be able to see your little one in the water
  • Features a safety strap to keep it from riding up
  • 8 removable foam floats mean you can change the buoyancy as your child gains confidence

MOTHER&BABY

Just like the Swimbest Swim Jacket on our list of the best swim vests, this swim-school-approved swim jacket has eight foam floats, allowing you to adjust the buoyancy as your child's swimming abilities improve and our mum tester, Rebecca, found this to be helpful, commenting "The quality is excellent and I love the option to remove the floats; a definite plus for cleaning and as your child becomes more confident in the water, it gives you the option to adjust the buoyancy." Over the course of her time testing the Konfidence swim jacket, Rebecca observed her daughter growing in confidence in the water. "My daughter definitely grew in confidence throughout, jumping into the pool unaided, as the jacket always brought her up to the surface."

Rebecca did note that her daughter tended to bob forward in the water but pointed out that the jacket is no replacement for supervision. "While the jacket provides great flotation, my daughter did tend to bob forward and backwards, which led to her swallowing water very easily; you need to hold on to less competent or younger swimmers to ensure they are safe - as the website states, it is a buoyancy aid, not a life jacket."

This upgraded model has an adjustable and removable support strap which Rebecca found helped the jacket to stay in place. "The jacket was very easy to put on my daughter and she felt remarkably secure, thanks to the strap preventing the jacket from riding up over the shoulders."

While it comes in a wide range of colours, they all have a trademark yellow back to make your child highly visible in the water.

This buoyancy aid has multiple straps to provide greater support to kids in the water, keeping the vest in place and allowing them to find their balance more easily. Our tester, Joe, tested this with his 14-month-old daughter to help her "practice her swimming without compromising on safety whilst also having fun."

He felt there were some clever design features which made this vest stand out, including the strap and the handle. "It has a crotch strap which is good for making the vest more secure on your child and it also has a carry handle which is great for lifting in and out of the water if needed."

Our tester did note that this vest was large on his one-year-old, despite being marketed for 1-3 year olds. "We found that because the sizing of the small vest caters for 1-3 years, the likelihood of the vest fitting a smaller one-year-old is minimal—perhaps this vest is more suitable for two years upwards." Joe also noted that the stitching on the arms can rub but pointed out that this can be solved by wearing a swimsuit with more material.

Pros

  • Zipper is easy to take on and off your little one
  • Multiple straps allow you to adjust the size to make it a perfect fit
  • The crotch strap is padded for comfort and stops it rising over the head when kids are in the water
  • Comes in a range of bright colours that are easy to see in the water

Cons

  • Some children may find the strap between their legs uncomfortable
  • The Small size is likely to be too big for a 1 year old, and better from 2+

Best swim vest with armbands

Expert rating:
4.0
Sevylor Swim vestMOTHER&BABY

The Sevylor Puddle Jumper is fastened at the back, meaning your little one won't be able to undo it without your help. This is a great alternative to bulkier baby swim vests as the buoyancy aid is located to the front and on both arms. This will give your child more freedom when splashing around but still keep them buoyant. The placement of the buoyancy also allows them to swim on their front or back, which parents appreciated, with one noting, "My 2-year-old loves wearing this in the swimming pool. It allows for independence and helps develop confidence in the water. She can practice swimming on both her front & back. It is a really clever product."

As there's no need to inflate the swim vest, it's easy to pop on as soon as you get to the pool, but as the strap fastens at the back, it would be difficult for children to undo it and take it off. This was tested by Mother&Baby's Digital Writer, Rebecca Lancaster, who found it gave her confidence that her son was safe in the water as the strap kept it secured around him and the armbands helped to keep him buoyant and his head above water. "It kept him up in the water but also allowed him to float on his tummy and kick his legs to propel himself along, so he quickly learnt how to swim. I loved it so much I bought a second for my daughter when she was ready to get in the water."

They come in various colours that are sure to appeal to little ones but will also make them bright and visible in the water.

Pros

  • Not as restrictive as a full vest
  • Allow them to float on their front and back so great for learning to swim
  • Available in six different animal options
  • Fastens at the back so difficult for a child to undo themselves
  • Easy to put on as there's no need to inflate

The Splash About Kids Floatsuit helps promote the natural learn-to-swim position with the float arrangement and works by tipping your child forward so that their shoulder automatically moves towards the water. It does this without bulky armbands getting in the way so that they are encouraged to find their water balance and gain confidence in the water. Our mum tester, Shannon noted that "The vest is lightweight enough not to restrict movement but offers just the right amount of buoyancy to keep my child safe and supported in the water."

Shannon also appreciated the adjustable nature of the floatsuit, which allows you to remove the floats as your child gains confidence in the water - the full 16 floats give the maximum buoyancy when they're just starting out, and can be removed 2 by 2 as your child’s ability grows, then removed altogether once they can swim confidently. She found that "it’s perfect for beginner swimmers, as it gives them the confidence to explore the water while still allowing them to practice their movements. I’ve noticed a significant improvement in how comfortable and independent my child feels in the pool." She also noted that this adjustable buoyancy improves the longevity of the swim vest "It also offers great value for money as it grows with your child, enabling you to remove a float as your child’s confidence increases."

The design is well thought out, as Shannon found. "One of the standout features is the built in swimming costume, which make it easy to get a snug, secure fit and easy enough for my child to dress herself. The Velcro is sturdy and well-placed, so I don’t worry about it coming loose during use. Plus, the beautiful design makes it easy for my daughter to want to wear it!"

Pros

  • Offers adjustable buoyancy as your child's ability and confidence grows
  • UPF 50+ Sun protection
  • Has a range of cute prints with bright colours to help your child be seen in the water
  • Promotes a natural swimming position

Child testing the Zoggs swim vestMOTHER&BABY

This baby swim vest offers complete freedom of movement while in the water to help your toddler develop a natural swimming position and gain confidence in the water. Our Dad tester, Ed, noted that his little boy "felt secure splashing around in the pool, which gave me peace of mind. It keeps him afloat, he also easily leans forward to help practice swimming." It's made from neoprene and has UPF 50+ sun protection so it's perfect for taking with you to the beach or on trips to the outdoor pool, though our tester did note that while it's lightweight, "it’s a tad bulky, so it’s worth considering that if you have to travel by public transport or you’re taking it on holiday (this is a feature of all swim vests though, and not having to blow it up at the pool saves time)."

It has built-in floats that are puncture-proof to aid with buoyancy as your little one learns to swim, so there is no need to worry about floats deflating while you're out for the day, but our tester did compare it to a Splash About Swim vest he'd used previously. "One slight drawback is that this vest doesn’t have removable floats, unlike the Splash About vest we had before this. With that vest, we could take the floats out one at a time as my child became more confident." Nevertheless, he still felt this vest was " reassuring for both us, as parents, and him" as he gained confidence.

Pros

  • Offers complete freedom for toddlers to move about in the water and gain confidence
  • Encourages a natural swimming position
  • Made from neoprene with UPF 50+ maximum sun protection
  • Designed with built-in puncture-proof floats for great buoyancy and peace of mind
  • Choose from two different sizes to get the best fit for your child
  • Includes a manufacturer one year guarantee

Baby Swim Vest – All you need to know

We spoke to Aine Hanley, Associate Director Of Aquatics at Water Babies to find out all you need to know about using a swim vest with your toddler. She noted that the first thing to remember is that while a swim aid can be helpful to give both little ones and their carers confidence in the water, it's not a Life Preserver and young children should always be within arm’s reach of an adult. She says that when choosing a Swim vest, you should "always check the age and, most importantly, weight suitability of swim vest or buoyancy aid. Products are designed to support different body weights and using one that doesn't have enough support will not provide enough buoyancy. A swim aid that is too big will float up, and your child could slip down and out of it; a good fit is crucial."

Suitability - Most of the swim vests we recommend are suitable from 12kg and Splash About suggest that babies can wear float suits, jackets and vests. Prior to this they should be held by an adult when in the water and you could consider a baby wetsuit to keep them warm.

Safety certifications - When it comes to baby swimming, safety is the most important thing to consider as a parent. You should check your baby's swim vest meets all the EU safety requirements. These should be mentioned in the product description when purchasing. Choosing a vest with added sun protection is also a good idea, especially in the summer months, though you'll still need to make use the best baby sunscreen on any exposed skin, and reapply if they've been in the water.

Finding the right fit - For optimum levels of buoyancy, the vest should fit correctly, nice and close to baby's skin so it doesn't ride up. To find the perfect fit, it's a good idea to measure your child's waist and chest circumference against the size guide.

Straps and fastenings - It's a good idea to choose a swim vest with a strap over the zip so baby can't unzip their vest themselves.

Level of buoyancy - These vests are designed to add to your child's natural level of buoyancy. Many also feature removable floats so you can gradually remove them as your tot becomes more confident in the water.

Comfort - Choose a swim vest made from soft neoprene fabric. Not only will this provide an extra layer of warmth in cooler water but the soft fabric will also prevent any chafing on the arms as the material is so soft.

Will a swim vest help my toddler learn to swim?

Aine Hanley explains, "Swim vests are a great way to help a child feel more buoyant and confident to splash and play in the water. If your child is nervous they can be a great tool to help them take those first steps and splashes into the pool - but a child in a swim vest must always be in arms reach of an adult as they are not life jackets."

It's worth noting that, while swim vests are helpful when you're playing around at the pool, toddlers and children won't have a swim aid during swimming lessons. "When it's time to learn to swim, at Water Babies, we teach without swim vests or armbands. This way babies and children learn how their body feels in the water and how to float and move through the water naturally. It is really important to teach all babies and children how to be safe around water without buoyancy aids as you never know when an accident will happen."

Swim vests vs Armbands

Armbands are another floatation device that can be used with small children. However, as Aine notes, they aren't ideal for learning to swim. "While armbands provide buoyancy they do so by holding your child in an unnatural vertical position."

"Float jackets and swim vests are the preferred option for helping toddlers and children to enjoy the water as they learn to swim. Perfectly balanced to hold your little one in the correct learn-to-swim position, they provide peace of mind while promoting water confidence and allow them to use their arms freely for some splashing fun!"

Choosing the right swim vest for your baby

As previously mentioned, a swim vest is not suitable for a young baby. However, it is a fantastic option for an older baby, infant, or toddler. You should always check the age and weight specifications of the vest before purchasing. An ill-fitted swim vest can be dangerous, as it may rise or flip the baby over in the water.

We recommend only buying a swim vest from a reputable retailer. It is a good idea to opt for a swim vest which has been certified by the EU CE Certification as these have been tested as a safe buoyancy aid for children.

As tempting as it may seem, don't pick a swim vest because it has lots of buckles and zips. Although it may look like it offers more safety, this isn't always the case. Ensure that you are confident in how your child's swim vest is installed. We all know toddlers don't like waiting around. However, you may find that swim vests with adjustable straps are a good option as they can grow with your child.

Swim vest vs life jacket

Life jackets are designed to keep a person's head above the water to prevent drowning.

Swim vests are designed to be a swimming aid to help little ones gain confidence in the water and learn to swim. It makes it easier to float but will not prevent drowning so they must still be closely attended to at all times.

Remember, swim vests are not life jackets, and they are not life-saving floatation devices, so they should never be used in replacement of an adult in the water. While your child is still learning to swim, you should always make sure an adult is supervising them in the water.
