Mambobaby™ in Action: Experience the Joy 🌊 📹
A non-inflatable chest float for babies from 3 to 24 months. Solid foam inside, so there is no pump, no valve and nothing to blow up before you leave the house — the Shark float comes out of the bag ready for the water.
Air-free foam core
A solid core rather than an air chamber. There is no valve to leak and nothing to inflate, so it is ready the moment you unpack it.
Removable UPF 50+ canopy
Clips on for the beach and off for an indoor pool. The mesh window means you stay in sight while baby is shaded.
Weighted stability tail
Clips to the back and helps the float sit level in the water rather than tipping forward.
Adjustable harness
Straps across the shoulders, chest and crotch, with a double-lock buckle. Check every strap before the water.
The fin doubles as the weighted stability tail.
Will it fit your baby?
Go by weight first and age second. Babies grow at their own pace, and weight is the reliable guide.
| Age | 3 – 24 months |
|---|---|
| Weight | 6 – 18 kg |
| Chest | up to 52 cm, adjustable |
Fasten the harness so it is snug but not tight — you should be able to slide two fingers between the strap and your baby's chest. If your baby is under the weight range, they are not ready for this float yet.
Two ways to use it
On the tummy, from about 6 months. Baby rests on the chest pad with arms over the front, free to paddle and reach.
On the back, from about 3 months. Younger babies float on their back with the headrest supporting the head, which suits babies who do not yet have strong head control on their front.
Fit the canopy for outdoor use and take it off for indoor pools. The tail clips on and off the same way.

- Check every harness strap and the buckle before every use.
- Use only within the stated age and weight range.
- Stop use immediately if your baby shows any sign of discomfort.
- Not for use in open water, surf, or moving water.
- If your baby was born prematurely, or has any medical condition affecting posture, breathing or muscle tone, speak to your health professional before use.
Questions parents ask
Does it need inflating?
No. The core is solid foam, so there is no pump, no valve and nothing to blow up. It works straight out of the bag.
Why pay more than a $20–40 inflatable ring?
An inflatable holds air. That means a valve, seams, a pump to carry, and a swim that ends if it goes down. This float has a solid foam core instead, so there is nothing to inflate. It also adds an adjustable harness across the shoulders, chest and crotch, a weighted tail that helps it sit level, and a removable UPF 50+ canopy — none of which a ring has. That is what you are paying the difference for.
Is it an approved life jacket?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. It is a swimming aid for use with an adult within arm's reach, and it does not protect against drowning. Baby floats of this type are not sold as approved personal flotation devices in Australia. If you need a device rated to save a life, buy a PFD certified to the relevant Australian standard — not a float.
Will my baby tip forward in it?
The weighted tail clips to the back and is there for exactly this — it helps the float sit level rather than nose-down. Fasten every harness strap before the water, and keep a hand near for the first few minutes until you have seen how your baby sits in it.
My baby is 3 months but small for their age — can they use it?
Go by weight, not age. If they are under 6 kg the harness will not hold them securely enough, so wait.
What is the difference between the designs?
The print and the colour. Every chest float in our range shares the same solid foam core, adjustable harness, removable UPF 50+ canopy and weighted tail, and the same 3–24 month, 6–18 kg range. Choose the one your child will be pleased to see.
Can I use it without the canopy?
Yes. The canopy clips off in seconds for indoor pools or cloudy days, and the float works exactly the same without it.
Is it suitable for the beach?
For calm, shallow water with an adult beside your baby, yes. It is not for surf or anywhere with current.
Does salt water or chlorine damage it?
Not if you rinse it. Fresh water after every swim, then dry it flat in the shade. Salt and chlorine left to dry on the fabric are what age it.
How do I clean and store it?
Rinse in fresh water after every swim, especially after salt water or chlorine, and dry flat in the shade. Storing it damp or in direct sun is what shortens its life.
How long does delivery take?
Free delivery across Australia. Dispatched in 1–2 business days, then 5–6 business days, tracked.
What if it does not fit when it arrives?
14-day returns, and a 2-year warranty — both handled here in Australia. Try the harness on dry land first, before any swim, so you can send it back unused if the fit is wrong.
