Does anyone know if those bathing suits with the built in jacket (havent
seen it yet) are legal flotation devices for kids under 13? NC has a law
(could be US wide but I only know about NC) that says anyone under 13
must
wear a jacket at all times except when moored, sitting etc.

I just want to make sure they are legit so I dont get a ticket ( I do
have
the legit ones as well but my daughter in law insits that hers are ok..

They have to be clearly marked as type accepted. If they aren't, then
they aren't legal.

Nope, it must be listed as a type I-IV PFD.

Don't count on the bathing suit saving your kids from possibly drowning.
