Can I use it on my 9 moth old? He weighs 20 lbs. he loves to waddle in the pool and this is perfect for him.

The recommended weight is 30-50 lbs.. However my little girl weighs about 20 lbs and does fantastic with it!! I love this puddle jumper, we use it about every weekend. Her arms are secure enough that she can't easily pull them loose herself. I would highly recommend this product! We sure have enjoyed it!! So, my answer is "yes!! I believe this would work for your little one!!"

Probably not, unless he's a rather large 9 month old. The back strap can only be adjusted so much. If you can't get it tight enough, I think the chest part would ride up into his neck. I tried one of these on my son when he was under 30lbs and it wouldn't work :(

No, it is for 30 lbs or more. Just a tad young, sorry. My grandchild is 3 and 30 or so lbs.

I'm not sure,but we had kids almost 100lbs sliding on it with no problem. Where we went wrong was letting them pull it into the pool. It sounded innocent enough, except when the heavier kids started trying to climb out of the water onto the ladder part their entire weight was pulling on plastic seams. Once the ladder portion had a hole in it, we had ourselves a really odd pool float. I think if you buy this for kids up to 10 years old you'll be fine. Not to take money out of Amazon's wallet, but I have seen this same slide at Walmart.

Absolutely. I purchased it for my daughter when she was 9. Now she is 10 years old and about 70 pounds and still usies it regularly. Great purchase. Enjoy!

I'm not where I can measure the pool right now, but it would be perfect for a 17 pound dog!!! I own a doggie daycare and we use it for the smaller dogs. They love it!

My dog was only 10 pounds and it was perfect for him. I do believe by looking and putting a little pressure on it, I would not use it if my dog weighed more than 25 pounds. Hope this helps.

No way. These are not meant to be used for little babies. They are intended for older kids who are learning to swim. If you feel you need something, use a life preserver. I don't think a puddle jumper is appropriate for an 9-month-old either...the minimum weight on that is 30 lbs.

It really depends...if your son is a toddler like mine then I would say yes...I added a small slide to mine and my son had no problem sliding down it...oh and I added a blanket under the pool for soft landing...I think your idea would work...

My daughter is also 2.5, 36 lbs and the same height, and as my review stated this product gave her a horrible front and back wedgie. Not sure if this is an issue for boys but I would think it might be. We did let out all the "slack" in the strap between the legs but that did not alleviate the wedgie at all. Hope this info is helpful.

I don't think so...I'm a lot older than 9 and it did not fit me snuggly and came off while swimming.

My son was able to play in his until well into his mid 20lbs and he is a big fellow too for his age. He pretty much used it until he started walking at 9 months.

It's not considered a life saving device, just a "tool" to assist in learning to swim. Not sure on the weight limit, mine are used on preschool aged children. Don't think it would work at all on a large child or adult.

I would never use a weight training vest such as this one for swimming. For one it is dangerous to have any excess weight on yourself when in a pool of water even with proper supervision. If you want to get the maximum benefit from this product, stick to using it for walking, jogging, hiking and running though adjust the weight accordingly. You don't want to exceed 15-20 lbs for running/jogging but start out slow with the weight for walking/hiking as you'll feel it in your quads, traps and hamstrings.

It may be a little bit big for her; you may have to hold her under her seat to keep her above the water just right. However, I do think you could definitely enjoy using it with her as it provides a place for her to float and play, and it will give her some much-needed shade. She will also be able to grow into it!

Sorry, I'm not sure, our daughter is only 18 pounds, but it works great for her. I would recommend looking at a floaty with a bigger tube.

Look at a Puddle Jumper. I put my son in that when he was 20 months, and it worked great for about 2 years. I'd keep in in one now, but he's stocky, and out grew it. Google Puddle Jumper, and watch the videos of the little one's swimming. It works great!

It will fit him, however I found it made my daughter too top heavy and she tipped over more! The inflatable part needs to be under their arms/on their chest and it's really on their waist. I wouldn't use this for him.

I'm not sure what the official product weight limit is, but my son used it last year to help him swim and he was 48 pounds last summer. Hope that helps.
