For school my 30 month son needs a disposable with a reusable swim diaper over it AND swim trunks. He is 30lbs. Should I get the 3T?

I would guess yes to the 3T because it sounds like he will have a disposable diaper under. My son is almost 40lbs and the 3T fits well.

These are intended for newborn and up. Our son was so small (born under 7 pounds) and we didn't start using them until 6 weeks old. Honesty, all the diapers we had were intended for newborn and up (one size fits all) but with all the folding over, the diapers were all too bulky. He looked ridiculous. I understood later why some people buy the infant ones for the beginning or just use disposable for the a few weeks.

We bought the medium for our 3-year old who is now 35lbs.Personally, I don't think this vest is suited for someone so young and just learning to get in the water. I would look more for something with inflatables to keep her head and chest above the water. This type of vest requires effort on their part to stay upright. Just my opinion...

Hello hope all is well. I bought this for my then 15 month old boy. Now is 24 month old and still fit nicely. Only one thing with the front tray is to not use lot of clothing that can squish the legs. If is a big boy I suggest to not put the tray but to snack. Its not heavy and to fold it needs practice but in general it worth the price. Two position for child to sleep and canopy that doesnt bother him at all.

Yes.. You should go with that size. It will be baggy around the body which it's supposed to be but around the ankles is where it might be a bit big but not overwhelming. My daughter was 30lbs so I bought the 4-5T and although a little big it's perfect in all aspects. My daughter hates covers on her feet so this was the perfect solution. You can have your little one wear socks or not, its great for summer and winter months. Hope this helps.

My little guy is 7.5 months old and we had him in the Large about three months ago. It was big but it was still effective and he didn't mind sleeping in it! It wasn't a magical experience as he still is up every two hours to nurse (no fault of the sleep suit of course!) but it REALLY did help with the amount of jerking movements that would wake him up. He is 18lbs and 28 inches and the large still fits his body but his arms and legs have grown out of the length of the sleeves (poor boy goes to bed in high waters but we are still using the sleep suit ;)!!!! So if you want a snug fit go with the smaller size! Hope my babble helps!

I would say "yes" if your child is petite. My little girl is 2 and I bought a 3T and fit her perfectly. But she is chubby in the thighs and tall. You could also check the size chart to see what is says too. But I would get the next size up for room kids are pretty active. My daughter wears hers all the time.

I would think so. I was buying it for a 3T small child and it was really big on her.

I would guess a size 3 would work well but buying a 3 and/or 4 and trying it is the best way to find out, and return the one you don't take of keep them both if the 3 fits and you have the 4 for when he grows into it. Otherwise return both, but the other answers are correct to look at the O'Neill site and make sure the height is right. If it is too loose it will let cold water in and circulate, if it is too tight it will be very painful and useless. It is a great wetsuit for the toddlers, best I ever saw. BD

The large would be your best fit for a while (it still fits my 32" son) but the XL won't be too huge if you want to use it for even longer. My son can't walk in it too easily but it's not for walking, it's for sleeping!

I bought the 30 this past Christmas for my 6 yr old, it fits nicely now but was slightly large for her. I think it should be great :)

Your son is longer than my daughter (25 inches) but weighs the same. I think the length would force you to move to the next size quickly. I would probably go with the next size.

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!

My 3 year old fits great, but I think it may be a little tight for him as he gets older. He's 30 lbs and 35 in tall.

Medium might be a little big on him. I think it starts at 33 lbs. Please be aware, this is not a flotation device. My son wore his and he went straight under water. We got rid of it. I think it's more for kids who can already swim.

I would follow the measurements on the sizing chart. My son is normally a 3T but according to the sizing chart his measurements indicated we needed a 4T. I'm glad I measured because the 4T fit perfect.
