I have a small size 3 grandson. Could the vest be easily altered?

When you first get it, if it seems a bit small you can adjust it with the Velcro straps. I would say possibly.

Sheryl, this vest is really small. However, an XL size I think will give your grandson a couple of years of good use. Remember also, you don't go wrong with Amazon; you can return it easily and order a bigger size . :) I hope your grandson will enjoy.

You can make them adjustable and it is very easy. You can even adjust them to each kid if they switch belts. The connectors act just like the ones you see on kids backpacks. It is difficult to explain to you how to loop the belt thru it so I strongly suggest you just a kids backpack to see how it was done. These are a little bit big if you are talking about using them on 6 yr olds or younger, but if you are talking about making a tool belt for an older kid, they are the perfect size. Just make sure you get the right belt thickness.

Nope. I just tried it on my 3.5yr old son, he's bigger than the "average" 3yr old, but it still wouldn't fit a 3yr old.

Yes, it can be adjusted to a smaller size, you just cut the filter material and webbing to size with scissors or snips. For the smaller sizes though, you may have to drill new holes in the plastic frame channels. The push-pins go through those holes to hold the frame at the desired size, and the pre-punched holes only go down to the 14x20.

yes it has 3 ajustments, also if you push the adjuster in and let it bottom out it will fit him sooner. that's what we did. 3mon he was walking in it now he is 10 mon and still loves it

I would get a large which will be a little big for him or her but they will grow into it less quickly than they will grow out of a medium. You can always have your child wear a t-shirt under the vest if it is a little big as well.

You can do it easily with some one to two inch foam, but my daughter is not replacing hers. The baby is only there a couple of minutes. We did make some extra covers, with button holes for the safety straps.

I would say yes unless it is a large 4 year old. It stretches to fit adults but I'd say the smallest child who could wear it would have to be 5 or 6.

Oh Sure we can do that. :) Just use the "contact seller" and email the request, AFTER the order is placed, and I will adjust the size without the "That's what little boys are made of" .. Once the order is placed, It's easier for me to know what order need's the customization to others that don't :) Thank you, Laurie

I can't answer that, not knowing the size of your son. It is just a tad big on my 6 year old grandson, but he is a tad smaller than average.

I purchased a small vest for a 6 year old boy of average height and wt and it fits perfectly....if that is any help to you.

I think it would be to small for a 13 month old mine is now 16 months and he could not wear it.

You would have to really work to modify it. I would not recommend as it is a touch wobbly and little ones tend to wiggle.

You can change his clothes, but it's hard to find "boy doll" clothes anywhere. He does not stand up, but you can prop him into a sitting position.

From looking at it, I can't give you a definitive answer, Cheryl, but I think it might be a bit problematic to change the width. If you're very handy, you might be able to do it, but I think I'd counsel caution. Several steps would be involved, and several things would need to be cut to size, and then re-fitted.
