my child is 1.5 years 20 pounds and I want to introduce her to swimming...i am not sure if the medium size will be good for her?

Medium should fit perfect and allow her some time to grow into it. Our daughter was almost two when we purchased and around 23lbs and she used it right away. She still has more growing room. You should be fine.

My son is 45 lbs. and the Large size did not fit him, although they are supposed to fit 45 lbs - 60 lbs. so i returned the product

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...

I bought the medium size for my 4 year old who is 36lbs. It fit him well with some room to grow. It may be way too big for your 1.5 year old. I hope this helps.

Yes it should! My Granddaughter was a little older than that but she is petite ..... She loves it and swims all over the pool! It's so much better than floaties and it's nice not to have to worry about her while we are at the pool!

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!

Please help me with the size issue? my 8 yr old is 120 lbs at about 52 inches with a big belly. He loves the water, he's autistic and intellectually challenged and incontinent. We spend a lot of time in indoor pool all winter, sometimes the water is cold for him after being in the pool for a couple hours. I looking for something warm and comfortable. Than you, Aiden's dad

I believe you are talking child size 12. With that in mind I would suggest ex small or small. It is ok to wear a little big they move smoothly threw the water even when big. I am a swimmer not a sales person I could be wrong. Check with sport stores and see if they carry fins that she could try on. good luck. They do help adults and children.

The Speedo website has a sizing chart for gloves. Can't remember if they had the kid's sizes. Check it out. Best bet for a proper fit. I got the medium and feel they run a little small but not enough to return. They do sell kids gloves if you are set on Speedos. Hope I was of some help.

I have bought the medium size for my 15 year old daughter and they were loose a lot, she is 5' - 9" and weight 148 pounds and it tends to slip within her arm when she is sparring, i should have bought a small, hope this would help.

It might be a little big. I used it for mine that was about that weight. It slid down when she was not completely in the water. But when she was completely in the water and swimming around, it worked well and it gave her confidence to swim. She used it last year when she was just 20-21 lbs. She is now about 30lbs and used it this past month on vacation too. Great product. She jumps right not the water on her own when wearing it.

I would probably stick with the x-small, she is not that big. If her wrists were big for her size, then maybe consider small. There is such a large weight range in the small size (most kids ave 10lbs a year) Colleen

We have a golden retriever who weighs about the same but is taller. The large is a little big but she is only a year old. I thought the medium would be a little small. If the dog is going to grow another 10-20 pounds I would get the large. The life jacket is a great product.

By the way you may also consider about the body, my daughter has 17kgs, she is just fit the body, I think below 20kgs is ok, or it will be very tight.

I loved ours but at 20 lbs he is likely to only fit in it a very short time. I watch a 20lb 8 month old and it is a little small now. My 21 lb daughter out grew it at 18 lbs and 28 inches. Since they dont make a 9 or 12 month version i invested in a winter bundting, it was a great transition suit. It keeps her warm and still muffles some movement.

yes, my granddaughter weights about 37 lbs and will be 5 in Oct. Oh it will fit her because it is adjustable and the chest. My granddaughter loves her puddle jumper. And my 16 month old almost fits in his. Yes, good buy, at least you will feel safe. Happy swimming.

Hello Ann. I entered to the speedo website and with the reference you find the item and size chart, when first I bought the small, now he is almost four and we got the medium, it can not be loose...he is 35 pounds now. I hope it helps you. Www.speedo.com

The medium is for 15-22lbs and the openings are snug so I would probably just get the medium because she will probably grow out of a small pretty fast.

I have only had experience with the small and the medium, but I can say that our grandson is 5 and about 43-45 lbs. and fits perfectly in the medium. Next summer I feel certain we will need large. Hope it helps.

We bought an adult XS when my daughter was 10yrs old average size. My son, now 12, 57" and 70lbs still uses it 7 years later. It was very big on my daughter but mom used it when our daughter was in the pool on the cold days of races in early spring. I would by a size up so she can use it for several years over her full warm-ups and uggs. It will be long but zips from both ends to allow walking. She may look like a Jawa from Star Wars but she'll be comfy

I have a 42lb Dalmatian. I got the extra small for her and it has room to spare. If I remember correctly she was right on the line too. I would put my money on the medium.

I agree with Rebecca... unless your child is a confident swimmer I wouldn't buy this. They lose some control because their feet are bound together. And either way, never over their heads with this on.
