My son is 13.5 months, 32" and 21.5lbs - he won't go in the baby float any more - will this work? He loves to jump in and go back to edge now w/help.

I have a almost 3 year which works perfect for him except the strap imbetween the legs don't have much to grow but he loves it I also have a 15 month old and I haven't tried it with him yet but might work but my 15 month os only 20 lbs so might work with your son I'd def try it if he loves swimming freely it dodnt tip not even once for us and my son was all over in it splashing if any thing he would def grow into it quick def recommend it over a puddle jumper or whatever there called this seems to help keep there head out of the water no problem even when leaning forward

It did not fit well to loose for my granddaughter she was 11 months last year. I had one before for my niece the inner tube blew up with a air pump and it was all one piece looked like a little swim suit with a inner tube in it that worked well she floated all around the lake. This one the inner tube is to big around not a snug fit and the suit kept falling off her shoulders. It seems to be for an older child that can hold on to the tube and jump. Have not tried this year (lake is still froze ) she was only 16lbs last year weight could be a key factor. I did buy her a puddle jumper this year I know those work very well for kids who love the water and they are coast guard approved.

You will love it. my nephew was about that age maybe a few months older when we got it for him, it was a little big in the sholders but we just tightened the stap and he was good to go. We tried a few diffrent ones but we liked this one best it holds him streight he is not top heavy so he float upright. He loves the freedom to be able to swim by himself there is no stopping him he now jumps in the pool and goes under and pops up laughing. he will be 3 in June and still wears it.

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.

What the others said. My dd is 13 lbs at 6 months and still fits in it fine, but I have to use it with a lot more supervision now that she can sit up on her own. LOVE this thing. It makes life SO much easier.

Depends on how tall your child is. My son was 25" tall when we got this, so he had no issue with his head being above the water. Your main concern is where is the water line going to be when you set your baby down in the seat.

I used this float from age 12mo until baby could swim (about 3yrs). Leg holes were tight by then too

I doubt he will out grow it, The jumperoo has been a life saver for our twins when we need to get something donwe. They love to jump, I can not believe hard hard and fast they go. !! they are now 8 months, 24 pounds and 31 inches long. we still have it set at the lowest level. your baby will love a jumperoo. BUT, I did return the one, shown here, because it was NOT stable. at all. We got the RainForrest, and the Laugh andlLearn. Both are great. I think the Laugh and lLearn has more for a child that is older, so the 5 month will love it now, and not out grow it,for a while.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

In my experience, I wouldn't suggest this for a child so young. Look for a vest or suit that will keep them afloat or a ring that goes in the pool.

My daughter was 8 months old and sitting up when we used this. If your child cannot sit up on their own I might be concerned as this float does not have straps to hold the child in position. I hope that helps!

The float is currently packed up with all the beach gear in the attic. In my opinion this is a great first float for a baby. The first time my son used it he was 10 months (he is chunky... 75% in height and weight) and it supported him well. I expect we will be using it again this coming summer.

My 20 month olds are 23 pounds and have both pulled themselves up onto the table and it never budged. We use it outside and they will take turns to lie down in the water. I watch them do it and I know the feet of the table have never left the ground.

We've been riding 3-5 times a week for about 6 weeks. He hasn't complained about the seat, so I assume he's fine. I give him a little warning before we hit a bump so he's aware/not surprised. He's so far never come even close to falling off. He just turned 3.5.

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...

My son was about 16 months when he was in this for the first time. He could not reach over and put his hands fully in the water or get out of the float. The baby sits in the float and his legs will be in the water. However he could freely move his hands and play, he may be able to reach over and put his fingers in on the sides.

It would definitely work for him! My oldest is over 60lbs and it works well for him. (In fact..I can jump on it at 115lbs without a problem!) It's fun...even for me!

Yes, if your child is tiny. Otherwise, I'd say it is more suited for 1-2 year olds. More of a baby float.

my baby boy is 7 months old and we just had to put the fisher price nature's touch swing in the basement and retire it... he's sitting up now and would try to reach up and touch the rotating animals and leaves at the top of the mobile area - he would also use his stomach muscles to tryto pull himself upwards and out of the swing. so i think once your baby is big enough to sit up, then you've outgrown the usefulness of a swing. my son was 17 pounds when we retired his swing and i was getting nervous with him in it (even though he was always strapped in) that something could go wrong...
