will these work for 8-9 yr olds?

Absolutely. We use for Kindergarten-small adults. They are fitted enough not to fall off little ones but big enough to fit people up to about 120 lbs.

It really depends on the child. I would say for the average 3 year old yes. My daughter is very tall for her age so they were a bit small.

I think it would be great for an 8 y.o. boy. These are definitely not toys. They are real tools. I (the mom) actually use them when I need a tool. They are very functional and a great size for kids.

They are a bit too big for my 3, 4 and 5 yr. olds, but I would GUESS they would fit a 9 yr. old

i would imagine the only issues would be the size not fitting tightly enough to be effective, and the child removing them. so, you could certainly try them. i dont remember what age my son was when we started using them. but i didnt now about the ages 3 and up part, so it might have been before then. i just cant remember!

Yes, these would be perfect. We have a very tall 9 and 7 year old. They handle them very well. They are so stable they can stand on them, and get on and off the back. Yet they also move through the water well. We love their design. Not great for really cold (Alaska) water, since they are sit-on-top, but for lakes and rivers in the summer they are perfect.

I think they will fit. I used them on my one year old Grandson. Very soft, much better then the plastic ones. You just can't be sure of the color you will receive.

Probably, but they may be a bit big. We bouoght them when my daughter was 1, and by the time she was 2, they were a bit small but still wearable.

Yes they will be. We thought they would work for our 7 year old but they are just too big. They work awesome on our 10 year old. Love the shoes and the poles though I would highly recommend the brand for bigger kids. Hope that helps.

Maybe, depending on your baby. try these first, if they dont work now, they will work in a few more months and last for years to come. If they dont end up working, and you really need protection, try an infant set. I wonder if they are referring to 13 months and up, because they work great for kids under 13 years!?

My son is nine and they fit him pretty well. They may fit an adult with a small head. Otherwise, i'd say "no".

Yes, they should fit a 9 year old. I purchased several for kids ranging from 5 to 10, they were to big for the smaller kids, but seemed to fit the others fine..

Yes!!! Probably better for 8 year old. My nephew is only 5, but he does very well with it.

No, I dont think so. I suppose it depends on the child though. I got these for my 3yr old nephew. He loved them & took to it fast.

I doubt it. I bought these for my 3 year old, and she is almost out of them.

We got the 8" ones for our daughter's preschool. The kids are all 2-5 years old. They seem to work fine but might be a little big for the smaller kids. They grow into them eventually. It's been about a year and they are still working.

I bought these for eight year olds and they fit perfectly. I would be hesitant to purchase them for younger kids.
