My son was 22 months and about 26lbs when he first used this. It was a little big on him. But still worked great.

my daughter is 2 years old and about same weight but shes on the taller side it was a little lose on her but worked fantastic at the hotel pools.Hope this helps. There is an adjustment we have it set the smallest it will go

Yes, it will have room for growth but will work. My son uses and he's 25 pounds. It's great to have. Very helpful.

I believe the product is made for children starting at 30 lbs, so I would use with caution. You could get it and see how snugly it fits to be sure. If it's too big you could just wait several months and try it again.

how did it work on your 18 month old? Mine is 16, 25lbs. was wondering if it would work. He's always in the water and loves water....

I would say yes if s/he is already comfortable in the water and quite strong. But for most 18 month olds I would say no. Id try something like this Swim School Aqua Tot Trainer

I have a 19 month old that weighs 23lbs. We tried on a friend's Puddle Jumper and it fit a little loose but it still help him float and enjoy himself. Off course, you need to keep a constant eye on your child even with a life vest. I don't think it will fall off, my child is on the slim side and it did not slide off his arms.

It would not be comfortable for two at a time. My daughter is 24lbs right now at 14 months and she needs all the room. Even at 12 months she still needed the whole inflatable tub.

My daughter is just 4 months old. It's lightweight and I don't see how it would be bad for a child of any age.

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.

They were great for a four year old who is very comfortable in the water. Eighteen months is young but if he/she is comfortable in the water I would think these would be good to have for now and the future. Our 15 month old had a good time in one of the floats with a seat but he was really just floating happily - not trying to swim.

It's pretty small but it's great for babies and toddlers, maybe 3 little ones but that might be a bit crowded. One side has like steps in it so the pool floor is not completely flat. Very sturdy too.

I think it depends less on age and more on size/weight. At a certain point, a float is going to be unstable if the child is bigger than it's rated for.

I haven't used it for a pool yet but I would definitely if it wasn't holding sand. Its very durable and would be much better then one of the flimsy blue pools. And with the two little seats they could just soak their feet and play if they didnt wanna get wet

Not at all. We got it for my daughter's first birthday party. We had her, her cousin who's 4 months older, a two year old, and a three year old. They all had a blast. As with any pool, you'll want to help him/her on the slide and with the toys. The water filled to about 2.5 inches in the bottom of te pool and about 4 inches in the wading pool behind the slide.

I used it this summer for my two year old that weighed around 30-32 lbs and he just lounged in it. My sister also used it for her daughter that was a year and weighed around 26 lbs. it worked for both of them pretty well. Best floatie I've had by far!!! The seat goes under the water so it's not a balancing act they can sit comfortably.

Yes, my daughter is 2.5yrs and 20lbs and this made a HUGE difference in her being warm enough for indoor 30min swim and plus longer. She doesn't complain about being too hot, even after a quick dip in the "hot" tub after class.

No, it's not , I would say its perfect 9 months - 18 months, and for 2 year old and up it is kind of small . It works for the beach well, if you don't mind taking it to the beach. But my my 2.5 year old is really tall for his age, so maybe I just judge based on that. Again that is my personal opinion ,based on my experience with it.

I think so. We use it as a tub every night for our son (in a stand up shower stall) and he's quite comfortable. He's almost 3 & 37 lbs, so also a big kid. It's similar in size/quality to his old ball pit. Never thought to buy a pool for that use but great idea!

we have a super little guy 3lbs, and he swims in it, I think it would be a great fit for 7 lbs...no larger though

Yes, absolutely! We still travel and use this vest for our 4 years old (~35lbs) daughter.

This will definitely work for you. My boy is 48in and about 44 pounds. And we spend a week in NY and that was all I used.

Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds. We use the RNP and aren't sure how much longer we will be able to use it. It only goes up to 25 pounds, but your child could outgrow it for length. We still have some head room, but we are thinking he will have transition by the end of August as we use this for his primary sleeping space due to acid reflux. So, you might be cutting it close if you decided to get it. Also, it travels VERY easily! We have taken it on many trips. It breaks down into a few pieces and could fit into a large suitcase. Have you looked at using a peapod?? KidCo PeaPod Portable Travel Bed with Air Pump - Red In any case, have a great time on your trip!
