Are you asking about the size? The top part that comes over the shoulders is pretty generic. My daughter is 3, 36inches tall and 34lbs and this fits her well. It may be loose on your daughter. The strap that goes between the legs is adjustable and you can tighten that up a lot to account for the height. But she may not fill out the tube that well and slide around inside of it.

I think you should try the Aqua Tot - especially since she's been doing lessons. My daughter is similar in height/weight and it worked perfectly for her so she can move around more than if she was in an inflatable.

I would imagine there is a weight limit. My daughter is about 25 and almost 2 and it seems like it is starting to get a little small for her. We haven't gotten to try it in a pool or lake this summer yet.

My gradnson almost 3 used it but we never left him alone. I cannot assure you the life jacket will keep your daughter floating on her back with her head out of the water. But I can say the life jacket is of excellent quality.I have to warn you because in the case of my grandson he kept "unbuttoning it" which is something your less than 2 years old might not do.I suggested on my review to the manufacturer to close the jacket on the back to avoid children opening it easily or think of a safer way to close it.

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...

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!

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!

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.

My daughter who just turned 2 was that weight and I got an extra small. It fit snugly but be careful for some reason my daughter kept falling over face first but it is too cute. If that happens try the arm floats, they work really well for us

This alligator shown is hard plastic and about 12" long. He was a gift for my young grandson for Christmas. The babies on her back are not removable. This is not inflatable and would probably not float. I do not know of one that will.

Not overly restrictive. I think it's fine for snorkeling. I'm not sure how old your child is but it will help them float on stomach or back.

I don't think it's big enough for swimming, even for a 1-month old. My 1 year old can sit in it comfortably, but cannot lay in it at all.

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.

Whatever age your little one can safely play with toys in the tub. I'd make sure your child can sit unsupported, but always supervised.

I think so, but I'm not sure a 2 yr old will want to be in it unless they're new to pools. My son is 17 months and didnt want anything to do with it this year because he had already been in the pool without any floatation device (shallow kiddie pools and on the steps of the regular pool) so he wasn't interested in the restricted freedom. Last year, however, he was in this every time he went in the pool and loved it.

Hi. I don't realy think its a weight question, cause it would more depend on the whole child's body. My kid is skinny , so her arms r sliding out, but it fills ok around her body. She is now 14 mo and still skinny.she wears 12-18 mo bodysuits. I don't want to b wrong, we ve tried it only at home in the bath tub, may b if you use it in the swimming pool it might work well. We just haven't gone to the pool lately due to the weather issue.I hope it will help.

My Grandaughter will be five months on the 21st of January and she likes this, but I wouldn't leave her unattended in it. The toys that are attached are age appropriate and the green knobs that are on it you canuse to attach other toys that the baby likes. It give the child a different perspevtive. Lucy is 14 and a half pounds now and over 27 inches in length. Hope that helps.

No way. These are not meant to be used for little babies. They are intended for older kids who are learning to swim. If you feel you need something, use a life preserver. I don't think a puddle jumper is appropriate for an 9-month-old either...the minimum weight on that is 30 lbs.
