Will the 31 inch work well for an 8 1/2 year old? I measured him and the 31 in mark was a little above his waist,the 31 inch is the only one available

31 inch is probably a little long for an 8-1/2 year old, but it's really more of a matter of the length/weight ratio, and what he is comfortable swinging. My son didn't move to a 30 inch size bat until he was 10, and just started using 31 inch this past year.

From what the "experts" say, 31 inch bats are suited better for the 11-12 year old players. That is considering they are average weight and height. Even if your son was a little above average for his age group I would consider something a little shorter. I think a 29" would be as long as I would go for his age. A good test would be to visit a sports store with similar weight/length bats and have him test his swing, grip, and stance. The good thing about this particular bat is that is extremely light for its size but I still think a 31" would be a bit much. Good luck

That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions. What size and weight is your son using currently? If he's swinging say a 30 or 29, is it really light for him? If not, I would buy the correct size elsewhere instead of getting a better price and having to put chokes on the grip. I err on the smaller size. I see a lot of parents buy big to save money or in hopes for them to hit harder. I like to keep the correct size or in my case, I bought smaller than I wanted to because of the better deal here. Its the form that counts but if you go bigger, it could hurt more than help the form. Just my $0.02 That seems a little big IMO. But here would be some of my questions.

My son is 35 inches and 31 pounds (off the charts for a 17 month old) and he fits just fine.

I bought it for an average size 7-8 year old. Would depend on your boys size

I would go to the Triple 8 website, once there look under product and you will find a chart with directions on how to get the best fit for your child. I measured both of my childrens head circumference and bought the size recommended and both fit perfectly. If your child's head circumference is between 20.10-20.50 inches then XS size would work.

My son is 7. He is 4 ft 1 in, and it is cinched down to its smallest size. It works well for him, but it will probably work fie him for awhile. I would guess that he could grow a good 8 inches or so and still use this set.

Based on his height the bike may be a bit small for him. A better indicator would be to measure his inseam and see where he falls within the sizing I've listed below. Inseam 14-17 inches: 12 inch Bike Inseam 16-20 inches: 14 inch Bike Inseam 18-22 inches: 16 inch Bike Inseam 20-24 inches: 18 inch Bike

Well his size is a ''8-9years'', or a ''0'' on a gi size chart. Which is three sizes below a small. Get the smallest one, he'll have grow into it.

Maybe the small, but I use medium. You might want to check children's shingurads because unless he has very long legs he may be too small for a small.

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.

One of my two year olds is 36lbs and 36in tall. It fits him. I would like for there to be more room to grow, but it should fit for a while. I've thought about adding to it myself to make it bigger. It wouldn't be that hard. I think these were worth the money. I hope this helped. :)

I truly suggest measuring and use the guide. It worked perfect for my daughter. Good luck.

My daughter is also 2.5, 36 lbs and the same height, and as my review stated this product gave her a horrible front and back wedgie. Not sure if this is an issue for boys but I would think it might be. We did let out all the "slack" in the strap between the legs but that did not alleviate the wedgie at all. Hope this info is helpful.

My two and a half year old son who is very tall for his age (90th percentile) is still fitting in fine, but I suspect he will outgrow it in not too distant future. It really is an amazing buggy though and we sure will be using when we have our next one.

I would buy this one. I was in the same situation as you and decided he would only get bigger. He would outgrow the small ones within months. The youth ones are quite a bit smaller. My son's friends have the youth ones and they like my son's better. Good luck:)

My son is 10/12 and it works perfectly for him. Not sure of his height, but he weighs about 80 pounds.

I would recommend 21 or 22 inches. When i was looking for my boys i investigated sizes and i remember that for 5-8 normally thats the size used. Hope this helps

I have a standard poodle. He measures 31" do you mind telling me what size you got for your pup. 30-31'' fits in both the large and extra large range. I would appreciate some advice. THanks so much
