Trouble getting a belt to fit my skinny son with kyphoscoliosis; the Aquajogger keeps riding up and the belt does not stay tight. Will this work?

It does ride up some. But the belt is adjustable and has sufficient length .

I was able to pull it tight enough where it would stay at their waist. However, the strap was long so we have to wrap it around several times so that they weren't tripping on it. Best belt I ever used!!

Hi Donald. I have a Posey Green Six Handle belt that I bought to use with my mother. The belt does slip sometimes when used, but it still helps me get her up. I would rather have the belt even with the slipping than not have it at all.

We ordered this swim belt to have on hand for guests who wanted extra flotation while swimming in the lake but choose to not wear a life jacket. An 11 year old boy who wears an XL adult life jacket (which fit snugly around his mid section) needed something larger than the youth size swim belt and he used this for swimming. It did not seem to ride up on him, it did develop a slight split where the belt passes through the foam, but he was jumping off the dock, doing cannonballs etc. while wearing it. My guess is that his "waist" is at least 32", maybe bigger. There was still a "tail" of the belt available if needed.

This is one of the main reasons why I sent mine back. There is a way to tighten and loosen the belt by using the included tool, but that has a chance at making it slip and slide even more.

This might sound obvious, but have you tried reclining it a bit more? Also you may have the shoulder traps slightly too high, they should be at or slightly below his shoulders. This has never been a problem for either of my sons, I hope you get it figured out and end up loving your Pavilion as much as we do! Good luck!

It is very tricky to adjust this seat. (before I start, make sure to check the manufacturers instructions, they are the tested way of doing this). My first recommendation is get it "close" to the correct tightness without your kid in the seat, then buckle your kid into the seat. When tightening, try pulling the tightening strap down then up - I have to pull quite hard. That may help. Otherwise return it like I did - it is not a good design in my opinion.

A 24" waist...will it fit tight?...no. I just measured the fabric portion of the belt, and it was 32"...so if you were to tighten the belt as tight as it will go with the Velcro strap...it should be about 32"...question...okay, your waist is 24"...but aren't your hips bigger than 32"? It shouldn't fall down to your ankles. And you want to wear it out of the water? This thing is heavy with all the weights in place...not sure how that will work without the bouyancy of water helping you...that said, Amazon has an easy return policy, so try it out and see.

I have a pool noodle under mine in order to provide more recline. Maybe if you do this, it will free up a little space for the harness tightening strap.

I don't know. Maybe I should have tried that first, but the velcro continually poked into me. I actually just gave it away today. I don't have a very long torso, and maybe that would have made a difference.

Albert: I am 6'5" 230. I ordered the "XX large" and it fit great. The sides of the vest completely break apart and attach by Velcro, making it easy to increase/decrease circumference fit. My waist is 42" and there is PLENTY of real estate on the 2X to increase from 42" up. Great vest, tons of Molly straps. The only thing I would suggest is looking for a belt loop apparatus to connect the vest to your waist so when you sit in a vehicle the vest doesn't raise up. I found that annoying, but maybe that's just me. I let a family member use it for a while and they loved the vest and didn't know what I was talking about! Hope this helps Albert: I am 6'5" 230.

Suggest contacting the company. My waist is about 44" and the belt is 35" - 40". It fits but is tight. It is adjustable but I like it tight. Maybe if they have 44" - 46" that might work.

Sorry, I sent you an answer based upon the belts that I have used from Mueller, and they were NOT adjustable. The two I bought were different sizes and were double pull. Since I run a back rehab clinic I was able to use both of them, even though they were undersized, they each helt to the velcro quite well. I looked up the adjustable and it says fits up to 50". I have yet to try that one.

I would recommend watching the video and looking at their website to follow their sizing recommendations. For me, the size was not the issue. The fit was uncomfortable and really did nothing to help the vertical alignment of the spine. They also claim you can wear it under garments. Maybe a man can. But it is just bulky enough around the arms and under arms to make clothes fitting on top almost impossible. Good luck.

I'm going to say "no" as my son is almost 11 (on the "heftier" side, but not a 38) and it is close fitting. I am not sure exactly how it clasps in back, but there's a chance you could put some additional velcro to make it extend. I haven't looked at the belts that close (we have several of them) or could check with my husband. Hope this helps ... making a short answer long!!

I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long! She's so much taller than me, she can see over my shoulder when I use our BOBA. She loves being able to see! Like the other commenter Lisa mentioned, a bigger kid can have their arms up and over the shoulder straps and it works fine! I am sooooo happy I bought this devise. So much better than the Ergo. FYI. I bought it in the brown color and it is really dark at night when we stroll. I have attached reflector tape and those LED light up orbs that are sold for dog collars. Its made me feel safer walking in the dark. I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long!

I have the same problem. I am an "hourglass" shaped woman, 147 lbs, and my butt and legs spill over the edges of the Backjoy posture relief, which doesn't allow me to use it properly. Did you find something that does work for you? I like the concept and think it could help... at a larger size!
