Would this size work for a very active (crawling, creeping) almost 10 month old girl, average size? Or should I do the baby pillow? She's a cuddler.

Yes, I think this would work well if she is active (as many pediatricians recommend they don't have anything in their crib until they are pretty mobile). If you bought the baby one I think she may outgrow it quite quickly. Our daughter is VERY active at night and always struggled to get comfortable...she is much more content now. This was a good purchase. If you find that your daughter is just a little small for it - she will probably be ready for this one pretty soon! Hope this helps.

I wouldn't suggest it for a 10 month old. The instructions say this is for size 2 and up, and we got it at about the 1 1/2 year mark for my rather tall son. The size is nice, but the thickness was a little too thick for him. The baby pillow is not as big, but it is also not as thick so as not to put your baby's head at an awkward (and potentially dangerous) angle.

Our 3.5 year old uses it and he is much more active than when he was a baby. It's a great pillow. Wish we purchased it much earlier.

I assume it shouldn't be that roomy since it's supposed to hinder their startle reflex. However my daughter is tiny and it's really big on her. If your baby liked being swaddled they will probably like a tighter fit.

I would not put a 4 month old on this size. I would get the infant one first. I have a nap nanny that my grandson finally outgrew. And got this as a replacement. They are definitely worth the price.

At six month old she is way too young for a pillow. To many safety risks. A pillow can be used starting at age 1 and over. Then this pillow would be an excellent choice.

Well I just measured ours and it's 14" x 10" x 1" which is different than what Brian Campbell just posted and slightly smaller than I posted in my review awhile back (which was 15" x 11.5"). Is it possible they come in different sizes and that maybe ours shrunk a little when I washed it? We've loved ours. It was a great first pillow for my 1-2.5 year old...but now I think she's ready for something bigger.

She's sleeping so I can't take it off her to measure but I can tell you how it fits. She's small for six months and it fits her like a woman's 18" necklace. There are 1 year olds at her preschool that wear them and they're much bigger than her. Theirs fit more like a 16" women's necklace. Random comparison but hopefully it makes sense. Lots of room.

My little guy is 7.5 months old and we had him in the Large about three months ago. It was big but it was still effective and he didn't mind sleeping in it! It wasn't a magical experience as he still is up every two hours to nurse (no fault of the sleep suit of course!) but it REALLY did help with the amount of jerking movements that would wake him up. He is 18lbs and 28 inches and the large still fits his body but his arms and legs have grown out of the length of the sleeves (poor boy goes to bed in high waters but we are still using the sleep suit ;)!!!! So if you want a snug fit go with the smaller size! Hope my babble helps! My little guy is 7.5 months old and we had him in the Large about three months ago.

It's probably a little too large for an infant. I bought it for my granddaughter to take naps in when she turned one. She's 21 months now and loves to lie in it to watch TV and take naps. Hope this helps.

Hello... I bought this pillow for my son when he was 4 months old to round out his head a bit and to avoid one of those terrible helmets. It worked!!! He sleeps with is every night and is now a bit over 1 year old. I too was a bit nervous but he LOVED it. A great pillow for the $. If you are nervous and I was too....use it the first couple of times at nap time and check up periodically. then if all goes well and it will use it at night time. Hope this helps you :-) If just for looks and cute, You should wait for 6 months. My baby had a flat head so it was really necessary... either way your baby will love it!! Hello...

Im not an expert just a mom... I bought a sleep curve mattress for moses basket and used it until my daughter was 4 months and then bought the pillow. You should definitely consider sleep curve mattress it is great and quite affordable in moses basket size! She slides off the pillow now so half the time she is not even on it. So I can't say it is safe to use for a tiny baby because I started using it after four months.

I ordered this same Pet Car Seat in a medium for my 2 Yorkies that are 4.8 lbs each and they fit perfectly in it. I think the medium would work great for your 10 lb baby. My Yorkies love riding in it.

Hi there! I think it will be too small for two-year-old child. Better to buy a pillow.

I had my baby in this from a month old. About 8 or 9 pounds. She fell asleep in it immediately. The baby head moves a lot at this age but it didn't bother the baby. And I just cradled her head while I walked

Honestly, probably better. (It is large on me, I am about a size 6.) by large, I mean it doesn't hug my sides closely and my twins seem to fall into the side gaps. but my twins are preemies, so they are small, so may work better when they get larger. hoping so, it's really comfortable to nurse with since it has the back pillow. It also has a buckle in front to keep it closed around your waist... It does have a few inches of room to let out on buckle.

My daughter is almost 6 months and still sleeps in ours. I will probably keep her in it as long as she is comfortable. I know Leachco does not approve this as a sleeping device, but it has been the best thing for us. It seems like you can use it well into toddler stages. It has an adjustable Velcro strap that allows you to adjust snugness on it to allow it to grow as your baby grows. Good luck!

As a Pediatrician I wouldn't yet recommend use of a pillow for a 9 month old. I would recommend waiting until after 18 months.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQI bought this for my 1 year old grandaughter, she is petite and had more than enough room for another 1year old. We put a pillow in front when she first received it. Now at 1/ 1/2 years old you could still get two in, but depending on their body length it might be less room than you want. I am including a link that has an adult sitting in it, so you can get an idea. It has worked well for us, but if you have two larger children, you might look at something a step up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fkfhupn2xQ
