Are these 0-30 or &gt;30 life jackets? I have a tiny 6 month old (only about 14 lbs) and need a life jacket for him.

These are 0-30 lbs. Our little one was/is still pretty small, and this worked very well for her last summer when she was 6/7months old and will work great for her this summer! At a 1.5 years she has barely hit 20lbs! :)

I just recently bought them for my 12 month old and they work great. He is 26lbs and 33" so very big for his age. He still has a little room to grow into them. I believe they would have fit him when he was a newborn.

I did see sizes. May have to look "Paws Aboard" life vest on Google. There is XS, S, M, L, in this type. We have a 13 pound Bichon and the small was perfect for him. See their site. They give sizes in regards to poundage of dog. http://www.pawsaboard.com/pages/pet-life-jackets/

My child is 48 lbs, 48" and I got him the 6. He still has a bit of room to grow but he is lean and wiry. The 8 will probably be best, and there will be plenty of room to grow into it. P.S. the zippers are pretty flimsy on these newer models.

I started using cloth at 6/7 months and my son runs average to small sized. I had him on the lowest rise setting with the wings overlapped for a couple months. I would say these are probably gonna be too big at first. Not sure how long.... but I'd def still get some one sized. You know how babies grow..

While the infant size would work, I would instead recommend "Stearns Infant Hydroprene Life Jacket" They are made for babies that size. Biggest factor is the fit to try it out on the 11 month old first. Stearns PFD 2000006964 Infant Vest Connelly Skis Infant Baby Safe Vest

Hi, we've done a lot of research and learned that kids' life jackets aren't categorized by types I, II or III. However, we and our swim instructors have tested these jackets for our 2 children (6 and 3) and concluded that the kids are un-sinkable wearing them and the only position for their heads is up above water. They are great. We recently bought a 3rd one for our 1 yo nephew.

I didn't read the 24 month just the 30 to 50lbs. The arms may stay back on your daughter due to her size. My granddaughters arm came right out on one side...for us it didn't work. When it is time which is soon i will just use the arm floaties like i always have. I am not to picky and normally i am happy but these just didn't do it for us.

Not sure how big your LO is, but mine is 14 pounds and these still work great. They're definitely not as large as a typical insert, but still absorb really well. If your LO is on the larger size, if probably buy the larger size.

I'm really surprised that Amazon doesn't give measurements on all their dog life jackets. The first one I bought was way too small (another brand) but I'd guess you'd need a small. There are a couple of other measurements I've seen that might make a difference. I did look up Kyjen Life jackets online and found a chart. You might want to try that. You do want a good fit.

I would go for the 2X or 3X but seriously, when buying a life vest you are WAY BETTER OFF going to a marine store and trying one on than trying to guess the size online. I have a 36" chest and wear a size 6 pants and the small size BARELY fits me, so when they say a small fits up to a 38" chest it isn't true. I should have bought a medium.

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!

I started using the toddler size when our youngest was 6 months. Last winter, our oldest was 3.5 years and still using the toddler size. Kept them warm in Norway winter :)

I would buy a life jacket that matches the child's weight. This is an adult life jacket so unless it is an older child that is close to the size of a woman, I wouldn't use this.

I would say 40-45 max on the medium. Some kids are more buoyant than others - at least it seems they are - If it seems like it's struggling to keep the child afloat then go to large.

We've been using these since our daughter was born, at 7 pounds. They looked comically big on her then, but fit fine nevertheless. She's 3 months and 13.5 pounds now and they still fit her fine. I guess it depends on the baby and the size of his/her neck, but in our case - with a rather average-sized baby - they've been great from the start, and I hope we can continue using them for months to come!

These are intended for newborn and up. Our son was so small (born under 7 pounds) and we didn't start using them until 6 weeks old. Honesty, all the diapers we had were intended for newborn and up (one size fits all) but with all the folding over, the diapers were all too bulky. He looked ridiculous. I understood later why some people buy the infant ones for the beginning or just use disposable for the a few weeks.
