Do the chest muscles in this costume cumbersome and limit mobility? Do they cut the child in the neck if they are too small?

The chest muscles in the costume are not cumbersome nor do they limit mobility. I would think if you get a smaller size and its to small the child would get a possible cut or a welt on his/her skin. Just get the proper size for him or her. Thanks

The chest muscles did not slow my son down one bit! We didn't have any problems in the neck area, although we had the right size for my son so maybe that is why.

I bought this for my godchild who was 4 at the time. The ost uke fit him just right, no chest constriction nor was it too tight in the neck. It was made very well and he loved it. He still wears it.

There's the left shoulder strap and right shoulder strap and from there, the two long pieces wrap around your rib cage. There is also a removeable velcro strip that helps the adjustment. I'm not a tiny person but I think someone of average body plus 50lbs wouldn't have a problem. I hope that helps.

Depends on the size of the child's arm. They're tight on me, but they stretch and are not terribly uncomfortable. Maybe they have a child's size.

It works very well for the legs and arms while moving.... I imagine the neck would be the same.... for the shoulder, an extra Velcro strap may be needed.

The chest strap is adjustable. Its not the easiest thing to move but it can be.

The PhysioStep can be adjusted so it's tight or loose. But it cannot be adjusted for each side of the body. I would recommend asking a physical therapist so the most benefit can be achieved for your son.

Because the straps cross it would smash your chest. But I have seen guys wear baby on their back. Hip carry might work, but I've never tried. The big wide crossed straps and waist belt make my 25 pound kid feel like nothing, it's a good carrier.

It has no problem and in general moves very well. He is also a lot more graceful moving then his big brother Robosapien. It does though have a somewhat low center but it hasn't seem to affect the Roboquad. Maybe out side it may matter more but that will have to wait for summer to test out

I think it would protect the sternum. My son wears his for baseball and often forgets he has it on. It really does a nice job of molding to their body. Just follow the directions bc you have just one shot. Once it molds to his body you can't go back and remold. I hope this helps.

NO...I believe it has a soft body, and my Granddaughter love's her!!!!! She buy's clothes, bottles (even though she doesn't eat/drink). Her mouth is closed, but she doesn't care. If your child plays pretend.. Then go with it!?!

It depends on how tall your child is in reference to the lowest setting on the Jumperoo. Regardless, it's not going to hurt the child either way as they'll grow into it within time.

It would be fine for 5 year old. It can be worn around the neck loosely too. I would worry about choking though. I bought chilling towels that can be draped around neck or just pat the face, neck & chest to cool.

It does not work the chest. It is a pulling motion so it works the back and a little bit of the biceps.

Yes, it can be worn around the neck. That is what my parents do. It seems clunky at first but they got used to it very quickly.

They step into it and it velcros at the neck. My son has been this before and it is cute.

I don't know that I'd have a 2yr old wear this. I had my 4 and 6 year-olds wear these: the 6-yr-old was fine. I put it on my 4-yr-old's ankle because it was too big for his wrist. He played with it constantly and broke it within an hour or 2 - it was then just a straight coiled plastic-thing. I tied it to the back of his pants on his belt loop, where he forgot about it for a while. I'd be concerned a 2-yr-old would get it on his mouth, or play with it a lot and put hands in mouth - BAD idea.

The suit is not stiff, but it is padded so that the baby isn't disturbed by their 'startle reflex'. I think the padding also helps make laying flat more comfortable as it gives some cushion to the back. My son did not move his legs in to the 'frog' position, but he was able to kick. He could not lift his legs enough to grab his feet though. He was able to move his arms and touch his face, but I know others who have told me their babies were not able to touch their face. I showed the suit to 2 very well known Pediatricians in the Phila area and they both saw no reason why a baby should not wear the suit - they did not feel it could harm development. They did just make sure that we would not use it once our son was able to roll on his own.
