What size is best for 8 year old?

I can't answer this directly as my oldest is 5, but I have the 60x30x15 for my kiddos because it fits our space. It is big enough for them to do forward and backward rolls. I do wish I had been able to get bigger b/c they will outgrow it soon, so I would definitely go up at least one size for an 8 year old.

I have the pink one for my 3 year old that is about 40lbs. I still have to make sure I'm standing and holding the mat to make sure it doesn't flip over when she does things. For a 8 year old I would get the larger size to accommodate height and weight.

The youth medium fit our 7 year just fine. Will be 8 soon and all still fits. Hope this helps. He loved it!

Go with a medium. I have bought them for both my sons at that age. They are average size boys. Small was very tight and uncomfortable.

I purchased the 'A' (8-10) size back when my daughter was younger and I have to say they were pretty small and snug. She got her fair share of use out of them but honestly I would most likely by the 'B' size. B is safer because you are going to wash/dry them !

I think you should go for 8-10 size. The suit has straps at ankle and elastic at wrist place. So little bigger size will not be a problem. I ordered 10-12 size for my 8 year old and it's perfect for him.

I bought the Medium for my grandsons 8th birthday. He is skinny and quite tall. It was perfect. Buy the Small and you'll be OK. We were very pleased with it. He was thrilled!

Size 8, he is about the size my daughter was when I bought hers and I got her an 8. They work better and stay warmer when they are more snug than loose.

Personally I would go with the 8. It may be a smidge loose, but shouldn't effect anything. The problem I found is, if I get the exact size, they will grow out of it by summer. If I get a size larger, they will grow into it, theoretically, it would save some money. Wetsuits are suppose to fit snug, but a little loose is ok. BTW....Amazon sells this stuff called "piss off". It's a wetsuit cleaner./deodorizer. Make sure he rinses, and hang dries. It does to get a funky smell so LET IT DRY ON A HANGER AND KEEP IT OUTSIDE.. on the hanger. Good luck.

The size is just perfect for my 3 year old. I would imagine that it is too small for an 8 year old.

I wanna say I got my 6 year old one that was supposed to be for 8yr olds, but it fits pretty well. Its a tad big but not overly and will give him some growing room. I don't recall what the sizing wording was, but possibly 8-10. I hope that helps.

Probably the average size 8 year old. I would go any more that what ever that is.

I bought these for eight year olds and they fit perfectly. I would be hesitant to purchase them for younger kids.

I think it comes in this size and one larger size. But my 30yr old husband, 7 year old daughter and 5 year old son all use this size with no problem. I'd say it's the perfect size for an eight year old.

My daughter is size 8. This article size 8 fit her perfectly. I would recommend size 8.

I have purchased both sizes, the 5 year old got the smaller one for his birthday, the 8 year old just got the larger one. Both fit them well and the boys were quite happy with also having pants. they are pretty average sized for their age. I also picked each of them up a pair of shoulder pads, found them for under $8 and Prime eligible. The ones that comes with are not really shoulder pads. Remember, this whole outfit is for play, not real competition football.

A medium fits my average sized 6 year old son. Should fit him for several years (maybe til about age 9).

I purchased the Medium (US size 8-10) for my 7 year old and it was a little big in the shoulders and length, but not so much that he couldn't wear it this year. He'll just be able to use it again next year. I would get the Small for a 5 year old. Hope this helps.
