I'm confused. The sizing says 2-12+ yr old, but most reviews mention them fitting infants. I have 6yr, 4yr, and 3yr old boys. Would I be better off purchasing adult size? Thanks

No these would be a perfect fit for your sons. I'm able to put these on myself perfectly fine without discomfort and still have plenty of room.

We have a 4 yr old daughter that wears them - should be fine for 3 and 4 yr old boys - not adjustable so not sure if they would be too tight for a 6 yr old but its worth a try. An adult size will not fit the 3 and 4 yr olds for sure - at least not what we tried. Probably not a 6 yr old either.

I actually wore them myself for a color run. They start off small and stretch from there. Im not sure what's the smallest it will fit though. 3, 4, 5, and 6 year old would probably be fine. Any younger might be too small.

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

Get the 18mths to 2 yrs I think its the Xl size as the 12 to 18 myths will be to small, or you will not get much usage out of them. we run a swim school and except for small and medium for bubs up to 12 mths we tell everyone to go for the next size up as they are a better fit. Cheers Caroline

I have twin 11 year old daughters and we purchased theses sea bands when they were just 6 years old. At that time they fit great and we used them often. We still use them on occasion but they do complain that it is too tight now. they have a small bone structure and small wrists. So it might be best to go with an adult size. Good luck!

Hi Kimberly, I purchased these for my son in the spring, he was 12 and appx 110 lbs. I figured he'd keep growing. His friends had the "youth" size and he already was at the max. The springs work based on your weight. We decided to get the adult ones and we are happy with that decision. He can now use these for years to come and you don't have to worry about reaching the max weight and needing a bigger size. My son is at the low end of the weight scale for his and he will be able to use them for years. The adult ones are heavier duty then the kids size. I hope that helps. I understand it is an investment and you want to get the right size for now and in years to come. Happy Holidays, Melissa

These fit my 8 year old son perfect. I also have an 3 and a 5 year old and they fit my 5 year old (a little big but not too big) but not the 3. Hope that helps!

In my opinion, they are absolutely perfect for a three year old. I got a size small for a 2 1/2 year old (she loves them, by the way) so I think a small would be perfect for your average 3 year old. There is nothing I can see on the slippers that would be of danger to small children so I think they make the perfect gift.

I bought these for my two year old. Way too big for her, but she wears them anyway. My six year old can wear them with no problem, she's a size 12. I hope that helps :)

I bought them when my son was 16 months and they fit wonderfully. They're adjustable so they fit my husband and I as well. I'd say it's a safe bet that they fit from 9 months on.

I think it's an adult, because they usually list the kids' items separately. I bought my daughter the women's Small last year because they didn't have any kid sizes available. She normally wears a child's' 10/12, so it was big, but it worked ok for her. She'll probably get a couple more years out of it!

Same problem here. Ready to order but no idea what size we are talking about. Is a small like a 4-6 in children's or is that an infant size?

when I bought mine my Son was 6 yrs old it was a great fit I 'm looking at it rt now and it doesn't say what size it is but its for a normal sized 4 to 6 yr old kid

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.

The skates have an adjustable piece that slides in and out to make them smaller or bigger. I purchased two pairs last Christmas; one for a 2 year old and one for a four year old. I ordered the same size, and they both fit. They put them on immediately and "walked/skated" all around the house. They don't roll fast like regular skates and it gives them time to get used to how to skate. It was a great gift for both of them. There is a sizing chart when you purchase them that you can go by. Although the four year old looked like he had just outgrown the skates and the size was on the margin, they fit him fine. check the size chart out The skates have an adjustable piece that slides in and out to make them smaller or bigger.

I would get Large if it were me. I always went up in size with my boys, never down. At this age, they grow like weeds so it never bothered me if it was a little big, for what, like 2 weeks? If anything, I think it's even cozier for them and they look so stinkin cute in them when they are waddling around �. Also, my boys were always tall for their weight, so I never went by that. If you go too small, the legs ride up a bit while they are sleeping too. Just my opinion...hope it helps.

Hi Casey -- these are designed for 4+ years old but should fit the 9 & 11 year old just fine. They are tight on most adults but still fit the more petite adults just fine on the largest setting; that said if you order and they don't fit you can return them to Amazon. Feel free to reach out to us (the sellers) if you have any other questions.
