My son is 6 years old, weight 39 lbs, height 3.1 ft, and skinny. Wears size 7 in shirts and 6 in pants. Which would you recommend to purchase 6 or 8?

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.

One other thing...after rinsing off beach water. Hang inside out to dry. Be sure NOT to use a metal/wire hanger. I can't stress this enough, but be sure you keep it outside of your house. Regardless how you wash it, it will get a funk smell. Almost like a dead animal, this is common due to the material that is use. Once it goes back in the ocean, you don't notice the smell. If you need to transport from the house to the beach. Haul it in the trunk.

I would go with the 6 because they seemed to run a little long in the torso to me. I had to send my daughters back not because it was poor quality or anything, she is just 4'10 and 100 lbs short legs long torso. I got her the 12-14. The size chart is pretty accurate though if your son is not all legs or all torso. Hope this is helpful? It was a nice suit, great quality for the price!

My son is 8yr old and weighs about 52 lbs. He's tall and skinny. I got him a medium. And it fit perfect. It was super cold here for Halloween and he had on 2 shirts underneath. I hope this helps.

My son is 8 years old & wears a size 7-8, it fit fine. My son is tall, the pants were a little short. No problem, I just made sure he wore black socks.

my 8-year-old wears a7/8 and I got him the size small pants which are slightly large but if you pull the shoulders tight they work perfectly. My 9 year old where is an 8/10 and I got him the medium which works for him.

My son turns 10 in a few days and is about 5 feet too and 82 pounds. X-large was perfect for h. My daughter who is 8 got the large and they are shorter, so would be too short for a boy of 5 feet.

For a 6 year old I would recommend getting the size 1-4. Your grandson would probably fit into the J10-13 right now but on the largest setting. It's best to get the bigger ones so he can grow into them.

Both of my boys are thin. My 8yr old wears a 7/8 slim. I got him the small and we pull the shoulders tight and it works. My 9 these old wears an 8/10 and wears the med comfortably.

The shorts ran very true to size. My daughter is 7 and the L (size 6-8) is perfect. She is about 62 pounds though, has a little thicker build. I would buy the same size he wears in pants.

Your boy's height doesn't matter. I am 6 feet tall and I wear a medium. take a tape and measure from the tip of your index finger and go to the crease of the wrist. Mine's a little more than 7 1/4 and that is a medium. 7 1/2 is large

You should get the medium size. My son is 7 years old not tall. I got him the medium size . The pants fit perfectly the shirt is a bit big. He usally also wears size 8-10 and 8 pants.

My granddaughter just turned three in January. She is 29 lbs and fits in the size four. The six may be long for him but you can always roll up the sleeves and legs. And he can wear it for two years I would guess.

My son is now almost 10, and has just started wearing size 12 pants. We bought the size "regular" a year and a half ago, and they still fit him.

Get the 6-9. My guy is 14.5lbs and just starting to grow out of his 3-6 suit.

Me personally I would go with the 7-8 just in case to allow for a little extra growing room. My son enjoyed wearing his costume around the house well after Halloween to bed and playing with his brother.

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.
