Son will be 4 in Feb. I'm debating between this and the Zipfy jr size. Thoughts?

It worked fine for my very small 5 year old. I'd go with this one, for sure, and it will last many years.

We've only used this one however last winter my son used it at 5 and it was fine. It's better to get one a little bigger that your son can grow into.

Get the junior. The child I purchased it for was 5 at the time. When his dad took him sledding, he ended up using it while the child used something smaller. It's very zippy. My grand nephew is very strong and athletic. I think he would have been able to handle it. But at 4 it might be too large. Either way Amazon will exchange it if it's not right. It's a great product.

I bought a "small" for my 4 year old, but it is roomy enough to grow into it & not so big to fall off.

Since a 4 year old in most cases is very mobile, I recommend buying something cheaper and lighter ... Of you are thinking to have a backup for when your 4 year old gets tiered I think there are much lighter and cheaper options out there....

My tall 4 yr old fits comfortably in the stroller and he loves it- might be more of a weight issue for how much you want to push while running too:) I still think he has some room to grow in the stroller as well.

My son is 2.5yrs and can only do the zipper. But the buttons are big and I assume he'll grow into it more. I'd say 3-5yrs is optimal.

Hi, perhaps below 5 would be good. For big kids, maybe good is good to try the Ultra version.

We have had it now for a month. I have a 2 1/2 yr old son and also a just turned 4 yr old daughter. My son isnt super into it yet, he's kind of a smaller dude. My daughter loves it. She is tall and 49 lbs to give you an idea of her size. It works awesome. We have the buffalo and since it's more sturdy than the chameleon I plan to use for a long time. My 8 yr old wanted to try it out but I had to say no.

Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds. We use the RNP and aren't sure how much longer we will be able to use it. It only goes up to 25 pounds, but your child could outgrow it for length. We still have some head room, but we are thinking he will have transition by the end of August as we use this for his primary sleeping space due to acid reflux. So, you might be cutting it close if you decided to get it. Also, it travels VERY easily! We have taken it on many trips. It breaks down into a few pieces and could fit into a large suitcase. Have you looked at using a peapod?? KidCo PeaPod Portable Travel Bed with Air Pump - Red In any case, have a great time on your trip!

unfortunately, I don't think it would be to comfortable for either of you. My dog is only 8# and it is roomy enough when zipped up and even better unzipped, so keeping him in there for any length of time is no different than in his airline carrier, but adding another 10# I think might be pushing it, especially for any length of time. I'm all about comfort. Hope This Helps

I would think the small would be good. My son is 4 yrs and it was huge on him but he didn't care and it didn't come smaller so we kept it anyway.

Junior or Small. I'd get Small for him since the junior size is ages 6-9 he may have outgrown it already.

I think this size would be better. The larger size might be a bit heavy for a 3yo.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

It's a little big for a child unless the child is big for his/her age. I would go with something smaller.

If your kid is 3 or older I would get the bigger maxi it has a bigger board, but the lowest night is the same as the mini and it will last longer. I brought on of each for my 2 1/2 yr o,d and 4 1/2 yr old and if I had seen them in person firtpst I would have got two of the bigger Maxi ones.

The Jr size is a little bigger than when you stretch out your arms in a circle. It's a perfect size for my 2yr old daughter and she can also pick it up because its made out of little foams beads instead of those heavy beads. Hopefully this might be helpful depending on what size you want and you know if the Jr is that big then of course the others will be larger.
