She'll need help, the arms are a bit tight on my three year old so read the description thoroughly before you purchase.

It snaps on easily, but you must snap it on from the back, so she may need a little assistance.

This is very easy on and off but every child of any age w this life vest will have to have help to get it on and off because the back of it has a latch attached to the straps in the back. I like the idea of that tho because the child can't take it off or it will slide off of the child. U know ur child's safe. It slides on in the front and then you have to snap the latch in the back. Its a very strong safety latch. Very much love this life vest and my daughters 5 yrs old, very skinny and slinder for her age. We've already used it 4 times in the last month. :) hope I helped answer ur question.....

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.

There is a piece that screws off and on. They shld fit right on after that. Just make sure to tighten things down before use.

Yes I think they are very difficult to put on. I have only worn them once since purchasing them.

Very likely will not fit a 6 year old very well. These were given to a 3 yr old, and she wears them very well - a little big, but her 7 yr old sister cannot wear them.

I in my opinion, no, my 4 year old grandaughter loves them.... They stay in place pretty good because they're rubber.. But sometimes she'll put it on 2 fingers.. They are a great hit at kids and adult parties

My daughter wears them not me but they are a little difficult with glasses. She too has some challenges with her glasses she has not complain about pain.

It's simple but not simple enough for a 4 year old. They are a snug fit so it would be tough for a little one in my opinion

I bought them for my 4 year old Granddaughter and she is small for her age and the need to be expanded for her, they are a tight fit

I am sure they will. I bought them for Christmas presents for my five and eight year old grandsons. I actually tried one set on. They were tight on me, so I'm sure they will work for kids.

My four year old users them and hasn't complained. I had to adjust them to fit smaller for her, if you haven't already let them out then you may try that. I know that the few times I've put them on they weren't comfortable because they felt too small.

Not too hard I think. I have 6 and a 3 years old sons and both can transform it for the most part. The legs are the only part that give them problems due to the part from the knee to the ankles having to snap into place. The rest of it they can do themselves.

They are for adults. to a kid they would be too wide and won't fit properly. therefore the safety aspect won´t be covered correctly

Just remove the previous tips and push theses ones on. It may require some crutching around to get them all the way on :)

they are definitely hard to put on and take off until they wear in a bit - i struggled to get them off - and heated them with a hairdryer the next time and they were a bit easier - i can't say if it was because we had already had them off once or not. But i did heat them with the dryer (on low and not very close) and they did soften up a bit - be careful - the leg will do the same if you get too close! i am sure it is not something they suggest - so i can't say enough to be careful

I'm an adult and they fit better on mine than they did on my grandson. He is very tiny for his age.

Excellent question. Well I believe they are almost impossible to perfectly put on. Hence you get another chance . Don't bother. Great company same thing as 1$ pack of 5
