My son was 22 months and about 26lbs when he first used this. It was a little big on him. But still worked great.

my daughter is 2 years old and about same weight but shes on the taller side it was a little lose on her but worked fantastic at the hotel pools.Hope this helps. There is an adjustment we have it set the smallest it will go

Yes, it will have room for growth but will work. My son uses and he's 25 pounds. It's great to have. Very helpful.

I believe the product is made for children starting at 30 lbs, so I would use with caution. You could get it and see how snugly it fits to be sure. If it's too big you could just wait several months and try it again.

how did it work on your 18 month old? Mine is 16, 25lbs. was wondering if it would work. He's always in the water and loves water....

I would say yes if s/he is already comfortable in the water and quite strong. But for most 18 month olds I would say no. Id try something like this Swim School Aqua Tot Trainer

I have a 19 month old that weighs 23lbs. We tried on a friend's Puddle Jumper and it fit a little loose but it still help him float and enjoy himself. Off course, you need to keep a constant eye on your child even with a life vest. I don't think it will fall off, my child is on the slim side and it did not slide off his arms.

This will definitely work for you. My boy is 48in and about 44 pounds. And we spend a week in NY and that was all I used.

We put my 5 month old grandson in it, but he is also abt 20 lbs. , his. 20 month old brother is on it too and weighs 30 lbs. your daughter is tiny and the infant one would be better for her. I originally got it for my 20 month old grandson

In my experience, I wouldn't suggest this for a child so young. Look for a vest or suit that will keep them afloat or a ring that goes in the pool.

My 4 year old who is 27 pounds used it the other day and yes worked great I felt the size was a little large because I have the large one for my 5 year old who is 55 pounds and it is perfect for him. I would get the smaller one but you should love it. Far better than arm floats that I used last summer.

While I no longer have this pool, our pool sort of went up or down a few inches depending on how much water was in it and surface you place it on (since the rubber ring on the top sort of floats a bit). The ring adds a few inches (guessing 4) What we found was that it was great when my daughter was 4-6 years old - we had 3 good years with it. By the summer of her being 6, she wasn't as interested in the pool because 1) she was a swimmer 2) was in summer camp all day and swam a lot and 3) she sn't a dipper - she wants to splash and bounce around - it wasn't big enough for that. She is currently 48" tall. Not sure if that helps with framework.

Not overly restrictive. I think it's fine for snorkeling. I'm not sure how old your child is but it will help them float on stomach or back.

No I definitely wouldn't recommend it for an 18 month old. I think it would be way too small. Hope I helped.

It is best for 18 month (if walking and steady) to possibly 7 or 8 depending on height/weight. The limits are 220, my husband can be on with my 2 1/2 year old son and it is fine.

I would not recommend this for a child that age. I mange an indoor pool and this is a great product that we get a lot of use out of, but children older (larger) that a two-year old are big enough and strong enough to easily tip this toy over. Once tipped over, an older child's legs get caught in the leg holes, and they get trapped upside down. For safe pool play, I would recommend the Supersoft Life Jacket from Texas recreation (fun, comfortable, and safe) and of course constant adult supervision. =) Swimways also makes a regular kid or adult sized Spring Float that would be safer when paired with a lifejacket. Hope that helps! I would not recommend this for a child that age.

I would not put two kids with that age difference in it. I don't think that would work well, and depending on the size of your six year old, they may not both fit. I would say it is definitely worth carry around for a trip for the 19 month old. Can't imagine not having it for traveling with little ones.

My baby is 5 months 18lbs and he has no issues. He even wears cloth diapers too and the bulkiness doesn't seem to affect him fitting in the chair.

Yes, if your child is tiny. Otherwise, I'd say it is more suited for 1-2 year olds. More of a baby float.

Absolutely!! Our children are the same age and we just went to Disney with them. My 5 yo weighs about 49lbs and is tall for her age. Our 3 yo weighs 35. It can be a bit hard to maneuver because of the weight but will work for tall children.

I have this and it is perfect for kids 1-3 20lbs- 40lbs. My 4 yr old daughter was to heavy

I wouldn't recommend it. This one will float if there is enough water in the tub, making it unstable. If you want to bathe the older child at the same time, it will be a tight fit. You could nathe the older child with the water inside the smaller inflatable tub.
