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 don't know the difference between the sizes, but the Jr is perfect for my toddlers. I bought them when they were a year old and could lay in them easily without touching the ground. They are almost two now and weight around 23lbs and they drag them all over to sit in. I imagine they'll use these for another year or two even.

I bought the "junior" size for two little 4 yr old boys...it seemed to be a good fit :) Hope this helps!

I think this backpack will have plenty of room for off of your sons binders & books. The zippers zip all the way down the side so you can pack it pretty good and there are plenty of compartments to keep everything organized. That is also the one concern I have is that it can get heavy especially if your carrying a laptop or iPad, but if he needs to carry that much stuff you're going to have that issue with any backpack.

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 - RedIn any case, have a great time on your trip! Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds.

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.

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

My grandson is 20 months. I recently buy the big one for him. I believe the infant one will be better for your 4 months old.

No, it should be a great fit. I bought it for my daughter when she was four and she is still using it at age six with plenty of room. This is one of her favorite toys. It is very soft and has a large zipper pocket for treasures.

Your son is longer than my daughter (25 inches) but weighs the same. I think the length would force you to move to the next size quickly. I would probably go with the next size.

I loved ours but at 20 lbs he is likely to only fit in it a very short time. I watch a 20lb 8 month old and it is a little small now. My 21 lb daughter out grew it at 18 lbs and 28 inches. Since they dont make a 9 or 12 month version i invested in a winter bundting, it was a great transition suit. It keeps her warm and still muffles some movement.

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.

I got the 11 which is great for 4 kids.... Bigger will work better for more than that!

We have the r100. My sister has the rxt. Her baby was in it from 3 months and we didn't put ours in until 9 months. I think if you are using it for a smaller baby you'll want the extra padding. I've heard the wings at the top are not very useful and make it hard to fit rear facing. Heard this from other reviews when I was researching. My sister's kids aren't tall enough to reach them yet. I felt the extra approximately $80 wasn't worth it.

Better fit always leaked for my son. Doubling works, like some of the others suggested, but then you might as well use the regular prefolds. I used premium for a long time until he started regularly leaking/blowing out, then switched to the bigger toddler size and haven't had an issue since. Toddler size is large and can be bulky and affect how pants fit, so you might not want to use them too soon.

I think a toddle would prefer the smaller size, the 25 in would be almost as tall as they were. JMO

My son is just under 15lbs (weighed yesterday) and this thing HUGS him. Definitely swaddles him tight with no room for movement.. I was kind of hoping it would be a little looser with growing room, but this size 'Large' is a perfect fit for him, and there are no larger sizes. If you child still likes to be swaddled tight at his/her age, then this would be perfect.. My son is 4mo's old and is kind of outgrowing being swaddled because he is still in discovery of his hands.
