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.

I would say it depends on how old the child is. I got this pool for my granddaughter early in the summer, she is 18 months and has pretty much out grown it.

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.

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.

My daughter was 20 months when we used it last and was around 25 pounds. Weight wise she was OK but at her age I would not say it was any good. It is almost arms length for the child to reach over the sides to reach the water causing it to almost flip. We always grabbed it before it flipped but I'm sure it would have.

my daughter (17) is over 100lbs and it seems to be fine for her. We were on the beach and saw other kids that look heavier. I think this board accommodates most weights. My daughter thought it was not as easy as it looks to maneuver though.

I have a 6 year old that weighs about 55 lbs and an 8 year old that go in it sometimes. They could probably use it for the next 2 years.

My LO is only 21lbs at 17 months. I think it is up to 33 lbs, but it is tight fitting. It does ride up into his chin so I have to constantly pull it down. It is really made for kids old enough to understand how to swim but does not yet have the ability. We just like the extra security in case he slips in the pool from our arms.

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

For pool play you can easily fit 10 to 15 comfortably. You actually swim I wouldn't suggest more than 4. It is a big pool and I enjoy it.

It may be a touch big for under 8, but it's adjustable, so shouldn't be too much of an issue.. We love it!

The recommended weight is 30-50 lbs.. However my little girl weighs about 20 lbs and does fantastic with it!! I love this puddle jumper, we use it about every weekend. Her arms are secure enough that she can't easily pull them loose herself. I would highly recommend this product! We sure have enjoyed it!! So, my answer is "yes!! I believe this would work for your little one!!"

No, it's not , I would say its perfect 9 months - 18 months, and for 2 year old and up it is kind of small . It works for the beach well, if you don't mind taking it to the beach. But my my 2.5 year old is really tall for his age, so maybe I just judge based on that. Again that is my personal opinion ,based on my experience with it.

I think it is good for my 3 year old I would not feel comfortable for an eight month old. It takes a lot of neck and back stength to keep their head above water with the back 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 used it this summer for my two year old that weighed around 30-32 lbs and he just lounged in it. My sister also used it for her daughter that was a year and weighed around 26 lbs. it worked for both of them pretty well. Best floatie I've had by far!!! The seat goes under the water so it's not a balancing act they can sit comfortably.

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.
