Amazon is offering "small" or "large". Both state "This life jacket fits infants weighing less than 30 pounds" What is the difference?

I think it is a mistake. The small infants vest fits those under 30 lbs. If it's a large it should fit those over 30 lbs.

I'm not really sure why they have put sizing in the options because the life jacket that I purchased just says infant inside and up to 30 lbs. I will say that I bought the small because I was buying for my 4 month old that weighs 13 lbs but upon reading your question thought I would try on my 25 lb 2 year old and it also fits her. Hope this helps.

I think it depends on height and size of the infant, coz some infant weighs less than 30 lbs but taller and some are shorter.

I bought it for my grandson who was 19lbs and he was two, it is for up to 30lbs. It is a good lifecoat, not sure if the make them any smaller. Hope that helps.

Yes, I'd say the same as others, unless you've a huge baby small is a great first size for 0-3 or even 4 depending on the size. But if you're buying them now at 3 months maybe consider only a few small and go a size up for most so they last a bit longer. Though if you're planning on another baby anyway you will need them again anyway.

There are 5, 15 and 30 lb options. You should be able to choose the size when purchasing, as they are all sold on Amazon.

Don't remember. Been since last summer since it's been worn. I do know that you ussually need a size bigger than you would think. If your child weighs 30-40 lbs, odds are it will be tight fit or maybe not fit at all. I chose by reading other reviews. People complained that their child didn't fit in vest by using their size chart. Needed bigger size or would only fit for one summer.

If you actually us it as a prefold instead of an insert, small should fit 0-3 on a small to average size baby. You could probably size up for an average to large baby.

I bought 2 medium life jackets, and they are too small for my dogs who qualify as medium dogs, they are both under 60 pounds

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.

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

My daughter was a very small when we put her in this vest. I believe she was around six months old when we first put her in it. At that age it definitely was around her chin and neck because she was just so small. This is a very adjustable life jacket and we were very pleased with our purchase. It works until she is 30 pounds so she can still wear it even now. You can't find a life jacket at Walmart or a supercenter anywhere that is going to fit a one-year-old. This is your best bet.

Great question! One I wish I would have looked into before buying this system. This system is for babies up to 22 pounds. The Keyfit 30 will go up to 30! Wish I would have known that before buying.

The smallest size is a 2T and to be honest I think that might be too big for you. Keep in mind the arms and legs should be a snug fit or the suit doesn't offer much warmth. A 2T might fit ok length and waist wise, but I doubt it will keep water from getting inside and touching your child's skin.

Brian I know nothing about the neoprene one. I would expect that it may be the same. I had asked around about kids life jackets / beginning to swim type and was told about the Speedo one. I am very please with this one and had no problems with my grandson wearing it. He had a different one that was bulky, like the life jackets you see on boats and hated wearing it as it rubbed him under his arms and on the side of his face as it rode up on him. Got him this one and absolutely NO COMPLAINTS about wearing it. I got the 30-50 lbs one and he is six years old. He is small for his age, but anything bigger would not have worked it would have had to be returned as it would have defeated the purpose because it would have been too big. He is still wearing it this year. Hope this helps.

Yes.. The Tiny Fit System starts with babies as little as 4 pounds.. With out the Tiny Fit I belive it starts with 7 pounds. We out our newborn from the hospital in this. He was 7 pounds but docs thought he was going to be small so we ordered the Tiny Fit System to be sure.

The manufacturer's website shows up to 250 lbs for the small and 300 lbs for the larger version. Hope this helps.
