The company specifies that it not be used on kids as they have not studied the effects it has on their normal development. It's the American way, if a little is good a lot is better, and that doesn't apply in this case. You need very little to keep mosquitos and the like at bay. Being that they have no control over that, they recommend not using it on kids 10 and under.

Everything I have read says that this isn't really for human consumption. It is also a powerful anti-microbial, and insecticide and fungicide. I suspect you shouldn't allow your child to consume it. I'm sure there are other remedies that are less dangerous.

I don't think so. If your child is petite it may be. It worked well on my 3 and 4 year old grandchildren. I have not tried it on our 1 year old grandchild.

No. On infants I've only used it for diaper rash. On adults I've used it for open skin that just wouldn't heal and it may take four or five days of successive treatment but it does the healing!

Yes, that is what I am using mine for. I started using it on him at 10 months, but you can use it much earlier than that.

It is not only for kids, I use it for myself. I do use it on my two year old as well and she likes it. But I bought it primarily for my own personal use.

Yes . My 7 year old grandson knows how to use it .. I only let him try it when II am with him Just to be safe. I don't think I would let him use it by his self

It should work, although I'm not sure about an age recommendation. I'm in my early 30's and have been using it for a couple of years. I like that it's mild enough, to me, to not cause irritation, but seems to work.

Thanks for the response to my question above. This eases my mind knowing that it can be used for younger children. My granddaughter is 1 year old and her hair is very thick and coarse. This information has been very informative. Thank you

Question was asked over a year and a half ago, so I'm sure an answer is no longer needed. Just for info though, 3M Ultrathon contains DEET and it's a strong chemical and I would be wary using it on young children and definitely wouldn't use it on kids a few years or less old. The instructions say don't apply to children's hands and when applying to children use your own hands to apply on them. Obviously, you want to keep your children from ingesting this insecticide. If it was my kids I would definitely try a natural, non-chemical product like lemon eucalyptus oil, cinnamon oil, rosemary oil, lemongrass oil, or peppermint oil. You will have to apply it more often, but I would feel much better using them on my kids. There are also a number of natural insect repellents made especially for kids on the market.

The label says "For children under 2 years of age - consult doctor". So age 2 and up. :)

Hello, it is me again, I just googled "can kelo cote be used on children", and it did say it was SILICONE based, and that it can be used on babies and children, but that the wound has to be closed first. Just type in that question and you will see for yourself. It also can be used on burns, it is water proof, and that I can attest to as well, but your skin can still breathe. I would still ask my DOCTOR as I don't know the age of your child, what kind of injury/scars etc. Good Luck!

Not really. Our grandson recently turned 12. He's tallish and on thin side in body makeup. I'd think a 9 yr old could use it just fine.

No, not just for children! :) My daughter uses it. She is 19, about 5'4" and about the same weight. She said the other one was way too long and she would "get tangled" in the straps.

You could put it on a toddler's skin.. but not below 6 months. It's for sensitive skin and SPF 15 Sunscreen. My little 5 yr old uses it, and it's fine. On the bottle, says vitamin E and aloe. Hope it helps ;)

I could not use. Didn't state but cannot be used by diabetics. If there are restrictions such as this I would certainly not use on a child. Should do as recommended by a poditrist

I would think that since it is safe to use around pets and small animals, that it would be safe to use around small children, but I would find out from the factory personally to make 100% sure!! :)
