If I were to modify it a bit, do you think it would work on a toddler? First, I'm not an abusive manny. 2nd, I would use water not citronella.

I would not use this product for humans even though it is safe and nontoxic. The system requires a collar around the neck, and that would not be safe for a child. The system cannot be modified easily because you would need a preloaded pressurized canister of water that would fit the entry port of the delivery device. Better to use positive reinforcement to train children.

For what would you use this on a toddler - to make him stop crying? I think not, as you would have to put it around the toddler's neck. Unless you want to be charged with abuse.

I bought this for my son who turned two! I felt pretty confident that he was not going to try and shove this thing into his mouth and choke on it... I was more worried about getting the wheels caught in his or his sister hair, if he wandered it near hair while the little motor was running. I think that it has the potential to rip some hair out. If you're worried about you child choking on this, then, STOP right now and don't order this. Order him or her a helmet with a mouth guard and follow them around the house padding everything they bump into.....or cut the cord and left them discover the fun of life and toys!

I got rid of the packaging so I'm not sure if it has a recommendation or not, but my 4 year old had a blast doing this with her dad. He mostly did everything of course. I would recommend adult supervision and help up to 12 or so. My 11 year old daughter followed my Husband's directions & was able to do everything herself. I don't believe the bowl gets hot enough for anyone to actually burn themselves on accident or anything. Seemed pretty safe, but I would just recommend adult supervision for children in case they need help pouring, etc. But I would say any age would enjoy participating and/or just watching the process.

I think it's definitely more appropriate for a small child, like you have... My 2 year old was a bit to big for it. We loved the idea the tent though! It does provide SPF but I can't recall off hand the amount.

I really love this product, and it seems very sturdy to me. Since I use it for salt, I would not be likely to give it to a toddler to play with....this is not a child's product. If you use it for purposes it was intended for, I think you will be very happy with it. Hope this helps you.

I would like to think from as early as a year old should be able to take this because of it's natural ingredients but I would probably start this on a child from two upward. Give a smaller dose and add some water.

Yep! My daughter (18 months) would use it on herself, and then want to "suck mommies boogies". I didn't even realize how congested I was one day until she caught me off guard with the Baby Vac. It was amazing the difference...and how much better I felt.

i would imagine the only issues would be the size not fitting tightly enough to be effective, and the child removing them. so, you could certainly try them. i dont remember what age my son was when we started using them. but i didnt now about the ages 3 and up part, so it might have been before then. i just cant remember!

I have a almost 3 year which works perfect for him except the strap imbetween the legs don't have much to grow but he loves it I also have a 15 month old and I haven't tried it with him yet but might work but my 15 month os only 20 lbs so might work with your son I'd def try it if he loves swimming freely it dodnt tip not even once for us and my son was all over in it splashing if any thing he would def grow into it quick def recommend it over a puddle jumper or whatever there called this seems to help keep there head out of the water no problem even when leaning forward

I think these might slip off too easily and therefore not suitable for a toddler, there'd be a danger of choking. Maybe you can rub his fingers with something instead, like lemon juice, or let him/her wear fabric bandages on the fingers?

It might work but as someone else pointed out it has that big hole where the center buckle normally pulls through (maybe you or someone you know can sew it closed?). If it's a minor accident or just as a precaution with a pretty well potty trained child it might be ok.

I don't see why it's not for toddler. I plan on using it until he moves into a twin bed! :)

it is clearly not a bottle designed for children. it isn't heavy, but the twist off would be clumsy. though it's just my opinion, if you're looking for drinking containers for a 4-5 year old plastic would probably be better.

I would think so. I don't have kids, but you don't place it very far into the ear canal. You might research it online at the Braun website to see what they say. Ask your pediatrician.

Personally I would not use it to keep a toddler in, its to easy to remove the velcro strip. Hope this helps.

We stared using it as soon as his belly button fell off. We just recently stopped using (5 1/2 mo) because he wiggled so much he would slide down and he wabted to splash so we moved to a bath ring. I absolutely loved it for him and made bathing a breeze!

Hmm I hope I can help, even though it's likely a completely different circumstance. I'm certainly not a toddler, but when I needed to use this to help with earwax removal, I'd lay flat on my side on the bed and have someone drip it into my ear. I'd then just distract myself for a few minutes with television or something. Hopefully, you can find something that will distract your child for a few minutes and stop him from moving.
