Are these 0-30 or >30 life jackets? I have a tiny 6 month old (only about 14 lbs) and need a life jacket for him.

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.

These are 0-30 lbs. Our little one was/is still pretty small, and this worked very well for her last summer when she was 6/7months old and will work great for her this summer! At a 1.5 years she has barely hit 20lbs! :)

I can answer your question. I have the three different sizes of these Kent life jackets. The youth size says that it is good for someone up to 90 pounds. The adult size (the one you are asking about here) says that it is good for anyone "over" 90 pounds, and does not give a weight limit. I also have the XL adult size for large passengers, and it also says that it is good for anyone "over" 90 pounds, and does not give a weight limit (but remember that it is for oversized adults, i.e. longer straps). I hope this helps you.

I used them for my newborn 8 lbs 7 oz at birth. I used the snappi diaper fastener until he was 10 lbs or so.

In size 6 there was no problem with movements while swimming. And they are doing a lot of free style etc, no trouble at all. The smaller tighter size 4 was little uncomfortable in this way. Id say the way size 6 fits my kid is like on the picture of the girl for this item here on amazon.

Get the 18mths to 2 yrs I think its the Xl size as the 12 to 18 myths will be to small, or you will not get much usage out of them. we run a swim school and except for small and medium for bubs up to 12 mths we tell everyone to go for the next size up as they are a better fit. Cheers Caroline

We ordered this jacket for our granddaughter when she was just under 20 pounds. It is excellently made and we all loved it, but was way to small for her. And very tight. According to the rating it should have worked just fine. Be aware that the jacket itself has about an inch and a half material in all areas and the float in the back of the child's head is quite large and also the same thickness. Your child would never drown in this jacket, but like our granddaughter, may not tolerate the thickness of the jacket. I would imagine that it would fit an eleven pound child well. I think it should have been rated differently. Hope this helps! We ordered this jacket for our granddaughter when she was just under 20 pounds.

My newborn was a little early. He was only 5 lbs. That being said we put him in them about 1 month in. He may have been about 7 lbs

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.

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.

They fit in my tiny three-year-old (5th percentile ). They were the smallest hard shell I had seen. To be honest they are pretty restrictive, my three-year-old really never got fast enough to need much padding . In retrospect long sleeves and jeans was all she needed to protect against scrapes

We bought the medium for our 3-year old who is now 35lbs.Personally, I don't think this vest is suited for someone so young and just learning to get in the water. I would look more for something with inflatables to keep her head and chest above the water. This type of vest requires effort on their part to stay upright. Just my opinion...

We returned ours because the sizing chart wasn't accurate....we meant to purchase another but never got around to it. I will try to help from what I remember.....It was very good quality. Any life jacket will restrict some movement...but they will definitely be able to navigate. Neoprene is the breathable material that is used in things like wet suits.....it is a very comfortable material .....hope this helps :)

Our daughter was 7 lbs 14oz and these did not fit her correctly until she was about 3 months old. They "fit" her, but they were too wide around the legs which was just messy. We used prefolds until she was about 3 months. It really depends on the size of your baby and the proportions of his/her body. In general, these do not tend to fit brand new babies. :)

I'd say they started fitting my baby around 10 lbs and fit my 35 lb toddler still so I know for sure they fit between 10-35lbs

My 18 month old grandson wears them easily and I believe they are snug enough that they would work for your 7 month old. They adjust easily to fit a pretty small head, yet I've been able to wear them also. I highly recommend them. They really seem to give protection from loud noise.

I had started using these bibs when my baby was 4 months old(they were a little big) and now she's 8 months and fit fine. Still room to grow (she's on the petite side) but I would think they'd fit your 6 month old pretty well. As for solids, you just have to be careful of food that can stain - i.e. blueberries on a light colored bib, if you don't rinse off right away, there can be a stain. I didn't do that with one of the orange bibs and now there's a little dark stain where avocado was! but not big deal since there's 9 other bibs!

My son is 36" and 30 pounds. He has a size 4 suit and it is a little big on him. It is wider than it is tall on him. They say the suit should not be loose if the goal is to keep them warm. The suit is well made and thicker than any other suit that I have seen. If your daughter is getting cold, you may want to try size 3.
