Nowhere do I see age or weight choices on any of the Ride Safer vests? does anyone know at what age or weight these are appropriate?

I think there are 2 sizes but the min age is 3 yrs. I also think there is a weight requirement but I know my kid was well past the minimum weight by the time she turned 3. We love the thing. A great space and time saver. Goes with the kid, not the car and eliminates the need for every caregiver to have a car seat.

I've had over 15 kids now use the Ride Safer version 2 Size Large between ages 8-12. For most averaged sized children under age: 8 I would recommend the size small. However age is not so much a factor but rather the weight and size of each child. I've had some larger 9 year old's that have outgrown the size large where as I've had other 12 year old's that still fit in it just fine. I would say that the weight recommendations for the vest set by the manufacturer are pretty accurate: Size Small for children at least 3 years & 30-60 lbs and Size Large for children 50-80 lbs.

I don't remember where in the product specs I found it--although I was able to online--but I believe it's over 3 years old and either 30 or 35 lbs. Hope this helps!

Hi Kimberly, I purchased these for my son in the spring, he was 12 and appx 110 lbs. I figured he'd keep growing. His friends had the "youth" size and he already was at the max. The springs work based on your weight. We decided to get the adult ones and we are happy with that decision. He can now use these for years to come and you don't have to worry about reaching the max weight and needing a bigger size. My son is at the low end of the weight scale for his and he will be able to use them for years. The adult ones are heavier duty then the kids size. I hope that helps. I understand it is an investment and you want to get the right size for now and in years to come. Happy Holidays, Melissa

Hello Karen, I'll try to help you out as much as I can. I forgot when I purchased this helmet, maybe on your screen it'll tell you that info but unfortunately it doesn't say on my end. My son turned 11yrs in Feb and he's of average size. Just yesterday we used this helmet and another same size helmet for him and his 5 cousins ages 7-13yrs for go-karting and they weren't complaining at all. So I assume they did fit. About a month ago my nephew used it and he's 17yrs but we had pulled off some of the inside paddingt which are held together by buttons. To tell you the truth, it is a good quality helmet if your using it in light/mild activities. I wouldn't trust it so much if he used it for motorcycling. Another factor is that you can't beat the price. Then again, you can't put a price on the safety of kids. I hope this helps. Good Luck! Duane M.

I think you will find that the vest is too big for her. My 3 year old is 33 pounds and 39" tall. It's a little big on him and I will not use it at this point for him but think in 6 months it would be ok for occasional use. Out of curiosity, I tried it on my 64 pound, 52" tall 7.5y. Although he's passed the weight limit (I wouldn't use it for him), it still fit. I would not attempt it on a child so young unless you would otherwise go without a car seat as I'm sure it's better than nothing. I suggest the Diono Radian, it's a great foldable car seat with high safety ratings. Get the simple one without all the extra supports, we use that for travel for our 3y old.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this one but it is very very hard to remove weight from the vest. You will risk damaging the vest trying to remove them because the pockets are so tight. If you don plan on wearing 50 pounds I'd recommend a smaller size vest first. I ended up getting a 25 pound vest for most of my bodyweight training and once a month I put on this monster to challenge my strength gains.

I have 2 of these. One for a 4 and one for a 6 year old. Car safety seats are not based on ages. They are based on height and weight of the passengers and belt placement across the passengers chest. Look up the manufacturer's website and it will explain it to you... I hope this helps...

We purchased a small for our grandson who is 4 years old. Our daughter measured and told us the size he would need. You can always send it back for another size as our daughter said this helmet is rated high for safety.

Not sure what the large is. I have 5 & 7 year old boys. Come next year, odds are I'll be getting whatever the next bigger vest is, stearns sizes run smaller than what they claim. My boys are relatively skinny and otherwise of average size their age. these vests do the job though, both fell out of the boat last summer (screwing around) and they were forced into an easy rescue position w/ their heads well above water in a semi back-float position.

Three years is the minimum age. The small vest is for 30-60 pounds and the large fits 50-80 pounds. My three, six, and eight year-olds use them for Dad's car, carpools, and travel.

I kept my son in the five point harness until he literally outgrew it height wise. He was 7.5 years old and about 53 inches tall. He weighs 60 pounds. He is now in the seat belt positioning booster and does quite well with it.

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.

Your height and weight is more important than your age, I'm 5' 10" & 210 pounds, but I think this vest might fit someone as small as 5' 6" and 130 pounds. Better to get an actual answer from someone with a small frame. Good luck!

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

I think the safety rating is the same, it's just sized smaller. A large youth size might not fit you, so check the fit/sizing info to be sure.

The Website states minimum age three years and minimum wight of 30 lbs.Here is the website with the specs http://ridesafertravelvest.com/convenience/fit-sizes/As far as it works when traveling my daughter stated that it worked great with her child but she still was a little concerned with day to day use and on the plane used a safety system that was rated for aircraft travel.

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.
