my child is 1.5 years 20 pounds and I want to introduce her to swimming...i am not sure if the medium size will be good for her?

Medium should fit perfect and allow her some time to grow into it. Our daughter was almost two when we purchased and around 23lbs and she used it right away. She still has more growing room. You should be fine.

My son is 45 lbs. and the Large size did not fit him, although they are supposed to fit 45 lbs - 60 lbs. so i returned the product

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...

I bought the medium size for my 4 year old who is 36lbs. It fit him well with some room to grow. It may be way too big for your 1.5 year old. I hope this helps.

Yes it should! My Granddaughter was a little older than that but she is petite ..... She loves it and swims all over the pool! It's so much better than floaties and it's nice not to have to worry about her while we are at the pool!

Look at a Puddle Jumper. I put my son in that when he was 20 months, and it worked great for about 2 years. I'd keep in in one now, but he's stocky, and out grew it. Google Puddle Jumper, and watch the videos of the little one's swimming. It works great!

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.

My daughter is 10 and about the same lbs. I bought the small ones. They fit good.

You should check the speedo website for the correct size...the vest is lightweight so you may want it bigger so they don't outgrow it.

I would say a Medium! For sure. I think a Small is too small for a size 12 gal. Medium works for my 3 grade, 4'11", 100 lb baby girl! :-)

I have bought the medium size for my 15 year old daughter and they were loose a lot, she is 5' - 9" and weight 148 pounds and it tends to slip within her arm when she is sparring, i should have bought a small, hope this would help.

My son is 15 and medium/slight swimmers build about 5'6" and I got him the adult large, it fits him a little roomy but he likes it like that and it will last him all through high school. Hope this helps :)

It depends on the childs weight. If the child is between 30 to 50 pounds, it should be fine. I have a couple children over 50 pounds, I got them the youth ski jackets for the pool.

You might try a medium actually my pit is 70 ib n the large is good for him. But the padding is a little light so I want to add some more so he floats better. Also the return policy is awesome so if it doesn't fit u can return it and order the right size.

The medium is for 15-22lbs and the openings are snug so I would probably just get the medium because she will probably grow out of a small pretty fast.

Hello Ann. I entered to the speedo website and with the reference you find the item and size chart, when first I bought the small, now he is almost four and we got the medium, it can not be loose...he is 35 pounds now. I hope it helps you. Www.speedo.com

I got medium for a 7 year old and she still has room, but for a14 year old I think I'd go large. I'd rather be a bit big than too small.

I have bought 3 of these for my kids, aged 3, 5, and 8 and can say there is room for growth. However you should be aware that the straps are not very "wear friendly", i have had to replace once already after less than 1 year, but then my kids swim almost every day. For my 5 and 8 year old we also bought water friendly fabric and made a mermaid tail for over the fin. Also consider Mahina Mermaid. If you don't mind spending a little extra, they ship globally and have found them to be better mono fins if you are looking for more of a mermaid look.

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.

I am 5.8" and over weight. I bought the large. I think medium will be fine for your son.

My 5 year old got the medium and its a touch large so you will likely want to go with Small. Best thing you can do is go to a website called Hockeygiant and they list how to measure her head and what size fall under what helmet.
