My son was 22 months and about 26lbs when he first used this. It was a little big on him. But still worked great.

my daughter is 2 years old and about same weight but shes on the taller side it was a little lose on her but worked fantastic at the hotel pools.Hope this helps. There is an adjustment we have it set the smallest it will go

Yes, it will have room for growth but will work. My son uses and he's 25 pounds. It's great to have. Very helpful.

I believe the product is made for children starting at 30 lbs, so I would use with caution. You could get it and see how snugly it fits to be sure. If it's too big you could just wait several months and try it again.

how did it work on your 18 month old? Mine is 16, 25lbs. was wondering if it would work. He's always in the water and loves water....

I would say yes if s/he is already comfortable in the water and quite strong. But for most 18 month olds I would say no. Id try something like this Swim School Aqua Tot Trainer

I have a 19 month old that weighs 23lbs. We tried on a friend's Puddle Jumper and it fit a little loose but it still help him float and enjoy himself. Off course, you need to keep a constant eye on your child even with a life vest. I don't think it will fall off, my child is on the slim side and it did not slide off his arms.

I have this and it is perfect for kids 1-3 20lbs- 40lbs. My 4 yr old daughter was to heavy

My kids are between 80 and 90lbs (age 8 and 11) and it fits perfectly. The pack is very light and can be made quite small. I so think it would be comfortable for much smaller kids, probably up to early teen.

Yes, if your child is tiny. Otherwise, I'd say it is more suited for 1-2 year olds. More of a baby float.

I would say it depends on how old the child is. I got this pool for my granddaughter early in the summer, she is 18 months and has pretty much out grown it.

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...

It might be a little big. I used it for mine that was about that weight. It slid down when she was not completely in the water. But when she was completely in the water and swimming around, it worked well and it gave her confidence to swim. She used it last year when she was just 20-21 lbs. She is now about 30lbs and used it this past month on vacation too. Great product. She jumps right not the water on her own when wearing it.

I wouldn't recommend it. This one will float if there is enough water in the tub, making it unstable. If you want to bathe the older child at the same time, it will be a tight fit. You could nathe the older child with the water inside the smaller inflatable tub.

Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds. We use the RNP and aren't sure how much longer we will be able to use it. It only goes up to 25 pounds, but your child could outgrow it for length. We still have some head room, but we are thinking he will have transition by the end of August as we use this for his primary sleeping space due to acid reflux. So, you might be cutting it close if you decided to get it. Also, it travels VERY easily! We have taken it on many trips. It breaks down into a few pieces and could fit into a large suitcase. Have you looked at using a peapod?? KidCo PeaPod Portable Travel Bed with Air Pump - Red In any case, have a great time on your trip!

I would imagine there is a weight limit. My daughter is about 25 and almost 2 and it seems like it is starting to get a little small for her. We haven't gotten to try it in a pool or lake this summer yet.

I think it would be great especially if they like being in the water , Mine weighs 104 he's a water baby and he gets in cools off, drinks it is a great investment. Made very very well.

Well my one year old seems to be growing out of it already she's about 30' tall. To give her space I don't blow up the back rest anymore. This is great for traveling and for short term use. My one year old still enjoys herself in it. It holds her weight just fine still. It's about 30' long in length but since she sits up she has more leg room. If she has leg room it would be a great product to have while traveling. I have used this 6 months and up.

I would not put two kids with that age difference in it. I don't think that would work well, and depending on the size of your six year old, they may not both fit. I would say it is definitely worth carry around for a trip for the 19 month old. Can't imagine not having it for traveling with little ones.

Yes, absolutely! We still travel and use this vest for our 4 years old (~35lbs) daughter.

I would be comfortable with my one year old riding in it. It wouldn't be an overly cushy ride but I think if he meets the weight and height requirements and you make sure to install (and fasten him in) properly, it would work. I probably would feel more comfortable with an 18 month old in it, but I think it would work for a 1 year old and be safe.

I would not recommend this for a child that age. I mange an indoor pool and this is a great product that we get a lot of use out of, but children older (larger) that a two-year old are big enough and strong enough to easily tip this toy over. Once tipped over, an older child's legs get caught in the leg holes, and they get trapped upside down. For safe pool play, I would recommend the Supersoft Life Jacket from Texas recreation (fun, comfortable, and safe) and of course constant adult supervision. =) Swimways also makes a regular kid or adult sized Spring Float that would be safer when paired with a lifejacket. Hope that helps!
