I read the reviews about the item being small so I ordered a larger size.  I have an 18 month old so I ordered the med but it was STILL too small.  It is also ripping in the seams after the first wear. Satisfactory for a floatation device, wings are much better for this age.

My newly 2 yr old son weights 31 pounds and is 37 inches tall and this suit did not fit him at all.  It was to small, we could not get the straps up over his shoulders.  Very disappointed.

I knew that I had to return this product as soon as I opened it.   My husband refused to allow me to put such a ridiculous looking swim trainer on our grandson.  It looked as if he were strapped up with styrofoam sticks of dynamite or a six-pack of beer!  And it was way too small.  We never used the product because of its ridiculous appearance.

I was so excited when I saw this suit, as one of my sons learned to swim with a similar model 25 years ago.  I heeded the advice for my grandson about the sizing running small.  He weighs less than 25 lbs., but I bought a medium.  Even so, THAT size is incredibly tight and was painful to put on.  It also tipped him on his face.  All in all, I was very disappointed in the suit; it wasn't as good as the one my son used years ago.  I doubt my grandson will even let me try to put it on him again, it was that awful an experience.

First of all the sizes are too small, and second it is way to bulky for kids to learn to swim. We sent it right back.

Both my sister and I grew up wearing this suit.  Our mom started us out with 6 floats when we were one and by the time we were 3 we were swimming alone.  We joined swim teams at 5 and ended up swimming in college.  I was so excited to find this suit for my son that I bought it right away.  I was especially happy to find it for such a great price, my mother paid $35 for each one over 30 years ago!  Based on reviews I bought him a medium (even though he should have worn a small) we wrestled him into it but is was WAY TOO SMALL.  I am getting him a large (he is 30 pounds and 33 inches, 18 months old)  Swimoutlet was great... they have sent our exchange to our vacation destination since we are leaving before the new suit will get to us.
