My 8 year old 55lb son wears this for his swim practice in the winter.  Fits well but hard to take off.

Size: Feels too big

I ordered this for my almost 5 yr old and 6 year old girls to use in the Pacific Ocean for surf camp, boogie-boarding, snorkeling, etc.  I ordered the XS (4-5) for both of them based on the other reviews stating they ran big.  The suits were tall & big for my slim, taller girls. However, one suit left growing room for my very slim 6 yr. old, but the other was definitely big for my slim almost 5 yr. old.  Seems to be a very well made product and so easy to use.  We live in the hot, hot desert, so the cold ocean (65 degrees) is definitely uncomfortable for us.  They had a great time in the ocean because they could move easily and were so warm in their suits. They got so many compliments on being so cute in their matching pink wetsuits.  Everyone else had plain black! My girls loved the dolphin logo.  
The zipper padding does slip a bit, so be mindful when zipping the suit up to fully protect the neckline during activity.  Fantastic overall!  SwimOutlet.com customer service was fantastic - quickly and thoroughly answering the questions/concerns I had.  Standard shipping was speedy, too, which was also very important.

I ordered this for as a gift for my slim 9 yr. old nephew to use in the Pacific Ocean for boogie-boarding, snorkeling, etc.  I ordered the M (7-8) based on the other reviews.  It fit perfect! He loved it! Seems to be a very well made product and so easy for him to use.  He had a great time in the ocean because he could move easily and was so warm in this suit. The zipper padding does slip a bit, so when he zipped the suit himself and with all his movement in the ocean, the zipper ended up giving him a little rash on the back of his neck.  Ouch!  Have to definitely be mindful of that.  Great overall!

Our son loves the water to the point that he will stay in cool or cold pools and lakes long after his lips are blue with cold.  This wetsuit is perfect for keeping him warm while still allowing him to move freely.

I ordered the XS 4-5 years for my 6-year-old daughter, who weighs about 53 pounds. It was great! We brought it to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico in early January, when the ocean was chilly enough to produce goosebumps in us all. The Konfidence Shorty Wetsuit did just what we had hoped -- kept my daughter warm so she could play in the water & on the sand for much longer. She found it comfortable to wear, so she was happy. It's a little bulky to pack in the suitcase, but definitely worth the space. And, SwimOutlet shipped it fast -- it shipped out the same day I ordered it, which was amazing. Bonus: I had ordered 2 different wet suits, as we were leaving soon & I didn't have time to mess around. My daughter tried them both on, decided this one fit best. When I went to return the one she didn't choose, SwimOutlet's system was easy & painless, which was much appreciated.

It kept my son warm in the water and it fit him fine, not too tight and not baggy -- he is on the slim side.  A little tricky to put back on when it's wet. My son had to go to the bathroom and it was difficult to get it back on.
