Hi,I have a 10 year old that is 4'9 &amp; but only weighs 80 pounds which is 20 pounds less than the size suggestion for a 4'9 100 lb. Do I order anyway?

My 9 year old is 4'11", weighs about 80 lbs, and fits a size 1 perfectly. Hope that helps.

my son is 11 & the thinks this board is very large. When I did my research, they suggested this size for kids just above his size/weight/age. I chose it because the site suggested you go up if you are straddling areas. My son is a beginning beginner too. I suggest a size down for your son unless he's really tall. (My son is 4'9"). As far as the street goes - I've had no complaints from him but he's still learning (just got his in April). Good luck :)

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

Yes! This was bought for my 4 year old who is 40 inches tall! No problems - 38 will be perfect!

Its really all about weight. This is probably pretty close to allow for some growth. We bought the medium for our sons 11th birthday and he's about 80 lbs. the zap web site has some guidelines on sizing as well.

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

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 it is more of a size thing rather than age. My daughter is tiny, but still on it and has been for over a year now. I wouldn't go more than probably 80 pounds on it.

I bought this for my ten year old that is 5ft tall and 95 lbs. this could fit him for at least another year or 2. Hope that helps

Claire: We've had special orders for 4 and 5 year olds and jerseys came out nice. Everything has to be scaled down and the back name has to limited. If you have the time, please write back and let me know how wide you want the jersey, length of the sleeve from the shoulder seam to the wrist and length of the jersey. I would get recommend getting something a little big for him now so he can grow into it. Once we start the project, you can not cancel the order since it would be a special order. thanks Carl

My daughter just turned 4 and is about 39 1/2 in tall. with the twelve she could put both feet on the ground and with no training wheels to start she looked more comfortable. I look at it like trading one for the other she fit the 14 a little better but more balance and control starting and stopping on the 12 which I think is more important. I would go 12 especially if you have younger kids. We have a younger daughter so if she only gets one year out of it no big deal

My son is not quite 40 lbs. it works perfectly for him, but I'm not sure about a 100 lb child. Sorry I can't be more help.

Since this item costs a considerable amount, I'd go with the 158lb & up. It will take you a while to get used to them and you'll have them for years to come. My son is 6'2" and 147 pounds and wears/plays with his periodically and has no complaints. Plus, his heavier friends can use them without concern of overweight limits and breaking.

I purchased the 158-198 lbs stilts; I am 165lbs. Though they have excellent spring, you have to put some force into them to get the desired propulsion (Your son will also have to get used to jumping and bringing the weight down on his heals instead of his toes). But once you get bouncing, you really get some air (mid air balance is sketchy at first). Just note, they are a bit heavy, so he shouldn't expect to be back flipping right away.Otherwise..great purchase, I was just using them this weekend.He's basically at the max capacity of the lighter model, but if he'll be gaining any weight, I woulnd't recommend the lighter version, since they could break.Hope this was helpfulHappy holidays!
