Trouble getting a belt to fit my skinny son with kyphoscoliosis; the Aquajogger keeps riding up and the belt does not stay tight. Will this work?

It does ride up some. But the belt is adjustable and has sufficient length .

I was able to pull it tight enough where it would stay at their waist. However, the strap was long so we have to wrap it around several times so that they weren't tripping on it. Best belt I ever used!!

I wish i could help.. I have not seen that issue on my son. Is it too big/long for your 16mth old? Make sure its completely filled iwth air, and make sure the strap underneath is secure and not loose. That could help. :) Good Luck

It has 3 adjustments. But still may be at waist level for you. See if you can find it at a local store to check it out. Amazon had the best price.

I have a almost 3 year which works perfect for him except the strap imbetween the legs don't have much to grow but he loves it I also have a 15 month old and I haven't tried it with him yet but might work but my 15 month os only 20 lbs so might work with your son I'd def try it if he loves swimming freely it dodnt tip not even once for us and my son was all over in it splashing if any thing he would def grow into it quick def recommend it over a puddle jumper or whatever there called this seems to help keep there head out of the water no problem even when leaning forward

My husband is an adult male - 6', 185 lb - & the belt works great for him. Some modifications would have to be made to make it snug enough so that it doesn't slip & slide on a smaller body but it would be well worth the trouble & effort.

There is an adjustable belt under the body plate which we kept moving until our head stayed on the table as it was inverted. Also have you tried moving the height pin located on the side of the body plate? I know what you mean because my son is tall and his head hangs over the top when he is inverted. He tried to adjust it but had no luck. When he readjusted to almost 6 ft he could invert at all. Sorry, that's all I have. Good Luck!

This could be pertinent, depending on your build: I had trouble getting the shoulder straps to be narrow enough side-to-side. I'm 5'6" with a slim/avg build, and the straps just slipped off of my shoulders. Tightening them just made the pretty-stiff straps bend on their edges, so I returned it and got another carrier (Ergo) with softer/more closely set straps straps. Could be just me, though!

It might work if you can get it to fit snuggly. Good idea if you can get it to work. I use my pool tether daily and am very happy with it.

Yes girl, i can see where it's working on mine.. U have to stick to it and be consistent for better results! It's super cheap so make your purchase! U won't regret! I got my boyfriend one and he started this past Monday wearing on his morning jobs and told me he can see where the belt is gonna work! Good luck!

My technique is to click all the belts around the kid, then pull out away from the child on the chest clip before I pull the bottom adjuster. I find that pulling out like that tightens the lap belt section and also alligns the shoulder straps with their respective slots. Pulling the slack out is a bit easier after that. Also try adjusting the shoulder belt slots, I find that the belts slide best when the slots are one inch higher than the child's shoulder... Above or below that they tend to bind more. Adjust seasonally to account for clothing bulk...

I would think the large would work, but I am not sure. You might try it. If you have an aqua exercise location, they might use those belts and you could try them. The location I go to has two or three different sizes.

What worked for me was to make it snug enough to stay on and be comfortable but not tight. Good luck.

I know it is a little harder to do but you need to load the strap through the bottom of the buckle. While depressing the thumb tab you have to thread the strap from the middle on the bottom to the outside. That will take care of any slipping problems. I have a 400+ lb. friend that works out with me and never has a problem at all with them.

We ordered this swim belt to have on hand for guests who wanted extra flotation while swimming in the lake but choose to not wear a life jacket. An 11 year old boy who wears an XL adult life jacket (which fit snugly around his mid section) needed something larger than the youth size swim belt and he used this for swimming. It did not seem to ride up on him, it did develop a slight split where the belt passes through the foam, but he was jumping off the dock, doing cannonballs etc. while wearing it. My guess is that his "waist" is at least 32", maybe bigger. There was still a "tail" of the belt available if needed.

I've found those fitting higher up on the "waist" are better. I tried several brands before I found one that worked. All of them seem to run small so I'm not surprised to hear you're having troubles with an extra small. Good luck.

It is very tricky to adjust this seat. (before I start, make sure to check the manufacturers instructions, they are the tested way of doing this). My first recommendation is get it "close" to the correct tightness without your kid in the seat, then buckle your kid into the seat. When tightening, try pulling the tightening strap down then up - I have to pull quite hard. That may help. Otherwise return it like I did - it is not a good design in my opinion.
