It seems that most comments have been that the suit runs small. From the sizing chart provided my son would be a size 8. So do I buy a 10????

I have bought 4 suits (grandsons) and they were all correct sizes, however the white shirts that come with them are small. The white shirts size 6 (I bought 2) were fine, but the white shirts size 4 (I bought 2 of these also) were small. One of them was tight around the neck and so it was very hard to button. Grandson kept unbuttoning it because it was to tight. The shirts were also a little short at the bottom so not much to tuck into the pants. I hope that helps.

I ordered my son the exact size he was....a 2T. The waist is thin but had elastic. If he's husky I'd go a size bigger. The measurement chart helped alot

I would follow the measurements on the sizing chart. My son is normally a 3T but according to the sizing chart his measurements indicated we needed a 4T. I'm glad I measured because the 4T fit perfect.

Your son is longer than my daughter (25 inches) but weighs the same. I think the length would force you to move to the next size quickly. I would probably go with the next size.

I have purchased this suit in two sizes - for two sons. Although the youth XL may fit, a men's small or medium may be a better choice. The legs may be a little long right now but will allow room to grow and you can tuck the bottoms into your socks.

Order then email the size. There will be contact seller on your order for the suit.

It will be perfect, no too big. But he will have some growing room. My son is 11 also and in a 10/12. I think the large is the right size to get. My son loves it! And he is picky about how things fit:-)

I bought size small for my 8 year old son who is slim. I had my son try the protector at the karate studio to see which size fits. Then I bought it here at Amazon as they are too expensive at the studio. This seller is also very good responding to emails. I emailed the seller as the studio said he needed size 2 while they use small, medium, large here.Here is a conversion chart that I got from the seller: Child = 1 Small = 2 Medium = 3 Large = 4 Extra Large = 5

Hi Karry, I wore the same suit (size 9 ) at about 160 lbs. I am thinking you are probably between a 9 and 11. Amazon is so good about returns. I might suggest ordering an 11 first. Hope this helps:)

Hi Jennifer, rather than basing it on my child's weight, I looked at the O'neill site and actually measured my child based on their sizing of chest, waist, etc. I found that she was in between two sizes based on these measurements so I got the larger so she could grow into it. And it happened to not correlate with her weight. The suit is thick and has a decent stretch to it, but the only thing to make sure when measuring is also the height (more so than weight), so that the suit does not tug in the crotch area or end up hurting once it's fully zipped. I hope this helps!

I would guess a size 3 would work well but buying a 3 and/or 4 and trying it is the best way to find out, and return the one you don't take of keep them both if the 3 fits and you have the 4 for when he grows into it. Otherwise return both, but the other answers are correct to look at the O'Neill site and make sure the height is right. If it is too loose it will let cold water in and circulate, if it is too tight it will be very painful and useless. It is a great wetsuit for the toddlers, best I ever saw. BD

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

I purchased my son a "12" and it fit and he is 5 "1". I think your son my be in between sizes? I would get the 12 and if it doesn't fit the return it to amazon and get the 14. Lastly, buying wet suits on-line is REALLY hard.

I bought the size our Grandson would use at his class. The Grandson was 8 at the time I bought his and since you son is 7 I would buy a size 3. He will be able to wear it for several years before you will have to get another size. Then when you have to buy a bigger size you can usually sell it to some one in the class.

No. you need the next size up. My boy rides this version. he is tall & skinny for his age - 4 and a half. by the time he is 6 he will need the next size up too. Hi older sister who is 10 is too big for it. (I will be buying him the next size up one too! he loves it. very fast & great fun)

The sizes tend to run larger than normal. So if he wears a medium a small could fit. Large would be way to big. Keep in mind its to jump around in and you want it loose. Its an awesome product for the money.

there was a sizing chart when I got my suit. It runs smaller than usual. I wear a size 2 or 4 and I ordered a med. and it fit good. I wash it but do not dry in dryer

Go by the chest size on the size chart. I bought a medium for our son at that age.

This is a racing suit, so it is best to go by the measurements provided by the manufacturer. Unfortunately Amazon does not display this sizing chart and we can't put it in this comment, but a quick Google search should turn the sizing chart up.
