My grandson is 7 years old and after reading the 1 star reviews I'm not sure what size to order. Also, what about the color tinge I read about? I want a pure white outfit. What size is appropriate for a 7 year old?

I've got ZERO complaints with this gi. My son will be turning 7 in January. He has the size 000, and it fits him great. The top is almost tailor made, and the pants a little short, but not a problem. The color is bright, brilliant, pure white. There is a 7 year old in his class that appears to be a foot taller. I would say that my son is on the small side. Unless your grandson is really small, I would recommend a 00

My grandson is 7 and is perfect for him, but he is not a big kid, I will say 6 to 8 years old

We got the adult set and my grandson was 10 1/2. He loves them. I would say since your son is 12, the adult set would be better so you don't have to turn around and get another set in a year or two.

My grandson was 7 & about same weight/height...I bought him the medium, and it fit perfectly....he loves his outfit, wears it all the time...a great product for the little football lover! Good luck!

We purchased the small youth size for our grandsons - they were very big on them at ages 3 and 4 but still fun. If I had to guess, I would say they are about a boys size 7.

When I ordered these for my grandson the size was given. But if your husband "breathes in" and his measurement is 30-31 I would go with medium to be safe............however if he is like 28 or 29 then the small might be a better option........check with the company ad and see if it doesn't give the measurement and/or a place to get in touch with them.........it has been a couple of years ago now since I bought from them..............Merry Christmas

The medium size I ordered might work. It was a snug fit on my great-grandson & he is just 6.

My grandson is 2 years and two months and weighs in that range and a one is a bit big on him. Some people say to buy two or three and then return those that do not fit, but I would think a size one or two would do. I am not an expert, you could also try calling O'Neill's surf shop to ask them, but I bought a two first and it was too big, so then I bought a one and it is still a bit large.

I have only had experience with the small and the medium, but I can say that our grandson is 5 and about 43-45 lbs. and fits perfectly in the medium. Next summer I feel certain we will need large. Hope it helps.

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.

My kids have been boating for a long time and have always used Lil' Legends vests they are now 7 and 9 so I don't remember the sizes they used first. For purpose, quality and looks they can't be beat. They have a tag with size recommendations, please make sure you do the homework on which one will work best for you kid's age/size.

My grandson is 7 and about 55 lbs and this will probably be a little big. Most imports run small, I'd look at an adult small and he could have a little room to grow.

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 grandson is 7 yrs old and 80 lbs now and can still use his but I think that I would suggest 70 lbs and under. He got his 2 years ago so he probably was around 50 lbs. My granddaughter has one and she's 5 yrs old and around 40-50 lbs, (a little chubby) but she really rocks on hers. This brand is the best out there, I've checked them all and they're the best.

My son is 7 years old and is tall but thin. We ordered the small and it fits great with layers underneath. He may even be able to wear next season.

My grandson is 7 years old, and it fits him great, not sure on all the specifics, but he is of average height. It will be of good use for a couple of years. hope this helps.

I purchased this as a gift for a 3yr old, who is tall for her age. I know they would be big on my 2yr old, who also is tall for her age. It is, I believe, recommended for sizes 4-6. You'd have to judge by your granddaughter's size. If I remember correctly it's all elastic waists. You could alter them if you're quick with a sewing machine but not sure it's worth it. It also contains quite a few small items/accessories I would not want my 2yr old using, although you could just withhold them. Good luck finding something for this age group. I've been looking and it's very difficult. There definitely is a gap in the market. I purchased this as a gift for a 3yr old, who is tall for her age.
