Children between 2 and 5 years old (so called toddlers) grow fast. But be aware that both too small and oversized clothes can be uncomfortable wearing. Kids are active, and they need well-fitting clothes to feel well.
Child Size vs. Toddler Size
-Some child sizes are narrower and longer
-Some toddler sizes are roomier (beacause of diapers)
-Some children and toddler sizes are the same, but the garments have different cuts/styles
Keep this in mind when shopping for a 4 or 5 years old child, that actually often can use both sizing systems.
How to Measure Toddler Size
To determine US Toddler Clothing Size, you will need to take three simple body measurements:
1. Height: Body height measured when standing upright against a wall.
2. Chest: Measurement: Measure circumference around chest at widest point (under arms).
3. Waist: Measurement: Circumference around toddler's waistline (just above the navel/belly button)
Use your body measurements to determine Toddler Clothing Size from the US Toddler Clothing Size Chart below. These measurements are more to likely to help you find the correct size than the kid's age.
