Complete guide to buying and choosing the right size for children's clothing

Shopping for children's clothing can be an exciting but also challenging experience. With children growing rapidly and the wide range of options available, it is essential to know how to choose the right clothes , both in terms of style and size. This guide will help you make smart purchases, ensuring that your child is comfortable and fashionable.

Knowing Your Sizes

Newborn sizes

Infant sizes are usually based on age, but it's also important to consider your child's weight and height. Here's a general guide:

  • 0-3 months: 50-60 cm, 3-5 kg
  • 3-6 months: 60-66 cm, 5-7 kg
  • 6-9 months: 66-72 cm, 7-9 kg
  • 9-12 months: 72-78 cm, 9-11 kg

Children's sizes

Once your child is over a year old, sizes start to be based more on height and weight than age. Here are some general guidelines:

  • 1-2 years: 80-86 cm, 11-13 kg
  • 2-3 years: 86-92 cm, 13-15 kg
  • 3-4 years: 92-98 cm, 15-17 kg
  • 4-5 years: 98-104 cm, 17-19 kg

Sizes for larger children

For school-age children, sizes are often listed by age or in numbers (such as 5, 6, 7, etc.) and sometimes accompanied by a height measurement:

  • 5-6 years: 110-116 cm
  • 6-7 years: 116-122 cm
  • 7-8 years: 122-128 cm
  • 8-9 years: 128-134 cm
  • 9-10 years: 134-140 cm

How to measure a child

To ensure an accurate fit, it is important to take a few key measurements of your child:

  • Height: Measure from head to toe.
  • Chest: Measure the widest part of your chest.
  • Waist: Measure the narrowest part of your waist.
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips.

Tips for buying children's clothing

Quality of Materials

Babies’ skin is delicate, so it’s important to choose soft, breathable materials. Opt for natural fabrics like cotton, which is hypoallergenic and comfortable. Make sure the clothes are free of harmful chemicals.

Style and Functionality

Children should feel free to move and play. Choose clothes that are practical and functional, such as pants with an elastic waist, snaps for easy changing, and clothes without too many decorations that can come off.

Rapid Growth

Children grow quickly, so it is advisable to buy slightly larger clothes. This will ensure greater durability and comfort. However, avoid buying clothes that are too big, which could be uncomfortable or dangerous.

Seasonality

Consider the season your child will be wearing the clothes. For winter, look for warm, layered clothing. For summer, opt for lightweight, breathable clothing. Always shop a little ahead of the season to be prepared.
