Clothing Sizes

Sizing Chart Children: Your child's correct size is best determined by weight (newborn through toddler sizes - unless your baby's unusually long and thin). Infant’s clothing is designed with plenty of room for diapers, while toddler clothes need less room for that. Once you reach the children sizes, height is the best gauge.

 

                      Size            Height (in.)           Weight (lbs)

Newborn

                     0-3 mo         up to 22                up to 12

                     3-6 mo         21 to 24               10 to 15

                     6-9 mo         23 to 25               14 to 17

 

Infant

                     12 mo          23 to 27               17 to 21 

                     18 mo          26 to 30               21 to 25

                     24 mo          29 to 33               25 to 29

 

Toddler

                     2T                32 to 34               25 to 29

                     3T                34 to 36               29 to 33

                     4T                36 to 38               33 to 37

 

Children          4                 38 to 40               35 to 39

                       5                 40 to 43               39 to 42

                       6                 43 to 46               42 to 47

                       6X              46 to 48               47 to 54

                       7                 48 to 51               54 to 58

 

However, if you don't know the weight and height, a good rule of thumb for the majority of American children is to take the child's age and double it. For example, a 2 month baby would be in a 3-6 mo, a 4 month baby would be in a 6-9 mo, a 6 month baby would be in a 12 mo, a 12 month baby would be in a 24 mo or 2T. Once your child gets bigger the size difference tends to be less drastic, however. You usually only have to go up a size or two in the Toddler and Children range.
