Children's clothing sizes by height. Children's clothing sizes by age

First, you need to measure his height and chest volume; measurements should be made using his underwear. When you come to buy, pay attention to the label. The labeling adopted in Russia indicates: height, chest and waist circumference (for adults - hip circumference). There is a standard table of sizes and heights, according to which each size corresponds to three heights (for example, standard size 68 corresponds to heights 134, 140 and 146). The child’s height may differ from the standard by +-3cm. If the child’s chest volume is between the standard ones, then choose the closest size upward.

It is almost impossible to accurately predict how a child’s body will develop. Above we cited factors affecting the growth of a child. So the figures given in the table are averages. And sometimes the difference turns out to be quite big. If your child's height does not exactly correspond to the tables above, there is no reason to worry! We should not forget that in general the sizes for a child are selected individually. And many parents prefer to buy clothes for their children to grow into, especially for younger children. Genetics and heredity are the main future indications of a child’s growth! And if your child’s height does not correspond to our tables, then do not be alarmed!

Creating a children's wardrobe for your child can sometimes be difficult, and this is due to the difficulty in choosing a size. To avoid making mistakes when purchasing, it is worth studying the size tables for different age categories. They will tell you how to determine the size correctly, and the correspondence table will help you understand the required “dimensions” with a minimum error.

1. Foreign online stores attract attention with a large assortment of children's clothing, and seasonal discounts allow you to save the family budget. But since foreign manufacturers have different standards from Russian ones, parents often risk purchasing things that are not the right size for their children. So, translating US sizes into Russian, you can see that the ratio differs not only in the number system, but also in the markings.
2. A table of sizes by age will help you choose clothes for your baby, made according to European standards. But mainly parents should pay attention to such parameters as height and chest girth. Sometimes the appropriate size may be one or two sizes larger than the child's height. This is especially noticeable when choosing T-shirts, tight-fitting T-shirts from underwear sets; they are sewn to a minimum chest circumference.
3. Clothes sizes for children from 0 and older will help you choose clothes for your child to grow into. In the first three months, children add size every 1-1.5 months. After three months to a year, babies grow a size more often - every 3-3.5 months. Then growth slows down slightly; from 1 year to 4 years, babies add size every six months. And children over four years old grow by about 1 size over the entire year.

When measuring a child’s parameters to select clothes, the following must be measured:

• waist circumference - measured with a measuring tape without a retracted abdomen at the narrowest point of the waist (visually);
• hip circumference - measurement is carried out by applying a measuring tape to the most protruding points (going through the buttocks);
• chest circumference - a measuring tape is pulled through armpits, shoulder blades and nipple line;
• crotch seam is the measured length with inside hips from the groin to the ankle (edge ​​of the product). The crotch seam helps to find out the size with greater accuracy when choosing trousers, rarely when choosing underwear;
• sleeve length - measured with a tape with centimeters, starting from the shoulder joint to the wrist (along the entire length of the arm).

How to correctly measure a child's parameters?

Height

Sizes of clothing for children according to height are indicated by Russian and European manufacturers. The height measurement is always taken first. For a child from birth to 2 years old, this parameter is measured in a horizontal position using a special meter ruler or a fixed centimeter tape. Height must be measured from head to toe.

For children over two years old, it is easier to measure their height in a vertical position near the doorway, leaving a mark at the level of the top of the head with a pencil and then measuring it from the floor with the same measuring tape.

Waist circumference

It is measured in the same way as it is done for an adult - a tape with centimeters is fixed at the thinnest point of the waist. Important point When taking waist measurements with a centimeter tape, it is necessary that the child does not suck in his stomach.

Bust/hip

A measuring tape wraps around the child's chest or hips, applying to the most protruding points. In this case, be sure to take into account the protrusion of the abdomen.

Head/neck circumference

The accuracy of this measure depends right choice headdress for a child. When taking measurements of the volume of the head, the tape is drawn starting from the middle of the forehead, along the most prominent places. Taking measurements of the neck circumference usually takes place when tailoring items individually in a workshop. When measuring the circumference of the neck, the measuring tape is wrapped loosely around it.

Sleeve length

Measure, equal to the number centimeters from the point of the base of the shoulder to the end of the thumb indicates the sleeve length parameter. It is measured with the child in an upright position using a soft measuring tape.

Leg length

The length of the trouser legs (crotch seam) is determined by measuring the distance with a soft measuring tape from the groin area to the ankle. It is necessary to measure the inseam when sewing school uniform, jeans, etc.

• Brightly colored fabrics can cause an allergic reaction, so children's underwear under 3 years old should be in calm, neutral shades.
• Underwear made of natural fiber (cotton) is highly breathable, does not irritate the skin and is very pleasant to the body, which is important when worn by children of all ages.
• Decorative elements (elastic bands, ruffles, lace) on underwear can be beautiful, but with constant contact with children's skin they bring discomfort and provoke irritation. It is best to choose high-quality sets with seamless technology - they provide the necessary body ventilation and are very comfortable to wear.

What is important to pay attention to when measuring and choosing the size of hats for children:

• The size of a cap or hat is determined very simply - you need to measure the circumference of your head with a centimeter tape. The age-appropriate size of the headdress will exactly match the circumference of the head in centimeters.
• It is important to use the graduated tape correctly. It should not dangle loosely or be too tight.
• In the first 12 months of life, a child’s head grows by about 1 cm every month, so a headdress purchased for a 3-month-old baby will become frankly small after 4-5 weeks.
• In boys and girls of infant age, the head circumference (and, accordingly, the size of the headdress) may differ slightly.
• Significant deviations from the table indicators are an important reason to seek advice from your local pediatrician.

1. Measure your child's parameters (hips, chest, height) immediately before purchasing. Take measurements of your child wearing underwear. The accuracy of the measurements will make it possible to choose the size that best suits your baby.
2. During the first year of life, children gradually manage to wear 5-6 clothing sizes. Take this into account when buying things for a baby - the child will grow quickly, so buy sizes with a margin.
3. If possible, buy demi-season and winter clothing sets only after trying them on your child. The sizes of children's clothing up to one year are especially important to consider when purchasing separate warm overalls. The chosen model should be moderately free, not restrict the child’s movements, and not be too large. Jackets and coats allow a large air flow to pass through, which is critical for health at low temperatures, so they should not be purchased “for growth.”
4. When choosing clothes from French brands, pay attention to the correspondence of the presented size and the height of your child - as a rule, things from France are “small” by 1 unit.
5. Germany and Italy produce clothes for children, mostly in large sizes, so you can safely take your child an item in a size or smaller - if you plan to wear the purchased product immediately after purchase.
6. Children's clothing from China often differs from size chart to a lesser extent, so you shouldn’t trust it. If fitting is not possible (for example, when purchasing in an online store), contact the seller to clarify the specific dimensions of the item. Alternatively, you can specify the child’s parameters and, together with an online consultant, select the appropriate size.
7. American sizes often depend not only on the child’s growth parameters, but also on his gender. Therefore, manufacturers often indicate two different clothing conformity tables: for boys and girls. Also, US sizes differ from other sizes in letter designation (this applies to sizes for children over 2 years old).
8. European and Russian sizes are focused on height, therefore, knowing the child’s parameters, it is not difficult to choose the right thing. However, the size chart for clothes from Europe is designed for larger babies - manufacturers are trying to make things for babies freer, without restricting movement. This should be taken into account when choosing models of children's trousers, dresses, etc.

You can find information about it in a special section of our website.

Modern shopping is very different from what it was in the second half of the last century. Along with the new millennium, the era of gadgets came, and they filled our entire lives. We are increasingly making purchases online. How much more convenient is this?! Instead of tormenting your child by taking him around huge shopping centers, it is better to choose everything while sitting at the computer, while the child goes about his business, and maybe looks at the models with his mother.

Correctly taken measurements are half of a successful purchase.

In order for a purchase to fit a child, you need to be able to take measurements correctly, and only then compare the results obtained with the size table on the seller’s website or, if one is not provided, look at the table just below.

Most often, the clothing label shows a number that corresponds to the child’s height. However, this parameter is not enough, especially for young children under 4 years old. In order to determine children's clothing sizes by age up to 2 years, you need to do the following:

• Place the child on a hard surface (a table is ideal).
• Move the table close to the wall, lay the child down, pressing his head against the wall.
• Try to align the child’s torso and legs as much as possible.
• Make a mark at the level of the heel.
• Measure the distance from the wall to the heel mark, the result obtained is the baby’s height.

In order to correctly determine children's clothing sizes by age from two years, you need to do the following sequence of actions:

• Place the child against a flat wall, press his heels against the wall, keeping his body level.
• A ruler or book is placed vertically on the child’s head and a notch is made.
• Measure the distance from the floor to the notch, which will be the child’s height.

By comparing the measured height with the size table, we will get the appropriate one. But there are tables that indicate both chest and waist circumference, in addition, hip circumference and sleeve length, as well as the length of the trouser seam in order to better find out the size of children's clothing by age. The size chart from 0 to 5 years is shown below:
