How to Use This Size Chart
Before consulting the chart, take accurate measurements of the child. Use a soft measuring tape for the best results.
Weight: Weigh the child without shoes or heavy clothing. This is the most critical metric for infants.
Height: Have the child stand straight against a wall without shoes. Measure from the floor to the top of their head.
Chest: Measure under the arms around the fullest part of the chest.
Waist: Measure around the natural waistline (usually slightly above the belly button).
Hips: For older children (Sizes 4+), measure around the fullest part of the hips.
Important Sizing Tips
- Size Up: Children grow quickly; if a child is between sizes, it is almost always safer to choose the larger size.
- Brand Variance: Always check a specific brand’s unique size chart, as “vanity sizing” or slim/husky fits can differ significantly from general standards.
- Shrinkage: Cotton garments often shrink 3-5% after the first wash, so factor this into the fit.
FAQ

What are children's clothing sizes?
Children’s sizes are divided into four main categories based on age and development. Baby sizes range from Newborn to 24 Months. Toddler sizes use a “T” (2T to 5T) and allow room for diapers. Little Kid sizes range from 4 to 6X/7. Big Kid (Youth) sizes range from 7 to 16 or XS to XL.
Is size 4 the same as 5T?
No, they are different sizes. Size 4 is a “Little Kid” size designed for an average four-year-old who is potty trained. 5T is a “Toddler” size for a five-year-old. 5T is generally larger than Size 4. However, 5T is cut wider for a rounder toddler shape, while Size 4 is leaner.
Is size 2T and 24 months the same?
No, the fit is different. 24 Months is designed for babies who may still be crawling. It has a rounder fit for bulky diapers and usually snaps at the bottom. 2T is for toddlers who are walking upright. It has a slimmer silhouette, longer sleeves, and no snaps.
How to understand kids clothing sizes?
Always measure the child’s height and weight. Do not rely on age alone, as children grow at different rates. Compare these measurements to the brand’s specific size chart. If a child falls between two sizes, it is always safer to size up.
Is a 4T a youth XS?
No, a 4T is smaller than a Youth XS. A 4T fits a toddler who is approximately 38 to 41 inches tall. A Youth Extra Small (XS) typically corresponds to a size 4 or 5 “Little Kid” size. The XS is designed for a taller, older child with a more mature body shape.
