Kids' Clothes by Age

Age is how most parents shop, and it is also the least reliable measurement there is. Two children born the same week can be a full size apart, so the age on a label is an average rather than a fit. The chart below maps age to height and to EU size, which is what actually determines whether something fits.

Pick a band below for what changes at that stage, from nappy access and tummy time to school runs and dressing themselves. If you are buying a gift, the short answer is almost always to size up.
