Size chart children – which child sizes for which age – baby – children’s world

Children grow quickly. Young children in particular grow out of their clothes so quickly. Often it turns out for one even for family and friends the question of what size of child do I need now or in six months. We have published size charts for children to help you choose the right size for children. We go into the classic sizes, i.e. shoes, hats and body / overalls. Since without the international sizes for children there would be no list complete, of course we also added them at the end.

General information about children’s sizes

As with everyone, the size of babies and children fluctuates. Some are rather large, others are rather small. Of course, this affects the choice of the right clothing size, shoe size or hat size. All size tables listed here are therefore only guidelines and correspond to the average.

In addition, every clothing turns out differently. Therefore, in case of doubt, this means measuring or trying on all. But trying on is often very tiring, especially for small children. Therefore, we advise you to buy clothes one or two sizes larger. The child will grow out quickly enough anyway.

So it is better to always buy one size larger and always push the size in front of you when buying a new one. This way the clothes always fit.

Baby sizes vs child sizes

The topic here is not the initial equipment for babies. The target group for this article are all babies / children from around 2 years. For the slightly younger ones, we have also created a page specifically for baby sizes.

Size chart: What different child sizes are there?

Nothing is nicer than when a new person is greeted in a circle of friends or family. Many bring the cute little rompers, bodysuits, socks or hats to their birth. For many, this raises the question of the right baby size or child size. You then stand perplexed in the shop and first have to find a salesperson who is looking for the right one. It is easier if you take a look at our size charts.

When babies are born into the family and friends, the particularly small, sweet bodysuits, socks or hats are often given away for birth. Anyone who has not had much experience with baby clothes is at a loss in the business. Then it is time to wait for a competent saleswoman and in case of doubt the tedious exchange or giving back starts.

It’s better to take a look at our size charts for children. Saves time and you always have the right clothing size for every age.

Gift tip: If you want to buy something for the parents or the child, you should rather choose a size too large. On the one hand, the risk that the baby or child does not fit in is minimized. On the other hand, you have to ask yourself what parents / babies will get most when they want clothes. Exactly clothes for the here and now. But who needs a lot of rompers from which the baby grew out in 1-2 months anyway? Rather, one size larger, so you have something in the future and you can be sure that the romper will be put on.

As an alternative to clothing, the toy is for 1 year olds or the toy for 2 year olds.

What to look for when buying a hat?

Children’s size guide: a popular aid when buying hats

With a hat there is really only one thing to watch out for: it has to fit. This means the right child size for hats corresponds exactly to the head circumference. The indication in the size chart Respectively always on the head circumference in centimeters. Measuring is usually not a problem for the elderly, here the motif of the hat is often more important than the right fit. For the younger ones, we have created a guide to measuring the circumference of the head in babies.

To measure, simply put the measuring tape on the widest part of the head. Measure over the ears, because they should also be covered.

tip: Some hats have a small elastic band. This allows the size to be varied. So you can buy a slightly larger hat. You can use it to bridge one or the other phase of growth without buying new ones. The cap grows with you, so to speak.

Which shoe size fits my child?

Pay attention to the correct child sizes for shoes

Of course, the most important thing about shoes is that they fit. Because otherwise it is development of the child. If the shoes are too big, the baby or child will often stumble. This is especially bad if you are just trying to walk for the first time. This makes learning to walk much longer.

But too small is not good either. The pressure on the feet is not only uncomfortable. Children also do without romping around and do not have enough space to grow.

An old rule is that there is always a thumb’s width in front of the toes. Of course, this only works if you can try on the shoes. But this is the only way to ensure that the shoes do not squeeze and sometimes last for half a year. If in doubt, the sellers in the shoe store can provide advice and assistance. If you order online you have to rely on size charts.

With babies, there are a few more things to watch out for. We have a detailed article on baby shoe sizes and everything that goes with it.
