US Size guide — Children
With the charts below you can find your child’s US clothing size. The US size is based on either a) the child’s weight and length in pounds and inches, or b) on specific measurements (chest, waist and hip).
Baby sizes in the US are based on the age of the child. However, since babies often vary in size, it’s better to base the size on the baby’s weight and height. The chart below can help you find your baby’s correct size.
For toddlers and small children, use the first chart (for both boys and girls). For older children, use the respective charts for girls and boys.
Note: These charts are only guides to finding your child’s clothing size. Sizes may vary between different brands.
