3 useful tips for choosing the right size of children's clothing:

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.
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 parameters such 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.
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.

In order to choose the correct size of children's clothing by age, the table will not help if you do not know three simple rules, we will tell you about them:

firstly, as a rule, online stores hold systematic seasonal sales that allow parents to save money on clothes for children. But what if different manufacturers have different size charts, which radically differ from the Russian one? In such situations, it is necessary not to take risks and not to buy a “pig in a poke”, but to convert the size range, for example, USA to Russian, according to our table.
secondly, you should not choose clothes according to age, since European age parameters most often do not coincide with Russian ones. Therefore, it is best to focus on the child’s individual parameters: girth of the chest, head, hips, height, stride, and so on. As a rule, a Russian height of 116 cm can correspond to a Jewish height of 110 cm or 120 cm.
thirdly, it is best to choose the sizes of children's clothing up to one year old for growth, since in the first 3 months they quickly gain weight and grow. After 2 years, this process occurs a little slower, therefore, it will be possible to buy clothes that fit in size.

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 girth - a measuring tape is pulled through the armpits, shoulder blades and nipple line;
The inseam is the measured length from the inside of the thigh 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).

In order to choose the right size of children's clothing, you should know the following parameters of the child:

waist circumference,
hip girth,
chest circumference,
step,
the length of the sleeve,
neck circumference,
hand girth.

When choosing clothes for your child, pay attention not only to the table, but also to the fabric of the product. Sometimes, the chosen clothes can stretch out over time and become very big for the baby. Or vice versa, after washing it may shrink and become very small. During hot periods, it is best to buy children clothes made from natural fabrics, in which the child will not sweat.

In winter, it is better to buy clothes a floor or one size larger so that you can wear something else. This applies to pants and sweaters.

Many manufacturers advise purchasing clothes made from linen, but for some children it can be “prickly.” Therefore, before purchasing it from an online store, it is advisable to check its compatibility in advance.

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. An important point when taking waist measurements with a centimeter tape is 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 correct choice of headdress for a child depends on the accuracy of this measurement. 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 mainly takes place during individual tailoring of items in the workshop. When measuring the circumference of the neck, the measuring tape is wrapped loosely around it.

The length of the sleeve

A measurement equal to the number of centimeters from the point of the base of the shoulder to the end of the thumb indicates the length of the sleeve. 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 uniforms, jeans, etc.

Important recommendations for purchasing baby underwear:

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.
When measuring head circumference, 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.

Standard sizes of children's hats

Every parent cares not only about the health, but also the comfort of their baby, and strives to surround him with beautiful and practical things. Hats are important elements of a child's wardrobe, which are designed to prevent hypothermia or protect from direct sunlight.

To choose a hat or panama hat that will fit well on the head and will not fall off at the first sudden movement, you need to know the correct parameters of the child. They are measured along a trajectory: the line above the eyebrows, the middle of the back of the head. Next, the obtained metric data is compared with the table values and the size of the headdress is determined.

The photo below shows the current size range of hats for 2021.

Age	Head volume, cm
0-3 months	35-40
3-6 months	42-44
6-12 months	44-46
1-2 years	46-48
2-3 years	48-50
3-4 years	50-52
4-5 years	52-54
5-8 years	54-56
8-10 years	56-58
over 10 years old	58-60

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to measure head circumference. In this case, you can use a table that determines the size of the headdress based on the ratio of the child’s height and age.
