Measuring
Most of the buyers are guided by the growth of the child. To independently measure this indicator, the baby should be placed against a vertical surface and using a square, mark the height of the child. Many manufacturers are targeting growth.

Russian parameters
Russian manufacturers must sew children's clothing in accordance with GOST. Clothing size at 2 years old is suitable for a height of 92 cm. But in fact, a child is far from always that height at this age. Some factories make clothes that don't fit the country's standards.
With a height of 92 centimeters, the tag indicates size 26. In Russia, it is customary to write height on the product, age, as a rule, is not noted. At the same time, clothes of the same size from different manufacturers can vary greatly. This is due to the fact that with the indicated height of 92 cm, one factory sews for children with a height of 86–92 cm, and the other for 92–98 cm.
Height is a rough guideline for a parent to understand what size to purchase. Large things are best measured in advance, or when buying, focus on the reviews of other mothers about a particular manufacturer.
Over time, each mother finds the brand of clothing that she likes the most and accurately determines the right size for the baby. It happens that the manufacturer changes the patterns of children's clothing and things run small or large.

- height - 92 cm;
- weight - 12-14.5kg;
- bust - 53-55 cm;
- waist - 50-52cm;
- hips - 53-56cm;
- crotch length - 35cm;
- sleeve length - 31cm;
