Few new parents will drag their newly born baby to the store in order to buy him clothes. As a rule, such events are held without his participation. How not to miss the size? This question is also relevant for those who buy clothes as a gift. And for those who like to order things in online stores, both Russian and foreign, it is quite exciting, especially since children's clothing sizes vary by age in different countries.
Of course, most self-respecting manufacturers post detailed tables on their websites to help you navigate. You just need to take the appropriate measurements: bust, waist and so on. In practice, this is important in the case when the choice is on models that should sit clearly on the figure. This mostly applies to older kids.
Most parents, when choosing clothes for babies, usually focus on children's clothing sizes by age and height. This is largely due to the fact that the wardrobe of a small child consists of things of a free cut that do not restrict movement. So detailed measurements of all the proportions of the baby's body are not always needed. Another thing is that different manufacturers offer their own size range. This is understandable and should be remembered.
Children's clothing sizes by age in different countries
Dimensional grid in different countries is not the same. Even if the criteria for their compilation are the age and weight of the child, a single table does not work. So, in Asian countries, some anthropometric values are standard, and in European countries, others. Children's clothing is no exception: under the label "2 years" in China and England there will be things of completely different sizes. So fans of updating a child's wardrobe at Asian venues, which are so popular these days, should take this into account.
Size (US) children's clothing is considered the most common. Usually, in addition to age, height is indicated on the marking, and for babies, the weight of the child is also indicated. This information, as a rule, is enough not to be mistaken. For example, a size of 6 months corresponds to a height of up to 68 centimeters and a weight range of 5.5 to 7.7 kg.
English brands of children's clothing are also well known in Russia. Their size grid matches the American one.
Russian sizes of children's clothing are presented in two versions. Producers keeping up with the times follow the example of Western manufacturers. In this case, their size grid coincides with those accepted in the USA, England and Italy.
The second option is enterprises that have been operating since Soviet times. They mainly make clothes.for babies: underwear, sliders, vests and the like. So, for children whose age is in the range from zero to three months, clothing size eighteen is suitable, from six months - twenty, and so on. What is the reason for such a gradation, for many modern mothers remains a mystery. In this case, you will have to consult the seller.
Children's clothing sizes by age: what to consider
Many believe that children's things brought, for example, from France are small, and vice versa from Germany, and so on. In fact, even within the same country, the actual sizes of clothing from two manufacturers can vary significantly.
Moreover, even things made in the same factory may not be the same size. So, many well-known outerwear manufacturers stock up on models for babies up to two years old, and size 92 will actually fit a child a few centimeters taller.
The complexion of the child also plays a significant role. Therefore, children, one of whom is thin and the other of average weight, with the same height, can wear things of different sizes.
