It is not uncommon for parents who purchase clothes for their children to make mistakes in choosing the size. Because of the marking symbols that show the age of the child, adults often get confused and buy a product of a larger or smaller size. Therefore, all experts recommend being guided by the height and weight of a son or daughter. Sometimes, especially when ordering products via the Internet, you have to indicate the girth of the chest or waist and other indicators. Some resources are equipped with specialized programs that convert clothing sizes 2T, 3T, 3M, 4M into traditional symbols of the state in which the user lives.
Measurement rules
At the moment, there are three requirements that help to correctly and quickly determine the parameters of the weight, height and age of the child and successfully purchase children's clothing:
- Measuring the waist should be done, strictly monitoring the behavior of the child so that he does not pull in the stomach.
- When determining the volume of the hips and chest, it is better to use a centimeter tape. She needsapply to the most protruding places of the body.
- If the child is less than two years old, then all actions are done by putting the baby on the changing table. Older age suggests a standing position. Such a child can usually already choose a children's size 2T.
The more accurate the numbers, the better the clothes will look visually, and the more comfortable it will be for the baby.
Systems of different countries
Currently, it is customary to be guided by the main tables that are in use by the three states and the European Union:
- The European number system is simple and popular. All designations are given in centimeters and correspond to the height of the child.
- The American variant simulates all indicators and produces an average value. From the age of seven, the letter marking begins - L, M and S. Until the age of two, the age sequence is put in months with the letter M. 2T is the US size, which means that the child who is buying clothes has learned to walk.
- Russian version based on chest volume. This figure is halved and applied to products as a marking symbol.
- The Chinese almost exactly copy the system of North America, with the exception of small nuances that do not affect the correct choice of clothes.
Hats, socks and tights for children
To buy a children's headdress that has a size parameter of 2T (it doesn't matter at what age), you need to measure the circumference of the child's head. This must be done with a flexible centimeter. It is worth remembering thatit cannot be stretched, but a centimeter must pass along the superciliary arches.
Wrongly fitted socks can cause discomfort to the baby while wearing. Therefore, it is better to approach the choice of this piece of clothing as prepared as possible. In this case, the foot is measured from the beginning of the big toe to the heel.
Tights are rightfully considered the most popular and have attracted the attention of the consumer for quite a long time. They are worn under pants as an additional attribute, in cold weather they are also indispensable for girls - they are worn under a skirt. The period of use of such an attribute of clothing is calculated in decades. The main requirement is comfort and convenience. If the child is two years old, then you need to use the size 2T. What height to buy - you can accurately determine with the help of a centimeter.
Outerwear
To purchase this part of the children's outfit, parents will have to take into account many different factors. Perhaps this is the most difficult choice in this situation. It is worth noting that the easiest way is to take 2T (US size), since it indicates averages. But a baby with unconventional dimensions for his age will have to be subjected to consistent fitting.
Moreover, you may need not only classic numbers (height, weight, etc.), but also such parameters as the length of arms and legs (depending on the sleeve), fatness, proportionality, torso. Newborn babies also need outerwear. Their measurement must be done in the positionlying. An excellent option in this case would be a jumpsuit, and if the child has just gone, then size 2T is almost ideal. At what age to buy clothes with this kind of marking, the number in the size will tell (2T - two years).
Shoes
Toddlers need shoes that are comfortable, comfortable and non-irritating. The fit of the baby's shoes, sandals or shoes determines his mood, and hence the peace of mind of the parents.
The length of the foot is the main indicator when choosing this piece of equipment. Evening time is best, because the blood rushes to the leg, thereby increasing the final value. In addition, the child must be in socks. In this case, you can safely take the size 2T. At what age it is acquired, you don’t have to worry if the leg has indicators corresponding to this size.
