Confused about which size clothes or shoes are right for you Baby or child?

The most popular way to select a size is to go by a child's height.  The easiest way to check this is to measure the child from the top of head to the ground, standing up straight feet together with no shoes.  For a baby lay them on a flat surface and measure top of head to heel.  Alternatively measure a garment similar in style.

To measure the waist it should be taken at the natural waist line, a chest measurement from under the arms to the fullest part of the chest.  If taking measurements from an existing garment lay it flat and measure across the chest or waist and then double the measurement.

Below is a rough guide to general sizing, but bear in mind different brands size slightly different. If unsure check using the individual Brands guide.
