Kids clothing sizes

Europe, Japan and China put the child's height on the label: a 110 is cut for a child 110 cm tall. The US and the UK put a letter or an age on it, which is why one child wears three different labels.

Letters have no standard behind them: this column is one brand's convention. Check the chart of the brand you are buying.

Babies and toddlers

Baby clothes are labelled by age and fitted by weight; the height column is what Japan and China print.
Height sizeAge (US and UK)Weight
45 cmnewbornup to 7 lb (3.2 kg)
50 cm0 to 3 months7 to 12 lb (3.2 to 5.4 kg)
60 cm3 to 6 months12 to 17 lb (5.4 to 7.7 kg)
65 to 70 cm6 to 12 months17 to 22 lb (7.7 to 10 kg)
80 cm12 to 18 months22 to 27 lb (10 to 12.2 kg)
90 cm18 to 24 months27 to 30 lb (12.2 to 13.6 kg)
Babies grow in jumps. Weight and height together beat the age on the label.

What to trust here

  • Height is the reliable number. It is the label itself in Europe, Japan and China, so it travels between brands.
  • Letters are a brand's own convention. The US column here is Gap's; another brand can cut its M for a different child.
  • Age is a hint, not a size. Children of the same age differ by a size or two.
  • Not covered yet: US toddler sizes (2T to 5T) and US numeric sizes (4, 5, 6, 6X, 7). We have not found a chart for them we are allowed to read, so we leave them out rather than guess.
