Guide des tailles de vêtements enfants et bébés

Babies and children grow up so fast!

And when it comes to choosing clothes for them, it can quickly become a headache. But don't panic! Knowing how to measure your child and the different sizes available will help you find clothes that are perfectly adapted to their growing morphology. In this guide, we give you all the tips to succeed in choosing THE right size for your kids. Fasten your seatbelts!

Taking the right steps

To determine the right size for your baby or child, measure around the chest, waist and hips. For body length, measure from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet. For arm and leg length, measure from the top of the shoulder to the wrist or from the top of the groin to the ankle.

Once you have taken these measurements, refer to the size charts below to find the best size for your baby or child based on age and weight.

Size : From head to toe Chest size: at the strongest point Waist size: at the thinnest point Pelvis circumference: at the strongest point of the hips Head circumference: above the temples

Size charts

Choosing the right size clothing for your child can seem like a real headache, but with the right tools and information, it becomes a quick and easy task. By taking accurate measurements and referring to the size charts, you can easily find the perfect size for your little one. Remember that every child grows differently, so don't worry if your child doesn't fit exactly one size. Try on different sizes to find the one that will work best for him.

And if your kids are growing up too fast, send us their undersized clothes to complete the circle!

Baby clothing sizes

Baby sizes are determined by the age or weight of your child. Sizes often start at birth, then go through 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and so on. A 9 month size will fit a baby until he or she is about 9 months old so feel free to choose a size above his or her age. And yes...

During your baby's first few months, you'll be constantly changing his or her wardrobe, even though every child grows differently. Some babies grow faster than others and some are heavier for their age. So, we suggest you try on different sizes to find the one that will best suit your child, especially since they can vary from one brand to another.

0 month	50	33	34	36

Children's clothing sizes

Children's sizes are usually listed in age: 2 years, 4 years, 6 years, etc. Every child grows differently and there is no one size that will fit all children perfectly. American and European sizes can also differ. For example, an American 2 year old size may correspond to a European 3 year old size.

To summarize, take your child's exact measurements and refer to the size charts to easily find the right size for your child. Don't hesitate to try on different sizes to find the one that will best fit your child according to his age and/or weight. Again, these can vary from brand to brand.
