Choosing the right size for your child can be tricky, as many parents rely on age as the main indicator of fit. However, age alone may not be the most accurate measure. In fact, focusing on height is the most reliable way to ensure comfortable, well-fitting clothes for your child. Here’s a complete guide on choosing the right size based on your child’s height and some useful tips on how to measure it accurately.
Why Height Comes First When Choosing Size
Choosing clothes based on height guarantees that your child’s clothes will be comfortable and allow free movement. Unlike age, height reflects your child’s actual size and ensures a better fit. If your child’s weight falls within the average range, height is the most reliable measure. However, if your child is slimmer or heavier than average, weight can be a secondary factor when deciding on the perfect size.
The Right Way to Measure Your Child’s Height
The key to selecting the perfect size for your child lies in accurate height measurement. The more precise the measurement, the better you can choose the ideal fit. The following image provides a detailed guide to these steps. Please follow them carefully to achieve the best results.
