Often, parents who buy clothes for children make mistakes in choosing the size. Due to the marking symbols showing the age of the child, adults are often confused and buy goods of a larger or smaller size. Therefore, all experts recommend being guided by the growth and weight of a son or daughter. Sometimes, especially when ordering products via the Internet, you have to indicate the circumference of the chest or waist and other indicators. Some resources are equipped with specialized programs that translate clothing sizes 2T, 3T, 3M, 4M into traditional symbols of the state in which the user lives.
Measurement rules
At the moment, three requirements are known that help to correctly and quickly determine the parameters of the weight, height and age of the child and successfully make the purchase of children's clothing:
- Measurement of the waist should be done, strictly monitoring the behavior of the child so that he does not retract the stomach.
- When determining the volume of the hips and chest, it is better to use a centimeter tape. It must be applied to the most prominent parts of the body.
- If the child is less than two years old, then they do everything 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 in visual terms, and the more comfortable it will be for the baby.
Systems of different countries
At present, it is customary to be guided by the main tables, which are in the everyday life of three states and the European Union:
- The European calculus is simple and popular. All designations are given in centimeters and correspond to the height of the child.
- The American version simulates all indicators and gives an average value. From the age of seven, the letter marking begins - L, M, and S. Up to two years, the age in months is marked with the letter M. 2T is the size of the United States, which means that the child who is buying clothes has learned to walk.
- The Russian version is based on the volume of the chest. This figure is halved and applied to the product 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 correctness of the choice of clothing.
Hats, socks and tights for children
To buy a children's hat, which has a parameter size of 2T (at what age does not matter), you need to measure the circumference of the child’s head. This must be done with a flexible centimeter. It is worth remembering that it can not be pulled, and a centimeter should pass along the brow arches.
Incorrect socks can cause discomfort to the baby while wearing. Therefore, it is better to approach the choice of this garment as prepared as possible. In this case, the foot is measured from the beginning of the thumb to the heel.
Tights are rightfully considered the most popular and have attracted the attention of consumers for quite some time. They are put on under the pants as an additional attribute, in cold weather they are indispensable for girls - they are put on under the skirt. The period of use of this attribute of clothing is estimated for decades. The main requirement is comfort and convenience. If the child is two years old, then you need to use a size of 2T. How tall to buy - you can accurately determine using a centimeter.
Outerwear
To purchase this part of the children's outfit, parents will have to consider many different factors. Perhaps this is the most difficult choice in such a situation. It is worth noting - the easiest way to take 2T (US size), as it indicates the average. But a kid with unconventional dimensions for his age will have to undergo a consistent fitting.
Moreover, you may need not only classical numbers (height, weight, etc.), but also such parameters as the length of the arms and legs (depending on the sleeve), fatness, proportionality, and torso. Newborn babies also need outerwear. They need to be measured while lying down. In this case, overalls will be a great option, and if the child has just gone, then the size of 2T is almost ideal. At what age to buy clothes with labels of this kind will tell a number in the amount of (2T - two years).
Footwear
Children starting to walk need comfortable, comfortable and non-irritating shoes. His mood, and hence the peace of mind of his parents, depends on how much shoes, sandals or shoes suit the baby.
The length of the foot is the main indicator when choosing this part of the equipment. Evening time is best, because blood rushes to the leg, thereby increasing the total value. In addition, the child should be in socks. In this case, you can safely take the size of 2T. At what age it is acquired, you can not worry if the leg has indicators corresponding to this size.
