Few young parents will drag their newly born baby to the store in order to buy him clothes. As a rule, such events are held without his participation. How not to miss the size? This question is also relevant for those who buy clothes as a gift. And for fans of ordering things in online stores, both Russian and foreign, it is quite exciting, especially since children's sizes of clothes vary by age in different countries.
Of course, most self-respecting manufacturers post detailed tables on their sites that you can navigate around. It is only necessary to take the appropriate measurements: chest, waist and so on. In practice, this is important in the case when the choice is limited to models that should sit clearly on the figure. This mainly applies to things for older children.
Most parents when choosing things for babies, as a rule, focuses specifically on children's clothing sizes by age and height. This is due in many respects to the fact that the wardrobe of a small child consists of things of a free cut that do not restrict movement. So detailed measurements of all the proportions of the baby's body are not always needed. Another thing is that different manufacturers offer their own size range. This is understandable, and this must be remembered.
Children's clothing sizes by age in different countries
The size grid in different countries is not the same. Even if the criteria for compiling them are the age and weight of the child, a single table does not work. So, in Asian countries, some anthropometric values are standard, and in European - others. Children's clothing is no exception: under the label "2 years" in China and England there will be things of completely different sizes. So lovers to update the child’s wardrobe in the Asian venues, so popular nowadays, should take this into account.
Size (US) of children's clothing is considered the most common. Usually, in addition to age, the markings indicate height, and for babies also the weight of the child. This information, as a rule, is sufficient in order not to be mistaken. For example, a size of 6 months corresponds to an increase of up to 68 centimeters and a weight range from 5.5 to 7.7 kg.
English brands of children's clothing are also well known in Russia. Their
dimensional grid coincides with the American one.
Russian sizes of children's clothing are presented in two versions. Producers, keeping up with the times, take an example from Western manufacturers. In this case, their dimensional grid coincides with those adopted in the USA, England and Italy.
The second option is enterprises operating since Soviet times. They mainly produce clothes for babies: underwear, romper suit, baby undershirts and the like. So, for children whose age is in the range from zero to three months, a clothing size of eighteen is suitable, from six months to twenty, and so on. What is the reason for this gradation remains a mystery to many modern mothers. In this case, you will have to consult with the seller.
Children's clothing sizes by age: what to consider
Many believe that children's things brought, for example, from France are small, and from Germany, on the contrary, and so on. In fact, even within the same country, the actual sizes of clothes of two manufacturers can differ significantly.
Moreover, even things sewn in one factory may be unequal in size. So, many well-known manufacturers of outerwear make a reserve for models for babies up to two years, and the size for growth of 92 in fact will suit the child a few centimeters taller.
A significant role is played by the complexion of the child. Therefore, children, one of whom is thin and the other of average weight, with the same height can wear things of different sizes.
