What size should I buy?
Purchasing the right size for a baby is based more on the child's height and weight, rather than their age. While most lines of clothing label their products with an age, they also include the specific height and weight measurements that age represents for their line. When a month-based age is placed on the label it indicates the high-end of the age range the item will fit. For example:
- 3 months = 0 to 3 months
- 6 months = 3 to 6 months
- 9 months = 6 to 9 months
- 12 months = 9 to 12 months
If you are buying a gift and don't know the weight and height of the child, the rule of thumb is to buy six months larger then the age of the baby. Always think through size and seasonality. You don't want to buy a 6 months summer outfit for a baby born in the summer - they will have out grown it by the time it is warm enough to wear.
What is the difference between 24 months and 2T?
Twenty-four months is usually slightly shorter and wider in the waist. 2T is cut narrower because the baby is starting to lose the rounded belly. Here are a few guidelines to help.
