Size charts

Children's clothing sizes

In much of Europe a child's size is their height in centimetres, UK sizes are labelled with the age, and the US has size numbers of its own. Go by height rather than age: children of the same age can be several sizes apart.

EU: the height in cm. US: NB newborn, M months, T toddler. JP and CN: Japanese and Chinese sizes, which also go by height.

How to measure

Height: Standing straight against a wall, without shoes.

Convert centimeter to inch

The measurements are a guide: every brand cuts a little differently, and where a brand publishes its own size chart, that is the one to follow.
