Kids Clothing Size Chart – Age, Height & CM (AU, US, UK & EU)

Kids Clothing Size Chart – Age, Height & CM (AU, US, UK & EU)

This kids clothing size chart helps you estimate the right size using age ranges and approximate body measurements in centimetres (CM), with a simple conversion view across Australian (AU), United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), and European (EU) sizing. Because children grow at different rates and brands size garments differently, measurements are often more reliable than age alone.

Quick Answer:

For kids clothing, height is usually the best starting point, with chest, waist, and hips used to fine-tune fit. Age ranges are only approximate. In many cases, EU kids sizes broadly match height in CM, while AU, UK, and US labels can vary by brand and garment style.

📏 How to Measure a Child (CM)

  • Height: Measure barefoot from the floor to the top of the head.
  • Chest: Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape level.
  • Waist: Measure around the natural waist without pulling the tape tight.
  • Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat.

For best results, measure over light clothing and choose the size that best matches the child’s height range. If measurements fall between sizes, many parents choose the larger size to allow room for growth.

📌 Kids Clothing Sizing Tips

  • Height is usually the best starting point when choosing kids clothing sizes.
  • US toddler sizes are often labelled 2T, 3T, 4T, where T stands for toddler.
  • EU kids sizes commonly correspond to height in CM, so EU 128 often fits a child around 128 cm tall.
  • If your child is between sizes, many parents choose the larger size to allow growing room.
  • For slimmer or broader builds, the brand’s own size chart may be more reliable than general conversions.

❓ Common Questions

  • Should I choose kids clothing by age or height? Height is usually more reliable than age, because children of the same age can vary greatly in size.
  • What does 2T or 3T mean? These are US toddler sizes, with the T standing for toddler.
  • Do EU kids sizes match height in CM? Often yes. Many EU kids sizes broadly reflect the child’s height in centimetres.
  • Should I size up for growth? Many parents do, especially if the child is between sizes or close to the top of a height range.
