[Mad Old Cow]

i just wanted to post incase i could help lol
i always get my Gkids 1 year older then what their age is

I've bought Hugo some new tshirts for his 3rd birthday in a couple of weeks, in a size 3. His size 2s all fit him still, although he probably won't fit them by the end of summer. I think he's on the small side of normal (height) and pretty skinny.

[ezmay]

Lucas can fit a size 3 but i got him some size 4 for summer (he is 3and a half). I think MOC's idea of the size up from their age is great.

[crashtestwoman]

I've brought all sizes 4 for summer, even though his size 3 still fit him. Bubs turned 3 in July.

Me too Di...always have, probably always will.

[Luv Angel Musik Babee]

wow! Ty is just over 2 and is in size 3's some 4's too, I think he's just fat though LOL

[kezabelle]

okay... my kids are very little obviously :) My DS is nearly 6 and in size 4 - but he is short to be honest. My DD was in 2s and 3s when she was that age. But, from what I was always told, the average kids is the same age as size. So, I depends on whether or not you want average kids?

I'm really rubbish at getting kids clothes sizes right....when the youngest niece was 3yo I was buying her 6s and 7s, she's only just wearing them now a couple of years later. LMAO

LMAO Go Aunty Kay:hehe: I had a childless elderly aunt who always bought me 1 size above my age, problem was I was very tiny for my age so I couldn't wear them for about 3 years:hehe:

My 4 year old daughter turns 5 in April next year,and i recently brought her some new clothes in Size 6 from Best&Less,cause i always felt like the other clothes were just to short,and at least she might be able to get some wear out of them.

I guess one thing you soon learn as a parent is to always buy the *next size up* clothes*L*

I ahve more or less found that whatever age the kid is then that's what size clothes you should buy,plus up a size

[mumofAdenandJai]

it really depends on the child and where you are buying from i think.for instance i think you can buy one size from one store and then go buy the same size from another store and one will fit and the other wont.
I think its always best to go bigger if it is a present for someone else. Then they can always grow into it later

[young_mum]

it really depends on the size of the kid. my DS is very tall for his age and when he was 4 years old, he was wearing size 4-5. but it also depends on the shop. i find that target is generally larger than normal so i usually buy it in one size smaller for DS and the right size for DD (she is 7 months and growing rapidly!), but i have found best and less to be smaller normal so i usually buy the next size up!!! if you are confused about what size to get, find out the childs height/ weight and have a look at what the tag says. they usually say "to fit ....cm hips, ...... kgs weight etc.

[dragonfly97]

my oldest is 4 and he wears 5-6 and our 3yr wears 4-5 and our 1yr wears 2t so my kids are on the tall side

[Telori]

I can never tell Tina...I usually buy 3's or 4's but that is for both boys (Aiden is two and they fit him as well, just a little bigger)

I never seemed to buy ones or twos, just went straight from 0 to...but my kids have always been pretty small and 0's fit them for a couple of years :hehe:...

I have a 3 yo, Maggie, and she's wearing a 2 in shirts, but a three in pants (but she's really in that in-between stage). It's really funny, too, because my mother-in-law bought her a bunch of winter clothes last year assuming she'd still be a size small (Maggie, no MIL... :P). Anyway, I told MIL that Mags was wearing a 3 in pants and she insisted that since she bought her "good quality NAME BRAND stuff, that it would still fit. :blink: Good grief, but you've got to love her.

Anyway, another growth spurt like the last one and we'll be out buying new shirts finally.

I have a 5 and a 3 year old. I generally buy 1 size bigger than their age. Most of the time this works. I agree that Target clothes are bigger which is great. I also buy things from Big W and it is hit and miss occassionally. Like some others are saying, better to be slightly bigger. The baggy look is in, especially for boys!
