Understanding Kids Sizing Systems
Children's sizing varies significantly between regions:
- US: Uses age-based sizes (2T, 3T, 4, 5, 6, etc.)
- EU: Based on height in centimeters (92, 98, 104, 110, etc.)
- UK: Uses age ranges (2-3 years, 3-4 years, etc.)

👶 Remember: Age is Just a Guide
Children grow at very different rates. A tall 4-year-old might need size 6, while a smaller child might still fit in 3T. Always recommend customers measure their child and compare to actual garment measurements.
FAQ
What size is a 4 year old in kids clothing?
A typical 4 year old fits size 4 or 4T in US sizing, size 104 in EU sizing (based on height in cm), or age 3-4 years in UK sizing. However, always check measurements as children vary greatly in size.
What is the difference between 4 and 4T?
The 'T' in sizes like 4T stands for 'Toddler.' 4T sizes are designed for toddler body proportions with roomier seat for diapers and shorter torso. Size 4 (without T) is cut for older kids who are fully potty trained with slimmer fit.
How do I measure my child for clothing?
Measure height (without shoes), chest around the fullest part, waist at natural waistline, and hip at the widest point. Compare these measurements to the size chart rather than just using age.
