Pick the age they'll be when they actually wear it. Sizes are based on a typical child of that age (WHO growth averages). If they run big, go one size up.

With their age, we forecast from their own growth. Leave it blank to use an average.

How the clothing size calculator works

  1. Choose the brand, or leave it blank to compare every brand side by side.
  2. Choose what you're buying. Brands publish separate charts for pants, outerwear, pajamas, underwear and more; the calculator uses the chart for that item, or the brand's general chart when the brand uses one chart for all clothing. Hats, socks and tights are under Accessories.
  3. Enter the measurements that chart uses. Most charts use weight and height; pants add waist, tops and jackets add chest. Where a brand splits its sizes (girls and boys, baby and big-kid sizes, slim, husky and plus fits) you can choose the one that matches the item.

Want the numbers behind the result? See the Kids Size Chart for sizes 2T–16 compared across brands, the Size Index 2026 to see how size labels differ between brands, or How We Check Sizes for where each chart comes from. Buying shoes too? Try the Shoe Size Calculator.

How to measure

What the result means

Each result names the chart it used, links to the brand's own page and shows how the chart was checked: Verified (compared value by value with the brand's official chart, captured October 2026), Checked (the brand's published chart read twice, September 2026) or Needs review (an open question about the brand's own numbers, explained under the result).

Age is optional: it changes the wording and the growth forecast, never the size. The forecast for future sizes is a rough estimate from WHO growth curves, not from the brand.

Common questions

Why is my child a different size at each brand?

Each brand sets its own ranges. A 13 lb baby is a 6M at Carter's but a 3–6M at Gerber. Most American brands size by weight and height. European-style brands like H&M size by height in centimeters, so a size 68 fits a baby up to 68 cm long.

Does it work for older kids?

Yes. Enter your child's height and weight, and switch the age to years. Most brands here go up to size 12 or 14, which fits kids up to about 12 years old. Brands that stop at toddler sizes are listed under the results as "Too big for".

Why does it ask girl or boy?

From about size 6, some brands, like Cat & Jack, Tea Collection and Joe Fresh, cut girls' and boys' clothes a little differently. If you don't choose, we show the girls' size and note the boys' size when it's different.

Can I see just one brand?

Yes. Choose the brand in "Which brand are you shopping for?" at the top. You'll get one clear answer, the sizes just above and below it, and that brand's full chart. Choose "Compare all brands" to see every brand side by side again.

Why does the size change when I pick pants or a jacket?

Some brands publish separate charts for each kind of clothing. Carter's pants chart uses waist, and its jacket chart uses chest and allows for layers. When a brand has only one chart, we use it for all clothing and label the tag "General chart".

Should I size by weight or height?

Check both. If they point to different sizes, choose the bigger one. A size that's too long is still wearable; one that's too short in the body won't close.

Why do pajamas fit tighter?

In the US, children's sleepwear must either be flame-resistant or fit snugly. Many brands, including Burt's Bees Baby and Gerber, make close-fitting cotton pajamas, so a snug fit is normal. Buy the size the chart gives rather than going bigger.

When should I move up a size?

When the meter on a tag is near the top, or snaps start pulling across the belly or legs. Most babies move up a size every 2 to 3 months in the first year.

Size charts checked September to November 2026, from each brand's published size charts; each result shows how and when its chart was checked. OshKosh B'gosh uses the same charts as Carter's. Brands update their charts, so confirm on the retailer's page before buying. Brand names are used only to identify their size charts; this site is not affiliated with any brand.
