US Toddler Clothing Size (2-5 yrs)

Let's determine US toddler clothing size

Children between 2 and 5 years old (so called toddlers) grow fast. But be aware that both too small and oversized clothes can be uncomfortable wearing. Kids are active, and they need well-fitting clothes to feel well.

Child Size vs. Toddler Size

Toddler clothing size (2 to 5 yrs) and Children (little boys/little girls) clothing size (4-7 yrs) often overlap. So, what is the difference between toddler and children clothing size? This depends on brand/manufacturer. But usual differences include:

-Some child sizes are narrower and longer
-Some toddler sizes are roomier (beacause of diapers)
-Some children and toddler sizes are the same, but the garments have different cuts/styles

Keep this in mind when shopping for a 4 or 5 years old child, that actually often can use both sizing systems.
