Sizes of children's overalls

Children's clothing is presented in a wide range of goods on the market. Parents are often confused when buying warm outerwear for their baby.

How to choose overalls for a child

Winter or autumn clothes for children should not only protect from bad weather, but also have a number of features:

• Comfort and convenience - the child is mobile and things should not hinder his movements.
• Quality - all seams must be done professionally.
• Environmental friendliness - you need to pay attention to the materials used.

IMPORTANT! Overalls for a small child should not contain iron or sharp decorative elements.

There is one more factor that you should pay attention to before taking a thing - this is the size. It is advisable to select a model that is not close-fitting, but a very large jumpsuit can cause inconvenience and discomfort for a boy or girl.

How to determine a child’s size (how to take measurements correctly)

Clothing parameters are an important aspect that should be given special attention. Buying a large size model will become an unprofitable purchase, since such a jumpsuit loses its main property - reliable protection from the cold. Therefore, you first need to take measurements from the baby to determine the parameters.

Manufacturers often rely on height, age characteristics and chest girth (BC) when determining the size range. These parameters are measured as follows:

• Height. If the baby has not reached two years old, he is placed on a flat surface to measure the distance from the top of the head to the heels. If it is already older, then you need to place it near the doorway and mark the height.

IMPORTANT! When measuring, you need to follow the heels; they should be level and as close as possible to the opening.

• The girth of the neck, chest and hips is measured with a measuring tape. When measuring the waist, the baby's stomach should be in a relaxed state.
• Sleeve length is measured from the base of the shoulder to the thumb.
• The trouser leg is measured from the groin area.

It is best, of course, to take your baby with you for fitting, but this is not always possible. Therefore, you should take measurements correctly and record all parameters. It is undesirable to rip off the tags from clothes immediately after purchase, since the buyer has the right to return the overalls to the seller if it does not suit the child. It is worth agreeing with the store in advance about a possible exchange.

How to choose overalls for a child under one year old

A newborn and a baby under 12 months of age are more susceptible to rapid freezing, since they are still inactive. When purchasing clothes for him, you need to consider several factors:

• Variety - determined based on the characteristics of the child.
• Material – it is better to pay attention to natural fabrics, it will help to avoid possible allergic reactions.
• Size - a jumpsuit with a large margin will not warm the child, and an oversized one will hinder the movements of newborns - a golden mean is required.
• Fasteners must be as safe and effective as possible.

The best option for a baby is a transformer, since the baby is growing quickly, and the product may need to be enlarged to ensure the child’s comfort.

As for size, for babies under 1 year of age, it is determined by two parameters - height and age. Most often, height is size. In this case, you need to be careful, since each child is individual and grows according to his own program. Therefore, when choosing, you should not base your choice on age (it is indicated in months); it is advisable to take into account the height and weight of the baby in order to avoid subsequent discomfort for the baby.

How to choose children's winter overalls

Purchasing things for the coldest period is a responsible task, since the child needs not only to feel comfortable during active games (as in the case of denim), but also to be completely protected from moisture penetration. There are certain characteristics that you should pay attention to before making a purchase:

• Age characteristics.
• Size – it is advisable to select a model that is about four times larger than the child’s natural height.
• Color range - too bright acidic shades may indicate the presence of toxic components in the composition of the materials. It is better to choose natural colors.
• Heat - here you should carefully study the product label. The manufacturer often indicates the temperature conditions for which the clothing is intended.
• The outer material must have a high level of strength, moisture resistance and not easily soiled.
• Lining - it is better to choose a natural type that allows air to pass through and retains heat.
• Insulation.

Saving in this case can cause frequent childhood illnesses.

Sizes of overalls for children (table)

The size system is divided into three categories - Russian, European and American, Let's look at each of them in more detail.

The first option is based on the child’s height and chest circumference, and also takes into account how tall he is. The 18th is considered the smallest - intended for a baby up to two months tall up to 56 centimeters and with a chest circumference of 40 cm (newborn). From size 30 the classification begins for children from six years old.

ATTENTION! For children under seven years of age, there are no distinctions in the size chart by gender, since the body structure does not differ between boys and girls.

Russian size is most often determined by chest circumference, but you need to pay close attention to the other parameters.

The European system includes the height and weight of the baby. The increase in size differs in intervals of six units. Concerning American size grid, then the standards are defined here:

• From 0 to year – designation is carried out by month.
• From 2 to 4 years.
• From 5 to adulthood.

Each system has its own dimensional grids.
