Kids’ measuring guide

Use the tips & visuals in this guide to make taking your child's body measurements easy-peasy.

Dont have a fabric tape measure? Use a shoelace or pant leg to measure. Then, lay it flat & use a ruler or tape measure to get a numerical measurement.

How to measure

  • Height

    Have your child stand in front of the fridge.Mark the top of the head with a magnet. Measure a straight line from floor to magnet.

  • Chest

    Have your child make airplane arms. Wrap tape measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping it level & snug.

  • Waist

    With your child bending to one side, measure the point where the waist flexes naturally. Keep the tape level & comfortably loose.

  • Hip

    Have your child stand like a tall tree with feet together. Measure a level line around the fullest part of the hips & seat.

  • Inseam

    Take a pair of pants that fit your child well. Measure along the seam from crotch to leg opening.

    Crystal - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    My daughter loves lavender so we had to grab these while grocery shopping. They are really nice quality & have held up the whole summer. She’s pretty small so she uses a belt but on the plus side she will use these next summer. I say true to size because she’s small for her age.

    These were okay. The fit was a little loose all over and looked it. My daughter is more of a 7/8, so probably fits better on a true size 8.

    Perfect for curvy, muscular kids. My daughter has curvy legs and tush and I find major waist gaps in regular kids' bottoms. These fit her perfectly. Waist leaves no gaps, and the thighs are loose. I am stocking up in every size and color.

    They are adorable, but the description is inaccurate. I have a tiny 6 yr old granddaughter that I by these for in xs because they stated they did have adjustable waistband. I'm disappointed because now I'll have to take them back & she was disappointed.

    Target mama - 10 months ago, Verified purchaser
    These are very cute, but they run 1-2 sizes bigger than most Cat and Jack bottoms. They have a functional zipper and snap. The waist does not have the adjustable elastic that many jeans have, so you probably just need to order a smaller size than usual. Super adorable though!
