Kids Clothes Size Chart by Age (Kenya 2026): Baby, Toddler and Children Sizes Explained

Buying children's clothes online is easy until the parcel arrives and the dress is too small. Sizes differ between countries and makers, so the safest way is to know your child's height and measurements and compare them with a chart.

Quick answer: Most children’s clothes are sized by age (0–3 months, 2 years), by height in centimetres (EU sizes such as 92 or 116) or by US toddler sizes (2T, 3T). Measure your child’s height, chest and waist, then use the chart below. When a product lists a code you do not recognise, ask the seller for the measurements in centimetres before you buy.

General guide. Children grow at different rates and makers cut differently, so always go by height and measurements rather than age alone.

How to Measure Your Child

  1. Height: stand them against a wall without shoes; mark the top of the head and measure to the floor.
  2. Chest: around the fullest part, under the arms, tape level.
  3. Waist: around the natural waist (just above the belly button).
  4. Inside leg: from the crotch to the ankle, for trousers.

Baby Sizes: Buy One Size Up

Babies grow fast. For gifts and baby showers, choose 3–6 or 6–12 months rather than newborn, which many babies outgrow within weeks. See our newborn baby shopping list.

Measure the foot from heel to longest toe while the child stands, and leave about 1 cm of room to grow. The kids comfort shoes come in sizes 24–36.

Unfamiliar Size Codes

Imported clothes sometimes carry codes such as "60–90" or "18–20". These are the maker's own size codes and do not always follow the chart above. Ask the seller for the chest width and length in centimetres and compare them with your child’s measurements, adding a few centimetres for comfort.

Worked Example: Choosing a Dress for a Tall 5-Year-Old

Amani is 5 but 114 cm tall. By age she would wear size 110, but by height she needs size 116. Her mother measures her chest (58 cm), sends it to the seller with her height, and orders the size the seller confirms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Buying by age when the child is tall or short for their age.
  • Buying newborn sizes as baby-shower gifts.
  • Measuring feet while the child is sitting.
  • Assuming every maker uses the same size codes.
