Toddlers Grow in Their Own Unique Ways

I’ve learned that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to 3-year-old growth. Just like their personalities, toddlers grow at their own pace. So, if you’re scratching your head wondering if your little one is too small or too big for their age, rest assured that there’s a wide range of “normal.”

Understanding Toddler Clothing Sizes

Alright, so we’ve established that each 3-year-old child is a unique growing machine. Now, let’s tackle clothing sizes. Toddler sizes usually span from 2T to 5T, with the “T” standing for “toddler.” But what do those numbers actually mean in terms of width and length? I’ve got a handy chart to help you out:

What’s 3T? It’s a birthday t-shirt size for kids aged 3 to about 4. It represents 3 Toddlers and is typically the next size after 2T. You can find a 3T birthday shirt in our store- Giftcustom, tailored for older children, not babies. I consulted with actual surveys from experts on natural US child development before coming to the general conclusion that 3T is a suitable size for the majority of 3-year-old Spidey.

You might be wondering, this size might fit one three-year-old but not another. Of course, the size can’t be 100% accurate. If you are concerned that this size will not fit your child, don’t worry continue to my next section – how to measure to make sure your baby is the right size and then compare it with our size chart.

How to Measure for A T-Shirt (Giftcustom Guide)

Measuring for Length:

To measure for length, follow these steps to ensure the perfect fit:

Starting Point: Place the beginning of the measuring tape at the base of the back of your neck. This point is where the collar of the shirt would rest.
Downward Measurement: Extend the measuring tape down your child’s back until you reach the desired point where you’d like the shirt to end. Typically, this point aligns with the bottom of the buttocks. However, if your kid prefers to always tuck the shirt in, you might want it slightly longer. Conversely, if you plan to leave the shirt untucked, a slightly shorter length could be ideal.
Rounding Up: Once you’ve reached the point where you want the shirt to end, note the measurement. Round up to the nearest inch for accuracy.

Measuring For Width:

Stand Straight: Begin by standing upright with your kid’s arms relaxed at the sides. This neutral posture ensures an accurate measurement.
Lay the Tape: Take a soft measuring tape and gently wrap it around the widest part of your child’s chest. This area is usually just under your armpits and across the fullest part of the bust.
Relaxed Measurement: Make sure the measuring tape is parallel to the ground and not pulled too tightly. The tape should rest comfortably against the body without digging in.
Note the Measurement: Once the tape is securely around your chest, note the measurement where the two ends of the tape meet. This number is your body width measurement.

Final Thoughts

Before you click that “Add to Cart” button for that fantastic Spiderman 3rd birthday shirt, remember that every child blossoms in their own time. So, if your three-year-old is marching to the beat of their own growth drum, that’s perfectly okay. In the realm of sizing, remember that numbers are just guides. Your best bet is to measure your child’s height and let that be your compass.
