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.

    love these shorts

    we love these shorts. they are easy for a child to pull on and off. the price is right. they do wear holes in them fairly quickly if your child is active, but still a great value.

    I bought them in four colors!

    These shorts are great quality and value! They wash well, and my boys love how comfy they are. I also appreciate the longer length. My oldest son is slim so we buy small sizes to fit his waist, which are usually too short for his long legs. These are a gear fit on him.

    Great shorts

    I have purchased so many pairs of these. My girls’ school requires black shorts with a certain inseam for gym. This works. I tried the girls department but they were all too short. The boys shorts are actually a little softer and they wash well. My girls like these so much they wear them out as well. Even better when they’re on sale.

    The Only Shorts My Boys Will Wear!

    These French Terry shorts are a total win in our house! They're soft, breathable, and comfortable — good for kids with sensory sensitivities. The elastic waistband with a drawstring makes them easy to pull on and adjust, and the pockets are a great bonus. They come in tons of colors, and we have almost every one. My boys prefer these over denim any day. They’re also durable — despite lots of rough play and frequent washes, they’ve held up really well. Best of all, they’re affordable, which makes stocking up on multiple pairs a no-brainer. If you’re looking for everyday shorts that are comfy, easy to care for, durable, and kid-approved — these are it!

    Short

    Comfortable but short. 5T are longer than these. Tried sizing up for length, but they were too big in the waist.

    Ordered large and also an extra large for grandson. XL fit best and returned the other. Reasonable price for a pair of plain shorts.

    nice shorts

    These shorts have been washed and worn a few times and we are really happy with them. I have been hanging to dry, so I'm unsure if they will shrink in the dryer. Overall, the quality is really nice. They fit nicely and my son says they are comfortable. I recommend these shorts.
