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.

My son loves these shorts! They're easy to get on and off because of the elastic waist. The waist is adjustable because of the drawstring. The material is comfortable, not stiff. They're great for outdoor play because the fabric is breathable, lightweight, and easy to move around in. The dark gray color matches well with a lot of tops.

These Cat & Jack boys shorts are perfect for hot summer days. They are lightweight and easy to wear. My son loves them. The gray color goes with everything. My son is the n the slim side, and these fit nicely on his waist. Not too big.

Love these shorts! They are comfortable, soft and stretchy. My son refuses to wear anything but athletic shorts and he loves these. They fit as expected and dry quickly. We will definitely be buying more of these.

Summer Staple

KL2016 - 17 days ago
These boys' quick dry shorts from Target are a summer staple. They're lightweight, dry super fast, and hold up well to rough play, pool days, and everything in between. The waistband is comfy and adjustable, which is great for growing kids. My son wears them to camp, the splash pad, and even just lounging around. They look like regular shorts but handle water like swim trunks, which is a huge win. Easy to wash, quick to dry, and affordable. We’ve already bought a few pairs in different colors. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something versatile and kid-friendly.

My son did not like the material of these pants and does not want to use them again only becauseof that. They did fit okay, a little loose but the drawstring takes care of that. Other than the feel of them they feel well made.

BriLG - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
I ordered the teal green in a size Small for my 47lb 8 year old son, who currently wears a size 6 slim jean. The shorts have a draw string to adjust to size, but they were still too large for our liking. Based on that, I think these run a little on the large side. They are very stylish and the color matched the listing. I will be ordering again.

These are my son’s favorite shorts. Not only are they very comfortable, but they are perfect for the beach and the pool because they dry so quickly. The material elevates the look and makes them appear dressy and not like swimsuit material.

Cooleylicious - 2 months ago
There's not much I like about these shorts. They run big, have a weird cut at the knee, and the material is awful. It's somewhat like swimsuit material and not at all breathable. The drawstring does nothing, so my son couldn't wear them for long. He just hated the feel all around.

These have a material that is moisture wicking similar to swim trucks with blue on blue stripes. I like that they can get a little wet and dry quickly. They fit above the knee, have 3 pockets, 2 in the front and one in the back also these have draw string. My son can pull them on and off easily. I find these go great with a variety of outfits.

Good shorts for dress occasions. The fabric isn’t as giving as I expected but it would go nice for any nicer summer occasions. Fit my 8 year old well and he likes them. Recommend this type if your kid likes sporty shorts

This summer shorts are perfect for any little boy! They’re super lightweight and with an elastic waistband they grow with your child. They are a little stiff but I think with some wear and wash they will soften up!

These are such cute, striped, quick drying, elastic waistband, above the knee shorts. They're a great option for either athletics or even for a quick semi dressed up look for summertime. Our boys will live in these!
