How to measure your child properly

Height

Measure your child standing against a wall, without shoes, from the floor to the top of the head.

Weight

Weigh your child in light clothing for a more accurate result.

Between two sizes?

Always choose the larger size. Children grow fast and will be more comfortable.

Head circumference

Measure above the ears and eyebrows with a soft tape. Winter beanies stretch ±2 cm, but sun hats require a precise fit.
