Chicco baby clothes and children’s sandals: how to choose the right size, material and style

Choosing a new outfit or pair of sandals for a baby or toddler might seem straightforward. But small details can lead to a purchase you regret. When choosing Chicco baby clothes and children’s sandals, it’s important to look beyond the colour or age guidance and check the sizing, fabric composition and intended use too.

Common pitfalls when choosing baby clothes and sandals

1. Relying on age alone

Age guidance varies from one product to another. For example, a size 62 garment might be listed as suitable for around 6 months, but your child’s height and the fit matter more than their age. Always check the size in centimetres and the product’s size guide.

The same applies to children’s sandals in sizes 20, 25 and 26. Product codes 200, 250 and 260 usually refer to European shoe sizes, but check the actual sizing information on the product page before you buy.

2. Assuming material names tell you how comfortable something will be

“Cotton” doesn’t tell you everything. A garment made from 100% cotton has a different composition from a T-shirt made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane. Elastane can help create a stretchier fit, while baby clothes without synthetic fibres may feel and wear differently.

Sandals may be listed as having polyurethane-coated support, polyester and cotton, among other materials. Use these details to compare products, but don’t treat the fabric composition as a guarantee of a particular wearing experience.

3. Making assumptions about colour or who a product is for

Product names sometimes include “girls” or “boys”, but the practical choice mainly comes down to size, fit, colour and how the item will be used. For example, a dark blue sandal can be easy to wear every day, while a fuchsia pair makes a bolder statement. Also check that the product has the fastening, lining and sole construction you want; these details aren’t always included in a short title.

Which specifications should you check?

Size and fit

For baby clothes in sizes 56 to 92, it’s best to start by measuring your child’s height. Also bear in mind:

  • Size 56: often intended for newborns and young babies.
  • Sizes 62 to 68: suitable for the next stage of growth, depending on your child’s build.
  • Sizes 80 to 92: often relevant for toddlers.
  • Shoe sizes 20 to 26: measure both feet and choose based on the longer one.

A garment that fits perfectly now may soon be too small. However, too much extra room can mean rolled-up sleeves, an awkward fit or stumbling in sandals. So don’t automatically choose a larger size in the hope of making it last longer.

Material and composition

Product specifications give you clear details to compare:

  • 100% cotton: used for the Chicco baby clothes set in light orange, sizes 56 and 62.
  • 95% cotton and 5% elastane: used in the white Chicco baby T-shirts in sizes 80 and 92.
  • 80% cotton, 16% polyester and 4% elastane: listed for the girls’ skirt with braces in sizes 68 and 92.
  • 80% polyurethane-coated support and 20% polyester: listed for certain Chicco Conner sandals.

Follow the care instructions on the label of each garment. The composition can affect how a product washes and dries, but it doesn’t make any medical or health claims.

Use and care

Simple outfits are often practical for everyday wear. A T-shirt and shorts set saves you having to find matching pieces. A separate girls’ skirt with braces can be paired with different T-shirts. For sandals, it’s particularly important to check the fastening, seams and sole before use, and follow the care instructions.
