Buying Chicco children’s clothing seems straightforward until you have to choose between baby bodysuits, T-shirts, shorts, dungarees skirts and children’s shoes. A low price does not always indicate how useful a garment will be. Conversely, a higher price does not guarantee that it will fit well or last a long time.
Pay particular attention to the sizing, material composition and intended use. Focusing on these three points will help you avoid the most common buying mistakes.
Age labels such as 06M, 18M or 7 YEARS are only a guideline. Body length in centimetres is usually more important. For example, a fast-growing baby may already need baby clothing in size 62 or size 68. Always check the size chart and compare it with your child’s current height.
“Cotton” sounds practical, but the composition can vary from one product to another. A T-shirt made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane has a different amount of stretch from a tank top made from 100% cotton. Shorts may contain a blend of 90% cotton and 10% viscose. So do not just look at the main material; check all the percentages on the product label.
Children’s feet do not grow to a fixed schedule. What is more, the same size can fit differently depending on the style. When choosing Chicco children’s sandals and Chicco children’s shoes, check not only the EU size but also the fit, fastening and available room around the toes. A hook-and-loop fastening can be convenient for everyday use, but the sandal must still fit securely.
For baby clothing, sizes 56, 62 and 68 are commonly used stages. For toddlers, you will often see children’s clothing in sizes 86 and 92. For older children, size 122 is relevant. The numbers generally refer to body length, but check the information for each item.
Use this practical checklist:
For cotton children’s clothing, the composition is a useful point of comparison. A Chicco baby bodysuit made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane can be practical when dressing and undressing your baby, thanks to its stretchy fibre. A tank top made from 100% cotton has a simpler composition. A set containing 95% cotton and 5% elastane may be suitable if you want to combine a shirt and shorts in one purchase.
The fabric composition does not tell you everything about the overall experience. Also pay attention to the seams, neckline, waistband and fastenings. Follow the washing and care instructions on the label for every item. This will help to minimise shrinkage, colour fading and unnecessary wear.
For wearing at home, nursery or outdoors, simple styles are often practical. Think Chicco T-shirts, Chicco shorts and tank tops. In warm weather, sandals can be a sensible choice, provided the size and fastening fit properly. A Chicco dungarees skirt, described as “Dungarees Skirt” in the product information, is more suited to a smart everyday outfit.
Note the difference between clothing for babies and clothing for older children:

We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Always follow the care label and sort white and coloured clothing separately. Fasten poppers and hook-and-loop closures before washing to help prevent damage to other garments. Allow clothing to dry completely before putting it away. For shoes and sandals, regularly check the fastening, sole and inside.
Do not store baby clothing for too long based on the age label alone. Children can quickly outgrow a size. If you are unsure, it is more practical to measure your child’s height again than to automatically order a larger size.
Use body length as your starting point. In the product information, size 56 is linked to approximately 0–3 months, size 62 to approximately 6 months and size 68 to approximately 9 months. These are only indications. Always compare them with your baby’s current height and build.
The product information for the items mentioned describes them as suitable for everyday use. Whether a style is right for your situation depends on the fabric, fit, temperature and activity. A cotton T-shirt or bodysuit can be practical for home and nursery; shorts or a tank top are more suited to warmer days.
How long it lasts depends on growth, how often it is worn, washing and the material. A garment may still be in good technical condition but become too small. Regularly check the length of sleeves, trouser legs and bodysuits. With shoes and sandals, fit and room for the toes are at least as important as the visible condition of the material.
