Choosing a new outfit or pair of shoes for your child may seem straightforward, but small details can make a big difference. The wrong size can quickly become too small, an awkward fastening may mean the item stays in the wardrobe, and an attractive fabric can be difficult to care for. When buying children's clothes and shoes, a sensible purchase is therefore about more than just colour or brand. Size, material, use and care are what really matter.
Age indications are useful as a starting point, but children do not all grow at the same rate. For baby clothes, height is often a more accurate guide. For example, size 056 refers to approximately 56 centimetres, while size 098 is around 98 centimetres. Always check the size chart and compare it with your child's current height.
The risk is greater with shoes: a pair that is too short can quickly become uncomfortable. Measure both feet and check the recommended foot length or EU size in the product information. A roomy fit is not the same as a shoe that is much too large.
Words such as “extra comfortable”, “sustainable” or “ideal for active children” do not always explain how a product is made. Instead, look for specific details:
Claims about performance or comfort are not a guarantee for every child. A brand's own research may highlight certain features, but in practice, the experience also depends on fit, activity and personal preference.
A garment that can only be washed carefully requires more time than cotton baby clothes with clear washing instructions. Shoes may also need extra care. Before buying, check whether the item needs to be cleaned by hand, cannot go in the tumble dryer or is sensitive to heat or direct sunlight.
For clothes for babies and toddlers, freedom of movement and a practical opening are important. Short-sleeved baby bodysuits are useful on warmer days and under trousers or a dress. Pay attention to the poppers, neck opening and whether the bodysuit is long enough between the shoulders and crotch.
With girls' and boys' clothing, sets can save time. A shirt with matching children's shorts is easy to put together, while a girls' skirt can be suitable for a smart or playful outfit. Check whether the waistband is adjustable or elasticated if your child falls between two sizes.
Cotton is a commonly used material for baby sets, bodysuits and pyjamas. A composition of 95% cotton and 5% elastane can provide a little extra stretch. Other items are made from 100% cotton, while some skirts contain a combination of cotton, polyester and elastane.
The fibre composition does not tell you everything about softness or fit. So also check the product photos, construction and washing instructions. For everyday use, straightforward care instructions are often more practical than a material that requires special treatment.
For children's trainers, the difference between hook-and-loop fastenings and laces is significant. Hook-and-loop fastenings help young children put their shoes on independently. A rubber sole may be suitable for everyday use, but always check the size and fit of each model.
With Crocs children's shoes, low weight, ventilation holes and a pivoting heel strap all play a role. Baby sandals are most suitable when the size, fastening and fit are appropriate for the intended use. Shoes for school, outdoor play or special occasions do not necessarily need to have the same features.

Measure your baby's height and compare it with the size shown on the product page. Also check the age indication, but do not use it as your only criterion. If you are choosing between two sizes, the size chart and the amount of freedom of movement you want can help you decide.
This depends on growth, how often the garment is worn, the material and your washing routine. A garment may still be in good condition, but no longer fit because your child has grown. Follow the care label, avoid unnecessarily high temperatures and regularly check seams, poppers and elastic.
Check the foot length, EU size, width and fastening. Also look at the upper and sole materials and read the care instructions. If you are unsure, it is best to measure the foot again before buying children's shoes online.
