Clothing for babies and children needs to withstand everyday wear, feel comfortable and be easy to wash. However, it is not always obvious online which information matters most. A stylish photo or familiar brand name tells you little about the fit, fabric composition or sizing.
When buying children’s clothing online, these are three common pitfalls:
Choosing by age rather than height
A size indication such as 6 months or 2 years is only a guideline. Children do not all grow at the same rate. As a result, a size 62 garment may fit a child who is taller or shorter than the age shown on the label better.
Mistaking a soft fabric for a suitable fabric
Cotton can feel comfortable, but the composition also determines stretch, care requirements and shape retention. A T-shirt made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane behaves differently from a garment made from 100% cotton.
Treating a brand claim as a guarantee
According to Tommy Hilfiger’s product description, certain sweatshirts and hoodies are made from organic cotton. This is a product specification from the brand, not a general guarantee that every garment from the brand has the same composition. Always check the details of the individual product.
For baby and toddler clothing, the number usually refers to the child’s height in centimetres. Children’s clothing size 62 is intended, according to the stated size chart, for approximately 6 months and a height of 62 cm. This corresponds to, among other measurements, a chest measurement of 44 cm, a waist measurement of 48 cm and a hip measurement of 48 cm.
For a toddler, children’s clothing size 92 may be suitable. In the Chicco size chart, size 92 corresponds to approximately 2 years, a chest measurement of 54 cm, a waist measurement of 53 cm and a hip measurement of 58 cm. Ideally, measure your child without thick clothing and compare the result with the size chart on the product page.
Also pay attention to the cut. A long-sleeved T-shirt, baby bodysuit and sweatshirt each have a different fit. A slightly roomier garment can be practical when a bodysuit is worn underneath, but too much extra room can be inconvenient for babies.
The composition provides specific information about how the garment can be used:
European textile rules require the fibre composition to be clearly stated. Also check the washing instructions. The washing temperature, drying method and ironing instructions may vary from one product to another, even when two garments look similar.
For everyday changing, baby bodysuits and multipacks are practical. Short sleeves can feel comfortable under a jumper, while a long-sleeved T-shirt can be suitable for layering during cooler months. For older children, children’s T-shirts, long-sleeved T-shirts for children, children’s sweatshirts and children’s hoodies are easy to pair with trousers or a skirt.
When choosing baby clothing, also check:

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Measure your child’s height, chest, waist and hips, then compare these measurements with the size chart for the specific product. Age is only an indication. For example, Chicco size 62 corresponds to a height of 62 cm, while size 92 is intended for approximately 2 years.
How long clothing lasts depends on growth, how often it is worn, the material and how it is cared for. For intensive use, choose several T-shirts, bodysuits or sets so that each garment is not washed too frequently in succession. Always follow the care label and check seams, trims and fastenings regularly.
Not necessarily. According to the product description, organic cotton can be an important material feature, but fit, size, care and how the garment will actually be used are also relevant. Compare the composition and care instructions for each item before ordering.
