Education: What is a toddler size anyway? Just when you thought you understood European shoe sizing for yourself, you are introduced to the baby world of infant sizing and toddler sizing. Here is a guide to understanding how to shop for your future protégé!
Infant sizing is month sizes and can alter somewhat by manufacturer. For the most part you will find:
1M (meaning 1 month or up to 8 pounds)
3M
6M
12M
18M
24M
Occasionally, you will find manufacturers who produce 9 month clothing or those that make a range of sizing meaning 0-3 months. When there is a range of sizing, the highest size is the 'maximum' size. However, you will always find that your baby may not exactly fit into these pre-determined sizes. Just like adults, babies come in all shapes and sizes. You will also see a variation between manufacturers. While daunting, purchasing clothing will become easier over time once you understand how your little one is growing. When in doubt, please call or email our boutique for advice, or go one size larger than normal.
Toddler sizes
2T (2 toddler; meaning age 2)
3T
4T
So, what is the difference between 24 months and 2T? Well, the 2T will be slightly wider and longer. The 2T size refers to when the child is older than 24 months and can last longer in the closet. It is not unusual for smaller children to run a size behind or larger children to run a size ahead of their age.
Girl/Boy Sizes

6X (girl only)

This size refer to age. A 4 will be slightly wider and longer than a 4 toddler. A 6x is made for girls only and is also slightly wider and longer. It is also common for European manufacturers to place an A or Y after the size (to represent Anos or Year).

Shoe Sizing:
This is what we find the most difficult since some babies feet are wider than others and babies feet grow so quickly. As a general rule of thumb, you can use the following guide. Also, it is wise to check for 1-3 year olds every other month to see if they need a larger size.
European sizing varies by manufacturing, so please use the grid as a reference point. It may vary slightly by manufacturer but proves true for the current lines we carry.
