Use the tips & visuals in this guide to make taking your child's body measurements easy-peasy. Don't have a fabric tape measure? Use a shoelace or pant leg to measure. Then, lay it flat & use a ruler or tape measure to get a numerical measurement.

HEIGHT: Have your child stand in front of the fridge. Mark the top of the head with a magnet. Measure a straight line from floor to magnet.

CHEST: Have your child make airplane arms. Wrap tape measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping it level & snug.

WAIST: With your child bending to one side, measure the point where the waist flexes naturally. Keep the tape level & comfortably loose.

HIP: Have your child stand like a tall tree with feet together. Measure a level line around the fullest part of the hips & seat.

INSEAM: Take a pair of pants that fit your child well. Measure along the seam from crotch to leg opening.
