Introduction
Children grow quickly, so shopping for clothes can be difficult. Here are some tips.
Size
Children's clothing sizes are based on age or height (eg 68, 74, 80). Since children grow at different rates, measure your child's height and compare to the brand's size chart. Buy a little bigger to make the fabric last longer.
Material
Prefer natural materials - cotton, bamboo, wool. They are breathable, soft and less allergenic. Synthetic fibers can cause sweating and irritation. Clothes intended for babies should not be treated with flame retardants.
Durability
Children smear, stretch, crawl. Check the seams, buttons, zippers - they should be strong. Double knees on trousers, reinforced elbows - they extend the life of the fabric.
Functionality
Easy to put on and take off - wide neckline, buttons in front, zippers. Diaper bags - convenient for babies to change diapers. Adjustable braces, elastics - room for growth.
Used clothes
An excellent choice has been used for children's clothes - children grow out of them before the fabric wears out. Check for stains, wear, stretching. Always wash before use.
