Short answer: When buying baby and children’s clothes online, first check the child’s measurements, the size guide, the material, and how the clothes will be used. Also compare the total price, including delivery, and read the return policy before placing your order.
1. Measure the child before choosing a size
Start with the child’s current height. Chest, waist, and hip measurements may also be relevant depending on the clothing. Use the measurements as a starting point rather than choosing based only on age, as children of the same age can be different sizes.
2. Compare with the item’s size guide
Sizes can vary between brands and styles. So check the measurements and fit on the specific product page. If the child is between sizes, consider whether the clothes should fit closely or have room for an extra layer. Don’t automatically choose a larger size.
3. Read about the materials and care instructions
Look for information about the outer fabric, any filling, and how the clothes should be washed. For everyday use, soft, comfortable materials and easy care can make a big difference. Also check whether buttons, zippers, and other details are suitable for the child’s age and activities.
4. Choose clothes based on use and season
Clothes for daycare, school, and outdoor play should allow room to move. For cooler days, a jacket should be suitable for wearing with appropriate layers underneath. Don’t buy based only on an attractive product photo – also consider when and how the child will wear the clothes.
5. Check delivery, returns, and the total price
Compare the product price and delivery costs, and read the store’s current return policy. Check the return period, whether returns incur any costs, and how to make a return. This is especially relevant when you’re unsure about the size.
6. Buy pieces that go together
Simple tops, trousers, and leggings that go with your child’s existing wardrobe are often worn more. Choose colors and styles that can be combined in different ways, so you don’t have to buy a whole new outfit every time.
7. Judge sales by what you need - not just the discount
A deal only saves you money if the clothes actually fit and get worn. Check the sizes, material, and total price on sale items too. A short list of what your child needs makes it easier to avoid impulse purchases.
Quick checklist before you order
- Does the size match your child’s current measurements?
- Are the material, filling, and care instructions clearly stated?
- Can the child move freely in the clothes?
- Have you checked the delivery and return policies?
- Does the item go with something the child already owns?
Frequently asked questions
Should I buy children’s clothes one size larger?
Not necessarily. Clothes that are too big can bother a child, especially when they need to move around. Compare your child’s measurements with the specific product details and consider how the clothes will be used.
What matters most when buying baby clothes online?
A good starting point is a proper fit, comfortable material, easy dressing, and clear washing and return policies.
