This guide will help you select the correct size across Bebeconfort's childrenswear and footwear ranges.
How to Measure
- Height: Measure your child barefoot, heels together, feet flat on the floor, and head level. Record the measurement in centimetres.
- Chest: Place a soft measuring tape around the fullest part of the chest, beneath the arms and across the shoulder blades. Keep the tape parallel to the ground and do not pull tightly.
- Waist: Measure around the natural waistline, at the narrowest point. The tape should sit comfortably without constricting.
- Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the bottom and hips. Keep the tape level all the way around.
- Inside Leg: With your child wearing shoes, measure from the top of the inside leg at the crotch to the top of the shoe or ground. This is the most reliable measurement for trouser length.
- Foot Length: Have your child stand on a flat surface. Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure from the heel to the tip of the longest toe. Measure both feet, as children often have one slightly larger foot.

Product-Specific Guidance
Everyday Clothing
Bebeconfort everyday clothing ranges, including t-shirts, jumpers, and casual trousers, are designed with growing room in mind. We recommend selecting your child's true size for a comfortable fit that allows for layering and movement. If your child is between sizes, choose the smaller size to avoid excess fabric that may cause tripping or discomfort during active play. Always check the inside leg measurement if purchasing trousers; Bebeconfort offers various leg lengths to accommodate different heights within each size.
Outerwear & Jackets
Outerwear is cut slightly roomier to permit wearing of warm layers underneath. If your child prefers a snug fit, select one size down from the clothing chart; if they prefer generous room for layering, select one size up. Pay attention to the chest measurement, as outerwear fit is primarily determined by this dimension. Sleeve length in jackets is sized to the standard inside leg or height, so verify both measurements before ordering.
Footwear
Bebeconfort shoes are constructed with supportive soles and secure fastenings to encourage natural foot development and stability during walking and play. Always measure both feet, as children frequently have one slightly larger foot; purchase shoes to fit the larger foot. Leave approximately half a centimetre of space between the longest toe and the end of the shoe to accommodate swelling and ensure comfort during active wear. Pre-walkers and soft-soled shoes should fit snugly around the heel to prevent slipping.
Socks & Accessories
Bebeconfort socks are sized by foot length in centimetres and are designed with reinforced heels and toes for durability. Refer to the foot length column in the shoe size chart and select socks corresponding to your child's current shoe size. If your child is between sizes, opt for the larger size to prevent tightness that may restrict circulation.
Sizing Tips
- Measure in the evening: Feet swell throughout the day as children play and move. Measure foot length and shoe fit in the late afternoon or evening for the most accurate sizing.
- Remeasure every 3 months: Children's feet grow rapidly, especially between ages 2 and 8. Remeasure height, chest, waist, and foot length every three months to ensure clothing and shoes remain appropriately sized.
- Check heel fit in shoes: The heel counter should be snug but not tight. There should be no slipping when your child walks, and no red marks on the foot after removal. Poor heel fit causes blisters and affects gait development.
- Allow room for growth in shoes: A gap of approximately 1.5 centimetres between the longest toe and the shoe end is ideal for growing children and allows for natural foot swell during activity. Do not purchase shoes too large, as excess space leads to tripping and poor balance.
- Consider width when available: Bebeconfort offers standard and wider fittings in select shoe styles. If your child's foot is broad across the ball or instep, consult the product description or contact customer service to confirm width availability before ordering.
- Verify fastenings are secure: Bebeconfort uses velcro straps, buckles, and laces depending on shoe design. Ensure your child can fasten and unfasten their own shoes, or select styles with secure velcro for easy adjustment and independence.
- Check fabric content for sensitivities: Review the fibre composition listed on each product label. Bebeconfort uses natural and synthetic blends; if your child has known fabric sensitivities or skin conditions, verify material content before purchase.
- Do not rely on age alone: Children develop at different rates. A 6-year-old may wear size 5, 6, or 7 depending on height and build. Always measure your individual child rather than assuming age-based sizing.
