Mini Rodini Size Guide
Mini Rodini is a Swedish children's clothing brand renowned for its playful, creative designs and high-quality craftsmanship. The brand specialises in clothing for babies and children from newborn through to approximately 11 years old, offering everything from everyday essentials to statement pieces inspired by nature, animals, and whimsical characters. Mini Rodini's sizing is height-based rather than age-based, acknowledging that children develop at different rates. The brand's philosophy prioritises comfort and freedom of movement, with generous cuts that allow for layering and room to grow. All Mini Rodini garments are designed with durability in mind, making them ideal for the active play that characterises childhood.
How to Measure Your Child
To ensure the perfect fit, follow these measurement steps:
- Height/Length: Measure your child without shoes, standing upright against a wall with heels touching the wall. Mark the top of the head and measure from the floor to this mark in centimetres. This is the most important measurement for Mini Rodini sizing.
- Chest: Measure around the fullest part of the chest with the measuring tape parallel to the ground. Keep the tape snug but not tight, and ensure your child is standing relaxed with arms at their sides.
- Waist: Measure around the natural waist (the narrowest part) at the level of the belly button. Again, keep the tape comfortably snug without pulling tight.
- Seat/Hips: Measure around the fullest part of the bottom and hips, keeping the tape parallel to the ground and at the same level all the way around.
- Inside Leg (Inseam): Have your child stand with feet together. Measure from the inner thigh at the top of the leg down to the ankle bone (or the floor for a full-length measurement).
- Record all measurements in centimetres: Write down each measurement and compare against the appropriate Mini Rodini size chart below. If your child falls between two sizes, select the size closest to their height.
Important: All measurements in Mini Rodini size charts represent body measurements, not garment measurements. Age information provided is a guideline only — always measure your child, as growth rates vary significantly. If your child is between sizes, choose the size closest to their actual height rather than age.
Kids' Clothing Size Chart (Double Sizes)
Mini Rodini's double-size system (e.g., 104/110) accommodates children across a height range. For example, size 104/110 is suitable for children measuring between 104 and 110 cm tall. This range allows for growth within a single size.

Sizing Tips for Mini Rodini
- Prioritise height over age: Mini Rodini's sizing system is height-based, not age-based. Two four-year-olds can vary significantly in height, so always measure your child and select according to their actual measurements rather than their age alone.
- Measure regularly and keep records: Children grow rapidly, especially in their early years. Take measurements every few months and keep a record so you can track growth patterns and know which size to order for future purchases.
- Account for layering: Mini Rodini pieces are designed with comfortable, generous fits that allow for layering underneath during colder months. If you plan to layer, you may want to select a size that provides additional room rather than choosing the absolute tightest fit.
- Consider the garment type: Different garments fit differently. For example, Mini Rodini's structured pieces like jackets or dungarees may have different proportions than soft knitwear or t-shirts. Check individual product descriptions and customer reviews for fit guidance on specific items.
- Don't forget the inside leg measurement: For trousers and leggings, the inside leg (inseam) measurement is crucial. Mini Rodini garments are designed for a specific height range partly because the inseam increases significantly with each size. Using the inside leg measurement ensures trousers will reach the correct length.
- If between sizes, choose the lower size for current fit or higher size for growth: When your child falls between two sizes, consider whether you want an optimal fit now (choose the smaller size) or prefer room for growth (choose the larger size). Remember, however, that choosing a size too large may compromise comfort and mobility.
- Check the fit guide for each product: Some Mini Rodini items, particularly special collections or collaborations, may have unique fits. Always read product descriptions and customer reviews to understand how individual items fit, as there can be variation across the range.
- Measure chest and waist carefully: These measurements should be taken snugly but without pulling the measuring tape tight. The tape should sit parallel to the ground and should not compress the body. An overly tight measurement will result in ordering a size that's too large.
Final Note: Mini Rodini is renowned for quality construction and timeless design, making many pieces suitable for sibling hand-me-downs. Keeping detailed measurement records of each child can help you plan purchases across multiple children and maximise the longevity of the garments. If you have any questions about fit after receiving your order, Mini Rodini's customer service team are typically helpful and can provide guidance on exchanges or returns.
