When we first developed the children’s clothing size chart calculator, we were thinking about what size children wear now and when they might grow out of it. A friend quickly pointed out to us, though, that it would be more helpful to know what size her kids will wear next season – it was a great idea, and one we decided to pursue!

And then it hit us: we could reverse things and not just estimate what size a child will wear on a future date, but also estimate the future date when a child will grow into a specific size.

Any time you use the Size Chart Calculator or look at size information in your account, SizeTracker will suggest the size that is most likely to fit your child comfortably. If you want to see how a size will fit each of your child’s measurements, just look for the size details icon.

What? SizeTracker can predict the future? Well…yes and no. What SizeTracker can do is analyze your child’s current measurements and give you a reasonable estimate of what clothing size they will need for some future date. It’s not magic, it’s just data and a patent-pending formula for figuring out what comes next. Learn more about this great tool and how you can use it to shop season-end sales, buy special occasion clothing, and, basically, just take the guess-work out of figuring out what clothing size to buy for your child for a future date.

As adults, we almost never see weight as a measurement on size charts – brands design their clothing to fit other body dimensions since we each gain weight differently and it affects our proportions in vastly different ways. For children, though, weight does play a role in clothing size charts – particularly during the early years.

Shape GB National Childrenswear Survey is a major research project to measure children in England that began in March 2009. The project is the first large-scale project to measure children across the country using 3D body scanners, and aims to measure 6,000 boys and girls aged 4 to 17.
