European/ US Baby Clothes Conversion


Some of our favorite brands are from Europe. A quick look at the size tag and you might notice there is something different than on a US brand tag. In Europe baby and children's clothes are listed by height and not by age. If you know you're child's height in niches you will have to convert it into centimeters. Here is a quick list of European baby clothes sizes and the US equivalent. Popular brands such as Hanna Andersson, Catimini, Absorba, Jacadi, Duex par Duex, Oilily, and Le Top might be listed with European sizing.
