ST parents, can you please help me re: children clothes sizing? Looking to buy a winter coat for this coming year. Do most kids for in the size based - kelly Apr 10, 14:16 27
- (Also, at that age, do I want to buy a regular coat, or a full-body snowsuit type of deal?) -- nm - kelly Apr 10, 14:28 8
  - just a coat. what does a 1 yr old do in the snow? - TFox Apr 10, 14:29 7
    - It's going to be summer in the midatlantic, woman -- nm - con_carne Apr 10, 14:49 2
      - (hee.) -- nm - b. Apr 10, 15:05
      - Hm. - con_carne Apr 10, 14:50
    - Ha ha. No, I know he won't be in the snow then. - kelly Apr 10, 14:35
    - don't listen to him - I was on ski's at 14 months -- nm - JenBro Apr 10, 14:35
    - wish they lived in the southwest where it would be 75 outside? -- nm - peglegpete Apr 10, 14:32
    - laughin at your IM. -- nm - loosilu Apr 10, 14:29
- hopefully your secret santa this year will have a closet full of outgrown perfect clothes -- nm - peglegpete Apr 10, 14:20
- Lil' Vermin has always worna size higher than her age designates, but yeah, in ANY case, buy a size up so it lasts longer. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 10, 14:18
- Ours was spot on for clothing sizes until 5 or so. - spamlet Apr 10, 14:18 2
  - my sister's boys (18 months apart) were totally different build and wore the same size for quite a while. - loosilu Apr 10, 14:20
  - be it 12 or 18 months, the baby still will be comically immobile when bundled. -- nm - TFox Apr 10, 14:19
- Always buy a size ahead. I would get the 18 month. - Kim Pine Apr 10, 14:17 8
  - I was thinking this too, but I feel like that jacket might swim on him in, say, December, when he'll only be 10 months old. -- nm - kelly Apr 10, 14:20 7
    - Hmmm...maybe. It's a close call. He'll probably span both sizes in the time he needs a coat, honestly. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 10, 14:22 6
      - a perk of a winter coat that's too big is if his hands don't make it out of the sleeves, no need to jam his baby hands into tiny mittens. -- nm - TFox Apr 10, 14:23 5
        
        And hell, if this year is any indication, next winter should probably mid-70s every day all around the country. -- nm - Kim Pine Apr 10, 14:27 4
        
        "What size winter sweater vest should I get?" -- nm - TFox Apr 10, 14:28 3

        Hah. I could have actually worn my pants on my actual waist today. - TFox Apr 10, 14:48
        
        Hahahahaha! Oh fuck no -- nm - T-Fox's NutriSystem Chart si Apr 10, 14:46
- I would a) suggest that the $10 you'll save on the coat now is not worth the annoyance of guessing wrong, but b) suggest 18 months. -- nm - TFox Apr 10, 14:16 3
  - Eh. $50 jackets at Toys R Us are marked down to $15 at the moment. I feel like that's too good of a deal to pass up. -- nm - kelly Apr 10, 14:19 2
    - I... feel like you will see deals in that range every other week from now until October. - TFox Apr 10, 14:21 1
      - Honestly, I don't really feel like buying him anything. My mother and aunt have been spoiling him rotten so he has *plenty* of stuff. - kelly Apr 10, 14:27
