Baby and children’s clothing needs to be practical as well as appealing. Sizing, materials, care instructions and the child’s stage of development should all be checked on the retailer’s product page.
Use measurements and age only as a starting point
Age bands are a guide and can vary between brands. Check height, chest, waist or weight information where supplied, and allow for layers when appropriate.
Think about everyday use
Consider how easily an item can be put on, removed and washed. Check fastening placement, fabric composition, care temperature and whether decorative parts could make the garment uncomfortable.
Review safety information
Read all warnings and age guidance supplied by the retailer or manufacturer. Pay particular attention to sleepwear guidance, cords, small decorative components and products intended for use around heat or open flames.
Check what is included
Product photography may show several coordinated items even when only one is supplied. Read the description and contents carefully before ordering.
