What size is your child?

Age, weight, standing height, seated height, torso size, size in shirts, size in pants. Also, if you feel your child has a long torso or whatever you can include that too. :)

I'm trying to get a better feel for "normal."

9 years, 9 months old
100-105 pounds (she fluctuates a lot lately)
5 feet 1 inch tall

Unsure of exact torso height, but she's too tall for all highback boosters except the Frontier, so I'd guess 22+ inches.

In kids/girls, she can wear size 14-16 or XL, in juniors tops she wears medium most often, but sometimes small, depending on the cut of the shirt. In juniors pants she wears anywhere from a 5-7, again depending on the cut. In leggings she usually needs juniors medium, which is usually size 7-9. She wears women's size 9-10 shoes now. :eek:

DS is 3 years 11 months, 29lbs and 36 1/2". Not sure of his torso but very short! Anyone know what the 2nd slot from the bottom on a classic MA is? He's right at or a hair under it.

Mali will be six in July. She's 43" tall and 38 pounds, wears a size 7/8 shirt, and size 5 pants. She has a long torso; she has long outgrown the Radian and Complete Air ;)

Scarlett just turned 4. She's 38" tall and 29 pounds, wears a 4/5 shirt, and size 4 pants. I think she has an average torso; she's on the top slots of her Radian with about an inch to grow.

Bodhi will be 2 in July. He's 32" tall and 20 pounds, wears size 12-18m shirts and size 18m pants. He's got an average torso, I think. He's in his Coccoro with about 3" of shell above his head, and has about half an inch of growing room in his Safe Seat.
