Trendy kids clothes brands manufacture their sizes based on the percentile of the boy or girl, that is, based on the measurements that are considered common according to factors such as age, weight, and height. Maranda has its own size guide so that you have an orientation and your clothes fit like a glove. For Kids clothing, however, many other factors must be taken into account. The reason? Not all children weigh or measure the same at a certain age.

Tricks of a lifetime

The sizing is an orientation guide elaborated according to an average. In fact, it is common to find child sizes grouped by fairly wide age ranges, for example, 6 to 36 months in babies or 2 to 9 years in children. In this sense, and since it is known that children are constantly growing, a very common trick is to "estimate high" in order to increase the life of the garments. Another classic is to transfer the clothes of the little ones and inherit those of other friends and family, although there is the polarity of opinions. According to a survey carried out a few years ago by Vente-privee in Spain, 58% of children inherit little or no clothes, compared to 42% who do receive clothes from friends or relatives.

From 3 months to 3 years

At this stage, the comfort and quality of the fabric for the delicate skin of babies should be prioritized. For this reason, Mapanda is committed to organic cotton garments, soft and easy to iron. Dungarees are a great option for children of these ages as they are adjustable and unisex, while garments with an adjustable waist such as culottes and those with automatic snaps are essential, especially in the first months of the baby's life.

From 3 to 6 years

At these ages, children just want to run, jump, and play, so off-road garments and resistant, easy-to-wash fabrics will be the target. All kinds of shirts, pants, and dresses come into play. Although they are still small, they begin to want to participate in choosing what to wear and whatnot. Filling your closet with color with fun clothes, animal prints, and all kinds of characters will encourage them to see clothes and fashion as a way to have fun, a sweatshirt or a dress can also be fun!

From 6 to 11 years

It is, in this long period, when children usually demand what they want to wear and whatnot. Although parents should always make a filter, the expert in child psychology Julia Pascual assures in an interview for La Vanguardia that, "dressing the little ones as adults is a shame, because you don't let the child be a child." A good alternative is to offer two or three previously chosen proposals and for the child to choose them, so they will also feel that they are part of the decision and that will motivate them. Prioritize comfort and pleasant textures, although the variety of fabrics begin to intervene at an older age.
