My LO is in his 2T fleece jacket at 25 or months right now. It's definitely getting too short. He's 3T on tops, but still 2Ts on bottoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890634 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 15:26:35 +0000 loveisstrange 1890634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always size up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890589 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 14:54:05 +0000 birdofafeather 1890589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I size up for jackets. I feel like there's usually not a big difference between 18-24 and I'd rather have the chance of using it next season too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890588 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 14:53:03 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1890588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to size up for stuff like this and then maybe get more wear out of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890581 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 14:50:29 +0000 lamariniere 1890581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found that my son's growth really slowed down at that point, so I would probably go for the smaller one, assuming it is just slightly larger than a perfect fit. If it fits perfectly now, size up. Or size up and try to get two seasons out of it? </p> <p>My son is wearing a jacket this fall that I bought him last fall slightly too big. Last year the arms were a wee bit too long. This year it fits perfectly. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890471 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:44:32 +0000 Adira 1890471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Good point - Xander's such a peanut (although he's up to 50th percentile in weight, so not as much of a peanut as he was last winter)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890465 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:40:27 +0000 Smurfette 1890465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I got R a 18-24M from North Fleece. It fits her great. She has room in her belly, the arms have to be rolled up. A 2T would have been huge on her. She is taller and wider then Xander, so I think 18-24 would be fine for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890440 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:29:56 +0000 Adira 1890440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I'll have to check their return policy. Though I tend to be bad at returning things if I have to actually mail them back...</p> <p>@looch: hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890428 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:25:26 +0000 looch 1890428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably buy both sizes, I am a little crazy, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890423 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:24:01 +0000 Mamaof2 1890423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 1st instinct is to say 2T but then again I like for fleece to be fitting not baggy - so I might do 18-24 months - can you order both and return 1? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890422 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:24:00 +0000 Adira 1890422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: That's a good point - can't hurt to get the slightly bigger one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890414 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:21:33 +0000 blackbird 1890414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always size up a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/size-of-winter-jacket-question#post-1890409 Mon, 06 Oct 2014 13:17:29 +0000 Adira 1890409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to order a fleece jacket for Xander for the car. I can get it in 18-24 or 2T. He's currently 19 months and wearing 18 month clothes and doesn't seem like he's going to grow out of them soon... but I want to make sure whatever I get him will last the whole winter (so it needs to last until around April probably). He'll turn 2 in late February.</p> <p>Thoughts?</p> <p>ETA: Last winter I got him the jacket in 12 month and it fit him all winter! </p>
