He is incredibly tall, and fairly thin in the belly, with chubbier legs. BabyGap and Carters fit him the best. He's still in 3-6m pants for his waist, but needs 6 or 9m in onesis or rompers for length. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1034476 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:45:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1034476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: my LO runs big. We got a beautiful jumper when she was two months that was 3-6. I put it on her once and the next week it was too small. It's so frustrating. She's pushing the limits on the 6-12 stuff now. I was really hoping to get five more months out of it. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1034380 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 14:18:07 +0000 Mrsbells 1034380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>16 month old, carters fits best and any of the carters sub brands like child of mine, just one you, etc.. she is tall and slim </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1034289 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:45:25 +0000 winniebee 1034289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: funny you think j and j runs small! I think their onesies run small but everything else is huge. </p> <p>LO is 15 months and proportionate but small overall. Id.say Gap fits him best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1034202 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:02:35 +0000 IcebergMom 1034202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@woodentulip: see above! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1034200 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 13:02:16 +0000 IcebergMom 1034200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love peakaboobeans.

Carters, Cherokee (Target), and Circo are all wide on him. Ralph Lauren and Gap fit perfectly. Gymbo seems to fit well too. Osh Kosh is HUGE. He has a newborn Osh Kosh outfit that is still way too big! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1033165 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:33:09 +0000 hilsy85 1033165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months, long and skinny (16th % for weight, 90th% for height!). </p> <p>Carter's generally works well, their clothes fit his torso nicely, baby gap length fits great but is usually too baggy on him in the waist (I size down in pants unless they have adjustable waists). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1033130 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:22:01 +0000 LuLu Mom 1033130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's 10 1/2 months old and 75% for height/10% for weight</p> <p>Carter's work the best seem to be made for a stringbean </p> <p>Children's Place is pretty true to size</p> <p>Old Navy &amp; Gap we get a size down (she was wearing 3-6 months shorts at 9 months) </p> <p>Gymboree &amp; H&amp;M run big so I get a size down for pants, regular size for shirts </p> <p>Target Circo is very true to size, we get a lot here.

We buy her regular size.<br /> Gap fits fine but a little baggy. We only own tops from there.<br /> H&amp;M runs WAY large, we size down.<br /> Gymboree fits well, but leans toward being wide. TTS for us.<br /> Crazy 8 fits really well, they run thinner/skinnier than Gymboree. We buy her regular size or size up.<br /> Circo runs big all over. We size down.<br /> Old Navy is fine, we dont buy there much. We generally buy her regular size.</p> <p>Overall, Carters and Gymbo/Crazy 8 are our favorites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032967 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:26:36 +0000 Smurfette 1032967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 months, and under 20% for her weight and 50-60% for height. So far Carter's and GAP fit her the best. Gymboree and Crazy 8 are still a little big in the waist for her. Circo (Target) seems to run big on her as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032919 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:08:07 +0000 bushelandapeck 1032919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 mos, average height, 80% for weight, Carters, Baby Gap, Children's Place.<br /> We buy a little bigger because he wears cloth diapers and they give him a big diaper butt :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032915 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:05:10 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1032915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your LO sounds like mine. She's long, but she has never been very big weight wise. She's not very wide. I find Carter's fits her the best. Baby GAP is way too big. I also noticed that Children's Place fit her decently, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032759 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 00:28:40 +0000 googly-eyes 1032759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@deerylou: we have a long/tall baby too, and carters has fit really well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032717 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 23:21:06 +0000 birdofafeather 1032717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is 99th for height and depending on the month 40-60th in weight. carters fit her almost perfectly, although she's still in their 6 month onesies at 7 months (with cloth diapers!) but i probably stretch things out. gap is wider, but long and ON fits too, although it's shorter than gap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032622 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 21:32:45 +0000 78h2o 1032622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 99th for height and 75th for weight... she wears a lot of J&amp;J and Gap (mostly true to age, but J&amp;J is a little on the large size). Carters fits her well (seems narrower), but I have to majorly size up sometimes. </p> <p>I feel like Ralph Lauren and Tea run small but both fit her well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032598 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 21:18:16 +0000 woodentulip 1032598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I almost exclusively buy a Canadian brand called Peekaboo Beans. It is ridiculously expensive but I love it on my kids, and it is so darn cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032575 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 21:11:41 +0000 shopaholic 1032575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5.5 months old. Last visit 76th for height and 23rd for weight. I think she seems pretty average. </p> <p>She wears a lot of Baby Gap, Tea Collection, and Carters with no issues.<br /> Gymboree, Little Me, Pumpkin Patch, Old Navy, and Osh Kosh seems to run wide or big overall. I think H&amp;M runs terribly big, she hasn't fit anything from there yet!<br /> Juicy Couture, Janie and Jack, and Ralph Lauren always fit K well. She outgrows Ralph Lauren the first always though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032574 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 21:11:30 +0000 yoursilverlining 1032574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>14 months, about 75% for height and 60-something for weight...</p> <p>Carters runs true to size for us - we're maybe a little bit ahead, sizewise?<br /> Children's Place runs true to size<br /> Ralph Lauren runs large<br /> Janie &amp; Jack runs really large<br /> BabyGap runs unpredictably, but wide. We have a pair of 6-12m pants that are still way too long for LO, and 2 pairs of 18-24m pants that are 3" different in length, and fit now at 14m. The last 2 pairs of pants are the same style, bought at the same time. Yeah, thanks Gap. That's helpful. </p> <p>Tea brand seemed to run a bit big (we only had Tea stuff in newborn and 0-3, so can't say past that)<br /> We don't have any Target brand so I'm not sure about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032560 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 21:05:29 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1032560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10m, proportionate, 50th% weight 50th% height.</p> <p>He wears 9m or 9-12m.<br /> Ralph Lauren fits well althoguh RL in general is small.<br /> Carter's fits well but I don't love carter's.<br /> My favorite right now is probably Jumping Beans shorts (Kohls, Macy's...). He has maybe 6 shorts from that brand that fit awesomely.<br /> He also wears a ton of Nike and Under Armor, so I love those brands.<br /> Calvin Klein and Guess jeans work, although they run small ing general.<br /> H&amp;M runs huge.<br /> The by far best is Children' Place. He fits it so well and everything looks good and nothing is too wide or snug.<br /> Old navy fit his body well too although we only have a few pieces from ON. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032516 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 20:44:59 +0000 emg86 1032516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3.5 months old, super long and skinny. </p> <p>Carter's fits really well and true to size.<br /> Janie and Jack fits her really well too.<br /> I love Baby Gap but some stuff is just way too wide.<br /> Ralph Lauren fits hers well.<br /> Gymboree has been hit or miss, same with Old Navy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032496 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 20:36:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1032496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seven months. Very proportionate. Same height/weight percentile. </p> <p>Carters fits her well but she has to wear two sizes up and is starting to stretch out 12 month sleepers, but 18 month ones seem way too big. I think my answer will be different next week.</p> <p>BabyGap is one of the only brands that has fit true to size for us but I find the length to not match up well with the width. </p> <p>Janie and jack works well, but runs small.</p> <p>We don't have any target stuff.</p> <p>I can't seem to get anything from oldnavy that is sized uniformly so I skip it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-brand-or-store-fits-your-lo-best#post-1032469 Tue, 20 Aug 2013 20:27:25 +0000 deerylou 1032469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you could, list your child's age, body type, and the clothing brand or store that fits him/her best. I'm interested if there are shops or brands I'm neglecting to check out for our little string bean.</p> <p>Our daughter is almost 5 weeks old, relatively long, but teeny. We've found that Carters fits her like a glove. We have a few Baby Gap items that work well, and the footless H&amp;M sleepers have been decent, also. </p> <p>Gymboree and Circo (Target) currently run *way* too wide. </p>
