Anyone familiar with the sizing on H&M snow suits like this one: http://www.hm.com/us/product/84406?article=84406-E?
I need this for trips around Christmas (Wisconsin) and in February (Colorado), he's currently wearing 12 month clothes. I feel like he could size out of 12 month clothes before February, unless it runs big. He's currently close to 7 mo and was almost 19 lbs, 27 inches at 6 mo appt. Any advice?

I find H&M sizing soon variable. For example, DD usually wears a 12-18 month size in every other brand, but it wearing a 4-6M sweater and 6-12M jeans from H&M right now.

I got DD a winter coat at H&M a few weeks ago and chose the smaller size (she's almost 2 and the options were either "1.5-2 years" or "2-3 years"). She's pretty much average in height and weight for her age, and she has plenty of room to grow. The 2-3 years size would have been massive on her. But it *is* H&M and sizing can be all over the place, so try before you buy is the best strategy!

@PurplePeony: My local H&M kids never has anything. I could try this weekend maybe. I'm also in SoCal, definitely not the epicenter of snow-suit needs

@Ms.Badger: ahh, gotcha. If it helps, this is the jacket I got DD (just a different color) that definitely runs big: http://m.hm.com/us/product/23710?article=23710-B . It looks like it might be similar materials/style to the snowsuit you posted.

Generally H&M runs big, but it can be hard to tell with an item like a snow suit. Have you tried Costco? Limited availability online but pretty stocked at the warehouse.

The link isn't working for me, but I would go by the height sizing. I assume H&M labels are the same as they are in Europe, which gives both age range and centimeters. I go by the centimeters and it is almost always a better indicator than the age range. I agree though that with baby/toddler sizing it generally runs big.

Maybe this link will work: http://www.hm.com/us/product/84406?article=84406-E
@lamariniere: That's so helpful, the height for 9-12 looks plenty long so I think that will be the winner for us! Thanks
