Kids Clothing Size Chart
Convert kids clothing sizes between UK Age, US, EU (height cm), and CN — a reference chart for buying children's clothes abroad.
Last updated: 2026-07-22
A UK "age 5-6" might be a US 5/XS, EU 116, or CN 120, and every brand (M&S, Next, H&M, Zara Kids) has its own interpretation. This chart gives you a common reference, so you have a starting point when buying children's clothes across countries. Always check the specific brand's size chart before buying — sizing varies a lot.
Frequently asked questions
Are UK and US kids clothing sizes the same?
No. A UK age 5-6 roughly equals a US 5 (or XS), but US sizing often runs a bit larger. The age-to-size mapping also differs between brands — Next UK, Carter's US, and H&M EU all have their own charts. Use this as a rough guide only.
What do EU kids sizes like 92, 98, 110 mean?
EU children's clothing sizes are based on the child's height in centimetres. So "EU 110" means the garment is designed for a child around 110 cm tall. This is actually more precise than UK age-based sizing, since children of the same age can be very different heights.
Why are kids clothing sizes so inconsistent between brands?
There is no international standard for kids clothing sizes — each country uses its own system (age, height, or arbitrary numbers), and each brand adjusts for its own fit model. A Next UK age 5-6 fits differently from a Primark age 5-6. Always check the brand's size guide.
