Where to get pants for a 2 yr old with a big belly?

I am finding that the 2T pants he has been wearing are getting tight in his belly. Some are from Target, some from Gymboree.  The lenght of most 2T's are fine for him (some are actually getting short)- any suggestions of brands that are not cut really slim?  He is not supersized or anything, his frame is just no where near skinny.

  • DS has a big belly right now, and I just dress him in elastic waist (sweats and track suits mostly). He doesn't wear jeans unless he needs to look really cute.

  • we're in this boat too.  she's needs a 2 1/2 T. :)  even the adjustable waists don't seem to do the job if she wears the 3T.  Old navy has been our best bet but they still don't fit super great...we wear a lot of leggings - sorry you don't really have that option!

  • I'm a fan of TCP jeans. I get them all the time for Jack and he's got a little belly. They have some with an elastic waist that are carpenter style. I love them on him. Also, some of Gap's jeans work well with him.

    ditto this.  he rarely wears jeans or kahkis for this reason.  We just can't find any with enough elastic to fit his belly..so he crys about it being too tight. =(

  • Some brands (can't think of the name, but I can usually find them at Kmart) have hidden adjustable elastic waist bands.  They work great for DD who usually outgrows the length before she does the waistbands.
  • Gymboree tends to run bigger, at least for girls.  I usually have to bring the adjustable waistband in quite a bit for DD, so you should have more room in those.

    Target runs slim.  Old Navy runs slim.

    I've heard Osh Kosh runs bigger.

    TCP runs slim for girls, but I've heard the opposite for boys.
