children's place sizing?

DS needs new pants.  I don't normally shop at Children's place but they have what I want -- lightweight roll-up pants. 

I am not sure whether I should order a 4T or a size 4. He's 40 inches tall and at least 35 lbs which would be too big for the 4T but I don't know if they run big/small, etc.  I know in Circo at Target the pants are always way bigger than the stated size and I know what size he is at Old Navy.

Help please!

  • Hmmmm. My daughter is 35 lbs and 37.75 inches tall. SHe fits perfectly in 3T pants right now at Children's Place, but needs a 4T at Target, Gap, ON. 

    I feel like CHildren's Place sizing is very similar to Gymboree.

  • I buy from Children'sPlace a lot and I've always ordered a size up for infants (under 12 months) but for toddlers they are a little closer to size. DD can wear 2T to 3T, so Children's Place I'll always get 3T, if that makes sense.

  • Also, I forget if in the 4's they still have the adjustable waists. I know 4T does for sure, so maybe check on that too.

  • I found that infant sizes ran small but after 12 months they ran big.  Lucas wears 2T in most places but he's still in 24 months at Children's Place (with plenty of room) in them.  He's definitely not ready for the 2T there. 

    He's 29 pounds and 34 inches.

  • Thanks!  I'm going to go with size 5s I think. From the pp it looks like their sizing is right on and when I looked at it again, he'd only have 2 lbs and 2 inches of wiggle room in the size 4, none in 4t.  And I'm hoping to make it through the rest of the summer with the stuff I'm buying now.  

    It makes me want to cry a little that he's not yet 3 and he's already in boy clothes. :(

  • I get DD a 3T from CP but they are a little big for N, she is just barely out of a 2T or 24 month though.  I find that they run pretty similar to the Circo brand for us.
  • My son is 43-44 inches tall. I bought him size 5 jeans a few months back. They are VERY long on him and baggy. He easily wears 5s at Old Navy, but the CP was significantly longer. I would go with the 4s if I was you.

    This is exactly the info I need!  Thank you!  How was the waist?  I know the pants I picked have adjustable waist and they roll up so they seem pretty adjustable on the way down but I'm not sure the size 4 will give him enough room to grow.

  • I know the pants you're referring to and I buy them every year.  Ryan is pretty skinny - not quite 40 lbs and he's tall.  I buy him the 4ts in both those pants and in their jeans. They fit perfect around the waist but they're too short.  Rolled up, they'd be fine on him....I've just never rolled them. I know that they're "okay" to do it but if feels so "capri-ish" to me.   Maybe I'm the strange one!  LOL

    (So after that long synopis, I'd probably go with the 4t over the regular 4).

    Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.

  • There is a huge difference in the shorts and pants sizes 4T and big boy 5. I bought Ty size 5s last year and they are still big on him. I find CP to run true to size in shirts but big in pants.

    He has been in big boy 5s for over a year from Target and Old Navy.
  • Thanks for all the feedback! So 4s are likely to be my better bet given the last few posts from mom's of boys, rather than the early posts from mom's of girls.  I'm sure the 4T isnt' going to work for us since he's already as big as the top of that size guideline on their website.  Well at least not if I want them to fit for very long.  And since I can adjust them at the waist to make them smaller and mom's of boys say they run big, I'll do big boy size 4.
