Carter's vs Gap sizing/fit

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

DS is 6.5wks and 13.5+lbs. His Carter's 3mo sized clothes have maybe a week or 2 left in them. I have noticed I exclusively favor Carter's stuff when they are this little; the stuff wears and washes so well! So because I only have Carters stuff to compare to, I need to know how Gap stuff compares.

If you have both brands of clothing in your DCs closet right now, which sizes fit?

    On Gap's website, people rate the items... including if they fit "true to size" or not. That might help you too!

    I think they are about the same.  DD is the same age as your son, but about 11.5 lbs.  She fits into the 3 months carters stuff pretty well and wears 0-3 from Gap.  Both seem to be about the same fit.  Not sure about the next size up, but the smaller sizes seem to be quite comparable.

    This.  I haven't noticed a difference between the 3M Carter's or 0-3 Baby Gap clothes.

    they're cut about the same so your LO will likely wear the same size in both brands.  some of landon's gap things seem a little bit wider to me, though so they fit "baggier".

    I have found they run about the same. However- Old Navy runs a lot smaller!

    I find Carter's does wash a bit better than the Gap clothes at times- less shrinkage (I wash in cold h2o).
