Is size 24 months the same as 2T?

I'm sure this is a dumb question - but parents/grandparents are looking to get DS clothes.  He's just starting 12 month clothes now and has plenty, so I'd like to suggest they buy 18 months for spring/early summer.  Since there aren't many spring/summer clothes out now, do you think they could buy 24 months for next winter?  Is size 24 months different than 2T??

TIA!

    I posted this question a couple of weeks ago. :)  Consensus was that 24 months fits chubbier babies better, and 2T is better for long/lean kids. You may be too far out to know which one will fit your LO better.

    Ah, too bad I missed it!  I think we have a chubby guy on our hands so we'll go with 24 months.  He's always been lower on the height percentiles and higher on the weight, plus DH and I are short so I doubt he'll be a long and lean one Stick out tongue Thanks!

    I agree. I think 24 months would be a pretty safe bet for next winter.

    We get a lot of Carters clothes and the 24 months ones are definitely shorter than 2T.  My DD #2 is not long by any means (she's very short for her age) but she is lean - so she is in 2T right now instead of 24 months (and it almost 3 years old - such a petit fleur!)

    Honestly, I wouldn't buy a year ahead, you really don't know what size he'll be and I would especially not buy at full price, all winter stuff will be on sale in early January.

    thanks for all the advice!  I'm definitely not planning to buy now, but people are asking his size to buy him gifts.  I know we don't need any more 12mo winter stuff so I feel like my only option is to tell them a size for next fall/winter.
