Height predictor

flyingsaucer · April 2014

Just for fun I used this link to predict my kids' heights. It says DD will be 5ft 9inches and DS will be 6ft 1inch!!! Some tall kiddos!! Try it! https://www.babycenter.com/child-height-predictor.

Oh man, it thinks my kid will be 4'11. Sorry shorty.

MamatoA2010 · April 2014

I tried it! It told me DD will be 5'7. I'm short and XH is almost 6'6.

DreadLoc · April 2014

her dad is 6ft but poor thing will be 5ft even. fun sized like her mama!

evaazalea · April 2014

DD 5'1", she's quite the shorty right now, almost all the women on my side of the family are 5'4". DS 5'10" same as his dad, my brother is 6'1" so we shall see.

MamatoA2010 · April 2014

@LovelyRitaMeterMaid- your DD is not little at all! My DD is 4 y/o, 40 1/2 inches tall and only 32 lbs. Now THAT's small!

DD- 5'6

DS- 6'5

That makes sense somewhat. My brother, and DH's brothers are all over 6ft tall. DD could come out to be taller since her grandmother is also over 6ft tall.

I don't think these are too accurate. My son is a shorty right now, but both his uncles were TINY on growth charts ( like barely 5ft in 10th grade) until they were late high school. They are both 6'2 now. It says he'll be 5'3. I'm 5'6 and DH is 6ft, so I doubt he'll be 5'3.

Wyatt 6'1 Levi 6'3, and Mav 6'4. I believe all of them.

At age 2, my sister was slated to be about 6 feet. She was a ridiculously tall toddler. She's 5'5. These are fun, but I feel mostly inaccurate.

M: 5'6"
E: 5'9"

Your girl will likely be 3ft. 10in at age 18.

Think I did something wrong......

ToastieSimons · April 2014

Weird. Says ds1 will be 5 6 at 18. Neither DH nor I are short

klondikebar · April 2014

The boys will be 6'2" and 6'3". DD is too old for the predictor, but I remember doing it when she was younger. I think it only predicted 5'7" and she's over that.

minervacullen · April 2014

DD is too young, but it always says 6'3" for DS.

Edit because autocorrect

FalconCrest · April 2014

DD1 will be 5'0 and DS will be 5'3. I hope poor DS is taller than that...

ASmallWonder · April 2014

These things give me anxiety

I'm only 4'11 (on my best day) and both boys are very low on the charts so they always come out around 5'6. BUT - their pediatrician was asking me about my brother who was always short but then sprouted late and is a respectable 5'10/5'11 or so. She said that height is obviously hereditary but late growth is also hereditary so they could trend after him. I've got everything crossed for that.

missyishere · April 2014

I have a different father than my two siblings, and their father is significantly taller than mine. I am 5'8", my brother is 6'7", and my sister is 5'4". By the predictor, my sister should have been several inches taller, but not so much.

RayRay007 · April 2014

5'4" which is taller than me! Good for her. That's about what I would have guessed too.

LucilleAustero · April 2014

DD will be 5'2", just like her mother.

People always say she looks small. I think it's what they say after they guess she's around two and I tell them she's actually four? Because I don't think she's small at all! She is 3'3" and she's 39 lbs. Is that small? She hovers at the 50% percentile for height and weight.

I think that's average (has someone already responded-- I haven't read past your comment). My daughter just turned 3. She's that exact height, but she is at the top of the height percentiles for her age.

My H was 4'10 until he was 16 and then sprouted up an entire foot. Boys can grow so much longer and faster than girls it seems like.

jorkz821 · April 2014

I think I must have done something wrong because it said DD will only be 5'4. I'm 5'11 and h is 6'. She's 38" and 32lb at 3yo.
