Toddler T-Shirt Size Guide India (1–6 Years)

Toddler T-shirt sizes in India usually run from 1 to 6 – loosely matching your child's age. But "loosely" is the key word: a tall two-year-old often needs size 3, and nothing ends playtime faster than a tee that rides up. Here's how to get it right.

Toddler T-shirt size chart (India)

Size	Age	Approx. height	Approx. chest
1	6–12 months	68–76 cm	46–48 cm
2	1–2 years	76–86 cm	48–51 cm
3	2–3 years	86–96 cm	51–53 cm
4	3–4 years	96–104 cm	53–55 cm
5	4–5 years	104–110 cm	55–57 cm
6	5–6 years	110–116 cm	57–59 cm

Measurements are approximate. Height is the most reliable guide – measure your child against a wall, barefoot.

Three rules for a fit that lasts

1. Measure height, not age. Age labels assume average growth; your child is not an average, they're a person.

2. When between sizes, go up. Toddlers grow roughly one size a year. A slightly loose tee today fits perfectly in three months and still fits in nine.

3. Check the shoulders. If seams sit off the shoulder edge, the tee is too big to be comfortable; if they pull, it's outgrown – regardless of what the label says.

Fabric and fit for Indian weather

Look for 180 GSM bio-washed cotton: light enough for summer, substantial enough to keep its shape. Every Tiny Sprouts toddler T-shirt uses this fabric with eco-friendly, skin-safe prints – in sizes 1–6 across dozens of colours and designs.

FAQs

My child is 2.5 years old – size 3 or 4?

Measure height. Around 90 cm → size 3; nearing 96 cm → size 4 and enjoy the longer wear.

Do cotton T-shirts shrink after washing?

Quality pre-shrunk, bio-washed cotton shrinks minimally. Wash in cold water and skip the dryer to keep the fit true.
