The Children’s Place Pull On Straight Toddler Pants

When buying children’s pants, consider the expected wear and tear based on your child’s activity level and age. Older children will be more active and may need thicker, stiffer material while younger children will need more soft and comfortable fabrics.

Consider also the weather in your area at the time of your purchase. If it tends to be cooler where you live, investing in sweatpants or even snow pants can be a good move before winter hits.

While it usually pays to check reviews before buying, note that children’s clothing assessments can be a bit confusing. When reading reviews for any toddler pants, you will see conflicting statements about the garments running large or small. Every child is unique, and the sizes listed for toddlers are more of a general guideline. You will do yourself a favor by purchasing a slightly larger size than the charts indicate; even if it doesn’t fit now, it will later.

• Look for specific measurements from the clothing manufacturer, instead of generic sizes. Every kid is different, and what fits one 3-year-old won’t always fit another.
• Functional pockets on children’s pants are a blessing and a curse; they enable your child to carry their favorite things and build independence. They also enable your child to fill those pockets with crayons, mud and worms, any of which might end up going through the washing machine and dryer.
• If you find a pair of pants that fits your child well, consider buying it in several colors or styles.
