Size Guide for Children & Baby

 

We find it important that you can find the right size right away. This reduces unnecessary returns and reorders. Measure your child and check our size instructions under (almost) all articles. We are working on having a detailed size guide for all our clothing and shoes. Most of our clothes are designed for the child to grow into them—we call this smart features. Read more about it here.

 

Children's Clothing

Geggamoja's clothing is generally true to size or slightly larger. Our ambition is to always have an updated size guide for all our garments so you can measure specific items for the right fit you desire.

In most cases regarding children's clothing, sizes are calculated based on centilong (cl), meaning the child's height in centimeters from head to toe. Our general advice is to choose the size closest to the child's current height. For example, if the child is 97 cm tall, choose size 98/104.

Fit:

The fit of children's clothing is, of course, very important. We want the garment to fit well and not restrict the child's movement and play, while also ensuring it doesn't become too small too quickly. Children's clothing should never hinder natural movement. The size should allow enough room for the child to jump, crawl, run, hang, bike, climb, and embark on all sorts of adventures. Imagine walking in pants that are so long they keep falling down or having to shake your hands out of the sleeves. So too big, too small, or too tight are out—we aim for that perfect fit.

Pants should stay up when the child runs quickly, end around the ankle, and be roomy enough for the child to sit comfortably. Geggamoja's soft pants have cuffs, allowing room to grow without the child tripping over the ends. Leggings and tights can also be slightly larger. Jeans, on the other hand, should be bought to fit now; otherwise, they risk becoming tight under outerwear or around the waist.

Good to know:

The measurements in the size guides available on each product on the website refer to the measurement of the garment, i.e., the measurement of the sleeve on this specific shirt. This allows you as a customer to determine how the garment should fit on the child. A simple way to see what size you need is to take a fitting garment from home and measure it, then choose the matching size from our collection.

Outerwear

How should you think about the size of outerwear? It's important to have room for extra layers underneath the outerwear. You should be able to wear an extra sweater and fleece under the shell jacket without it feeling tight over the shoulders. The child should be able to raise their arms straight up without their stomach becoming visible or the sleeves riding up over their wrists.

The size of the shell pants should also allow for mid-layers, and the child should be able to sit down without feeling restricted. While it may be tempting to buy shell pants that are a bit big so the child can grow into them, it's important that the leg openings do not go down under the feet or shoes, as they can wear out unnecessarily. Try them on with shoes and ensure it’s not tight when footrests are attached under the shoes. A few high knee lifts, climbing onto a table, and crawling around can usually be a good test to see if you have the right size.

To simplify the choice of outerwear, we have several guides we recommend you read:
-If you don't know which outerwear to choose, you can read a guide for that HERE.
-If you want to know more about the layering principle, you can read HERE.
-If you want to know the difference between shell clothing and rainwear, as well as their different functions, you can read HERE.

Questions and Answers About Children's Sizes

  • How do I choose the right size for children's clothing?

    To choose the right size for children's clothing, we recommend measuring your child's height and comparing it with our size chart. Our sizes are listed in centimeters and reflect the garment size—i.e., the length of the sleeve/pant leg of that specific item. If your child is between two sizes, choose the larger one for extra freedom of movement.
  • How do I know if my child's clothes fit well?

    Clothes should fit comfortably without restricting your child's freedom of movement. Pants should not slip down or be too tight at the waist, and shirts and jackets should cover the body fully without being too large. Use our size guide and measure your child to ensure the right fit.
  • What should I consider when choosing sizes for children's outerwear?

    When selecting outerwear, such as overalls and jackets, we recommend choosing a size that allows for layering underneath. Make sure the clothing is not too big so that the child doesn’t trip, but still roomy enough to allow for growth throughout the season.
  • How often should I update my child's clothing sizes?

    Children grow quickly, so it's a good idea to check sizes each season. Many children may need to update their wardrobe two to three times a year to ensure that the clothing fits comfortably and is suitable for the weather and activities.
  • Are there any tips for choosing clothes that will last longer?

    One tip is to choose adjustable garments that have features like elastic or buttons. Many of Geggamoja's items have cuffs that can be rolled up or down at the legs and sleeves to extend their usability. We also offer bodysuits with "extended size," which means they have double rows of buttons in the crotch for adjustable fit.

Caps

When buying a cap, one option is to go by age. This usually works well and is fairly accurate. However, there are always exceptions where a child has a larger or smaller head. Therefore, we recommend measuring the circumference of the head before choosing a size. Measure across the forehead and around the widest point of the head.

When you can fit a couple of fingers comfortably under the hat's brim, it is the right size. If the hat is too small, it will ride up or leave marks on the forehead. A hat that is too large is also problematic because it may slip down over the eyes and interfere with playtime.

Geggamoja also offers premature hats, which are suitable for newborns or premature babies. Check the product page for specific measurements.

Thin hats made of bamboo or cotton are very stretchy. If your child's measurements fall between sizes, we recommend buying the smaller size.

Here we have a guide to our various hats where you can see which hats are suitable for which seasons.

Sun Hats & Caps

When buying a sun hat, one option is to go by age. This generally works well and is fairly accurate. Again, there are always exceptions where a child may have a larger or smaller head. Therefore, we recommend measuring the head's circumference before selecting a size. Measure across the forehead and around the widest point of the head.

Geggamoja offers sun hats in cotton and bamboo, as well as special UV hats and caps.

The sun hats are elastic. If your child's measurements fall between sizes, we recommend buying the smaller size.

Questions And Answers About Hats and Sun Hats

  • What size hat should I choose?

    At Geggamoja, we have chosen to present hat sizes according to the child's age. Our hats are stretchy, and we rarely hear that the size doesn’t match the child’s age. See the guide above if you’re still unsure about which size to choose. You can also contact us, and we will help you with your selection.
  • Which hat is suitable for which season?

    We have a complete guide linked above with the size guide for hats, where you can find detailed information about all seasons. However, here’s a quick overview: In spring, we recommend a thin cotton or bamboo hat. In summer, we suggest a hat or cap, preferably with UV protection. In autumn, you can start with the thin spring hat and then transition to a wool or helmet hat, or one of our lined options. In winter, we recommend a lined hat that covers the ears for extra warmth.
  • How should a hat fit?

    It should fit nicely and comfortably without pressing on the head. It should not ride up on the top of the head, nor should it slide down over the eyes. If you can fit a couple of fingers between the head and the hat, it fits well! It’s also nice if it covers the ears for added warmth.

Shoes and boots


Shoes should not be bought too small, as this restricts movement. However, you need to be observant, as children often do not tell you when their shoes are too small; instead, they may curl their toes and get used to that feeling. The inner measurement of sneakers and lighter boots should be about 10-15 mm longer than the foot. For lighter summer shoes, 10 mm is usually sufficient, especially if they lack Velcro or laces. For boots or winter shoes, you can approach 20 mm to allow for an extra sock or insole. Measure the inner length of the shoe with a shoe measurer or by removing the insole and measuring that. Measuring the bottom of the shoe will not give an accurate result, as it often protrudes much more than the inner measurement.

When is it time for new shoes?

When there is 5 mm left in the shoe in front of the longest toe, it is time to buy new ones. This space is necessary to prevent the toe from hitting the shoe.

Always check the inner measurement!

As mentioned earlier, the inner measurement can vary significantly depending on the shoe model and brand. We have a separate size guide on each product page for our different shoe models to make it as easy as possible to find the right size. We recommend always measuring the feet and checking the inner measurement of the desired shoe before making a purchase.
Foot length + desired movement (recommended 10-15 mm) = the inner measurement you should look for!

 

How to Measure Feet Correctly:
1. Place a piece of paper on the floor and press it against the wall so that it stays in place (tape can work well for this).
2. Have the child stand on the paper with both heels pressed against the wall.
3. Draw a line straight from the tip of the longest toe. Some find it easier to use a book held in line with the toe and then draw along that edge.
4. Always measure both feet, as they often differ slightly.
5. Now you have the measurement of the feet, based on the longest foot.

You can also buy proper foot measurers at shoe stores; the most important thing is always to measure both feet while the child stands upright. The best measurement is usually taken in the evening/afternoon when the feet swell slightly from running around and getting warm. Young children may need to "stretch out" their toes a bit to get a completely accurate measurement.

Questions And Answers About Shoe Sizes

  • How much growing room should there be in children's boots?

    Boots can be slightly larger in size. Unlined boots are used in both colder and warmer days, so it's good to have space for thicker socks. This applies to lined boots as well, especially for colder winter days. A gap of 15-20 mm is usually a good target. If it’s the beginning of the season and you want to add a warmer insole, it’s better to aim closer to 20 mm.
  • What if my child has narrow feet?

    Yes, we are all different, and some children may have very narrow feet. In such cases, adding 15 mm is often not practical. Instead, aim for closer to 10 mm, and always ensure that the shoe is adjustable so it fits securely on the child’s narrow foot.
  • Should I choose lined or unlined rubber boots?

    We recommend lined rubber boots during autumn and winter. In rainy summer and spring weather, unlined boots are more comfortable. If it’s early spring, you should secure a pair of wool socks to wear with unlined boots. We also believe that children's rubber boots should be lightweight and easy to put on, which is why they are designed to be light for easier play and freedom of movement. Shoe weights in size: Size 21 - 177 grams | Size 28 - 268 grams | Size 35 - 399 grams
  • How often should I check shoe sizes?

    It’s recommended to check every three to four months, especially during the first few years when children's feet grow rapidly.
