In short
Where the number just works. At 1 Month, 3 Months, Bonpoint lines up with every brand we track — the size carries straight over.
Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 4 Years, Noralee, Carter's, Little Planet by Carter's cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a Bonpoint number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

Fit & the transitions that trip parents up
Bonpoint-specific things the size number alone won’t tell you — drawn from its own charts.
Runs small — size up
A French luxury label grouped with Petit Bateau and Jacadi as coming up small, so buying a size up is the common move.
European sizing by age
Labelled by age (converted from centimeters); size to your child's height rather than the age.
Specialty & inclusive fits
Which trimmer, roomier, or adaptive cuts Bonpoint publishes alongside its standard sizes.
What shoppers say about the fit
Community consensus
Shopper opinion · not Little & Youth’s measurementThis is what parents report anecdotally — crowd sentiment, not a Little & Youth determination. Our sizing above is computed from Bonpoint’s own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.
Bonpoint runs small — buy a size up, as with most French childrenswear. Shopper discussion is sparse for this luxury label, but what exists points one way: Mumsnet and Reddit parents group Bonpoint with Petit Bateau and Jacadi as French brands that ‘come up small’, one London mother reported her 5-month-old barely squeezing into a Bonpoint 1-year bodysuit, and several note the French convention that a label like ‘6M’ means ‘fits up to 6 months’, not ‘fits a 6-month-old’. The same parents praise the fabrics and the heirloom, scaled-down-adult styling, and most say they buy it on sale or pre-loved because of the price. This block rests on roughly 30 parent comments rather than the usual review base, so treat it as a starting point and check the brand’s cm-based chart against your child’s measurements.
Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.
Should you buy Bonpoint?
Consider it if…
- You want heirloom-quality special-occasion pieces — parents describe Bonpoint fabrics as exceptional and keep the christening gowns, Liberty-print dresses and knits for years or hand them down.
- You like a quiet, neutral, scaled-down-adult look — Mumsnet shoppers single out Bonpoint and Tartine et Chocolat for design-led, muted palettes rather than character prints.
- You shop the sale or pre-loved market — nearly every parent who recommends it adds that they buy on markdown, at the Paris stock shop, or second-hand because the pieces hold their value.
Think twice if…
- You are price-sensitive — 'well pricy' and '200-euro-plus' come up in every thread; Reddit parents point to Marie Puce, Petit Bateau or H&M for a similar look at a fraction.
- You are buying newborn sizes ahead of the birth — French sizing runs small and follows the 'up to' convention, so several parents wish they had bought 3M or larger.
- You want bright, playful everyday clothes — parents note the muted colour options and treat Bonpoint as occasion wear rather than playwear.

Does Bonpoint run small?
Yes, by the accounts available. British and American parents consistently file it with Petit Bateau and Jacadi as French brands that come up a size small, and one mother's 5-month-old was already at the limit of a Bonpoint 1-year bodysuit. Buying the next size up is the standing advice, especially for babies.
How does Bonpoint's French sizing work?
The label is an 'up to' size: a 6M piece is cut to fit a child up to about 6 months, not a typical 6-month-old, and the sizes are built on centimetre heights (this site converts them). Parents who did not know this thought their babies were oversized; measure height and use the cm chart rather than the age.
Is Bonpoint worth the price?
Parents who buy it say yes for a handful of special pieces — the fabrics and finishing are praised, the clothes last through several children, and they resell well — but almost nobody recommends it for everyday basics at full price. Sale, outlet and pre-loved are how most Reddit and Mumsnet shoppers actually buy it.
What measurements do I need to size Bonpoint accurately?
Bonpoint publishes height, chest, waist, hip in its size chart. Height is the primary driver, and the chest/waist figures let you confirm body fit for a child between sizes.
Do Bonpoint boys’ and girls’ sizes fit the same?
From the bigger sizes up, Bonpoint publishes separate girls’ and boys’ charts, so the same number can differ by gender. The figures on this page use Bonpoint’s girls’/unisex chart.
How do Bonpoint’s shoe and sock sizes work?
Bonpoint carries kids’ shoes alongside its clothing. Kids’ shoe sizes go by foot length rather than age, and the same size number isn’t cut the same from brand to brand — so measure your child’s foot and check it against the chart. Bonpoint’s socks are sized by shoe size, not age — buy for your child’s current shoe size, and if they fall between two ranges choose the smaller so the sock stays up. See how every kids’ shoe brand runs and how wide each is cut on our kids’ shoe sizing guide.
