What size is (and isn’t) like Children's Place at other brands?
Find your child’s Children's Place size on the left. Twins wear the same number the same way — your size carries straight over. Strangers use the same number but cut it shorter or longer, so don’t trust the label alone.

Sizes shown use Children's Place’s girls’/unisex chart where the brand splits by gender; boys’ sizes at the same number can run slightly taller.
In short
Where labels drift. The exceptions are the “strangers” above — e.g. at size 10, Columbia Kids, Converse Kids, Levi's Kids cut the same number differently. Check those before you trust the label.
Bottom line: for most sizes, a Children's Place number is a safe bet elsewhere — measure once, then double-check only the handful of “stranger” brands above.

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 Children's Place’s own published chart; the notes here come from public parent discussion.
The Children’s Place fit is inconsistent, and it splits by gender. Parents report the boys’ line runs large, so many size down, while the girls’ line runs small, so many size up. Across both, tops tend to run roomier than the bottoms, and the jeans in particular come up short and slim. The right move depends on which line you’re buying and your child’s build — not one blanket rule.
Based on anecdotal discussion from multiple publicly available online sources; your experience may differ.
Should you buy Children's Place?
Consider it if…
- You want the lowest prices — it’s the cheap end of the mainstream brands, with frequent deep sales.
- You need school-uniform staples — polos, chinos and plain bottoms, sold cheaply and in bulk.
- You want specialty sizes — girls’ Slim and Plus and boys’ Husky, up to size 20, unusually inclusive for a value brand.
Think twice if…
- You want premium fabric or durability — it’s built for fast-growing everyday wear, not as an heirloom line.
- You want understated pieces — a lot of the line leans logo, licensed and character graphics that turn over with trends.
- You’re placing a big order — it revises its lines and sales often, so confirm the current chart first.

Is The Children's Place the same company as Gymboree?
Yes — The Children’s Place owns Gymboree, so they’re sister brands with similar US sizing. The Children’s Place is the plainer, cheaper everyday line; Gymboree is the more colorful, themed one.
Does The Children’s Place carry slim, plus, or husky sizes?
Yes — girls get Slim and Plus, and boys get Husky, running up to size 20. That makes it one of the more size-inclusive value brands. The specialty grid above flags exactly what it offers.
What measurements do I need to size The Children's Place?
Height is the primary driver, with weight and waist as checks. Its boys’ and girls’ lines are charted separately, and chest is published on only part of the chart — so for most items, size by height plus waist.
Where can I buy The Children's Place?
On childrensplace.com, in its own stores, and on Amazon, so you can pick the marketplace you prefer.
Is The Children's Place good for school uniforms?
Yes — uniform basics (polos, chinos, plaid, plain bottoms) are a core of the line, sold cheaply and in bulk, which is a big reason parents reach for it at back-to-school.
Do Children's Place boys’ and girls’ sizes fit the same?
From the bigger sizes up, Children's Place publishes separate girls’ and boys’ charts, so the same number can differ by gender. The figures on this page use Children's Place’s girls’/unisex chart.
