Shopping for toddler clothes can be tricky—especially when you’re staring at a sizing tag that says “2T” and wondering if it’ll last more than one juice spill. We get it. That’s why we created this easy guide to help you understand toddler shirt sizes, how they typically fit, and what to keep in mind as your little one grows.
Whether you’re shopping for cute animal tees or dinosaur shirts from shop.googaia.com, getting the right size means more comfort and fewer returns.
What Does “T” in Toddler Sizes Mean?
The “T” stands for “Toddler,” and it usually starts at 2T (age 2) and goes up to 5T (age 5). These sizes are based on average age ranges, but no two toddlers are the same—so it’s always good to check measurements!
Toddler Shirt Size Chart
Here’s a simple chart to help you match your toddler’s age, weight, and height to the right shirt size:
| Size | Age Range | Height (in) | Weight (lbs) |
| 2T | 1.5 – 2 years | 33 – 35 | 24 – 28 |
| 3T | 2 – 3 years | 36 – 38 | 28 – 32 |
| 4T | 3 – 4 years | 39 – 41 | 33 – 36 |
| 5T | 4 – 5 years | 42 – 44 | 37 – 42 |
Pro Tip: If your toddler is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a comfier fit and a little growing room.

Tips for Choosing the Right Toddler Shirt Size
1. Know your toddler’s current height and weight.
Measure them standing up, if they’ll stay still long enough!
2. Think about seasonality.
Layering for fall or winter? Size up for room underneath.
3. Check the fabric type.
Cotton blends offer a bit more stretch; pure cotton may shrink slightly in the wash.
4. Account for growth spurts.
Toddlers grow FAST. When in doubt, go bigger.
