Converting US Kids' Clothing Sizes to Australian

Australian kids' sizing **differs significantly** from US. **AU sizes ≈ child's age in years** (but based on height/cm). US sizes are **age-based but run larger**.

Critical Rules

1. ALWAYS USE HEIGHT (CM). AU size = height in cm / 6 (roughly). Check brand size chart.
2. US runs 1–2 sizes LARGER. US 8 ≈ AU 10.
3. No "T" in AU. Toddler sizes just 1,2,3,4.
4. No 6X in AU. Goes 6 → 8.
5. Brands vary: Target (AU) ≠ Kmart (AU) ≠ Cotton On ≠ US brands sold in AU (Gap, H&M, Zara run true to their own charts).

Shoes: Different System

• **AU/UK sizing** (e.g., AU 10 = UK 10 = US 11 child / EU 28).
• Measure foot in mm; use **Mondopoint** or brand chart.
