Body Measurements and Size Charts: Infant to Age 6

I have been compiling measurement charts for years trying to make sure I can properly estimate sizing for gifts, my own pattern creations, and of course my family. These charts estimate the measurements, and might lean towards the sturdier child since both my kids are in the 90 percentiles for height and weight.  For the PDF file, follow this link.
 I wish I could give credit where credit is due, but the measurements were compiled from a wide variety of sources and personal experience. Some numbers are averaged, or I selected from multiple options that which best fit my own kids. Certainly the Simplicity Creative Group, Ottobre Design, and assorted books and websites. As I recall them I will try to give them credit!

    Thanks so much for compiling this chart and sharing it. It is very helpful! I tried to measure my kids, age 5 and 2, and it was so difficult to get accurate measurements. This will for sure be much easier!

    Thank you from my frustrated little heart. I was considering wandering the neighbourhood asking to measure neighbours children. Not a good look. Thank you again.

    For those of you still coming across this chart as I just did - but need larger sizes. I just found this pdf about standard sizing for knitting & crochet:

    I'm sewing "bloomers"--little 'Underpants' with elastic around the upper thighs. Is there a chart for average circumference of thighs just where thigh joins torso ?
