Kids Clothing Size Converter for UAE Shopping
Find a published reference size by age, height or body measurements. The tool uses one current brand chart for consistency; the target product’s own size guide should always take priority.
Last reviewed: 26 July 2026
Height Is Usually More Useful Than Age Alone
A height-based label such as 116 corresponds to 111–116 cm in the published reference used here. Children of the same age can have different proportions, so compare height and body measurements and then check the product-specific chart.

Reference only. Brand, cut and product category can affect fit.
Measure Again Before Important Purchases
Children can change size quickly and growth rates differ widely. For seasonal clothing, schoolwear or expensive items, remeasure height and key body measurements instead of relying on the size bought last time.
Find a Size From Actual Measurements
Height is required. Chest, waist and hip are optional but improve the recommendation when provided.

adidas UAE
Reference Used HereThe size finder and charts use adidas UAE’s current published kids clothing measurements as one consistent reference across babies, children and youth.
H&M UAE
Check Size GuideH&M sells kids and teen clothing in the UAE and provides product-specific size guidance. Use the size guide linked from the item you are buying rather than assuming all age labels match another brand.
Zara Kids
Item-SpecificZara provides a “Find your size” option on product pages. Fit should be checked at item level instead of using a blanket “runs small” or “runs large” rule.
Mumzworld
Multi-BrandMumzworld publishes a general sizing guideline, but it sells many brands. The specific product or brand chart should take priority whenever one is available.
Namshi UAE
Multi-BrandNamshi carries a large number of kids clothing brands. Size labels can differ between brands, so confirm the item-specific size information before ordering.
School Uniforms
Supplier-SpecificSchool uniforms often use supplier-specific measurements and cuts. Follow the school's approved uniform chart rather than a general retail kids size conversion.
How to Measure Your Child
Use direct body measurements for a more reliable starting point
Measure Height
Have your child stand straight against a wall, heels together, no shoes. Mark the top of their head and measure from floor to mark. Remeasure before important purchases because growth rates vary.
Chest Measurement
Wrap the tape around the fullest part of the chest, under the armpits. Keep the tape horizontal and snug but not tight. For tops and jackets, this is the key measurement.
Waist Measurement
Measure around the narrowest part of the waist, typically where the body bends side to side. For trousers and skirts, compare this measurement with the specific product size chart.
Hip Measurement
Measure around the fullest part of the hips. Important for trousers, shorts, and fitted dresses. For fitted bottoms, compare both waist and hip and use the product-specific guidance when the measurements fall in different size bands.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. UAE retailers sell many international and local brands, so you will see height-based numeric labels, age labels and brand-specific sizing. This tool uses one published measurement chart as a consistent reference rather than claiming that its numbers are an official UAE standard.
Usually, yes. Children of the same age can differ significantly in height and body proportions. Start with height, then compare chest, waist and hip when the garment is fitted or when the child falls between reference sizes.
Not reliably across all brands. US and UK children's age or numeric labels are not standardized enough to guarantee one universal conversion. Use the original brand's size chart or compare the child's actual height and body measurements with the target brand.
The measurement finder on this page uses the larger required reference band as a conservative starting point. For fitted garments, trousers or structured clothing, the most restrictive body measurement may matter more than age or height alone.
The published reference used on this page provides different chest, waist, hip and inseam measurements for older boys and girls. The numeric height label can still be similar, but the body-measurement guidance differs.
Not necessarily. Schools and approved uniform suppliers often use their own garment measurements and fit rules. Always follow the school's supplier chart for uniforms.
