Boys' Shorts Sets, Ages 2 to 8
A boys' shorts set for ages 2 to 8 pairs a top with shorts, so one buy gives him a finished outfit for nursery, the paddling pool or a day at the seaside. Shorts leave his knees free for scooters, climbing frames and sandpits. The pieces also work apart: the T-shirt under a sweatshirt, the shorts with a plain T-shirt. For older sizes, see the Teens short sets.
Sizes go by height, not age alone. A toddler boy shorts set in the smallest size suits a 2-year-old at 98 cm. A boys' shorts set for age 3 is usually 104 cm, and a boys' shorts set for age 4 is usually 110 cm. If he sits between two heights, choose the bigger size so the set lasts the whole summer. Wash the top and shorts together so the colours fade at the same rate, and turn a printed T-shirt inside out.

Your questions answered
MINOTI makes matching shorts and T-shirt sets for boys aged 2 to 8, including toddler boys' shorts and T-shirt sets, in height-based sizes such as 104 cm for a 3-year-old and 116 cm for a 5-year-old.
What size boys' shorts set fits a boy of age 5?
Most 5-year-olds take 116 cm. Measure him against a wall without shoes, and if he is tall for his age, go up one to 122 cm so the shorts set still fits at the end of the summer.
Is a toddler boy's shorts set easier than dungarees for potty training?
It usually is. Shorts come down in one move, which helps a 2- or 3-year-old who needs the loo in a hurry, while dungarees have straps to undo first. Pack one spare set in his nursery bag for accidents.
