Boys' Cardigans for Ages 2 to 8
A boys' cardigan for ages 2 to 8 is the layer you reach for when a jumper is too much and a T-shirt is not enough. It opens at the front, so it goes on over a shirt without a struggle and comes off quickly in a warm classroom or car. Wear one over a polo shirt for nursery or school, or with a collared shirt for family occasions and weekend visits.
Choose by your son's height rather than his birthday. In the smallest sizes, a toddler boy cardigan goes easily over a long-sleeved top on chilly mornings. A boys' cardigan for age 3 is usually 104 cm, and a boys' cardigan for age 4 is usually 110 cm. Check the care label before washing and dry knitwear flat so it keeps its shape. For babies, see Baby Boys' Cardigans, and from age 9, see Teens.

Your questions answered
MINOTI's boys' cardigans for ages 2 to 8 are front-opening knitted layers in centimetre sizes, and a 6-year-old boy usually takes a 122 cm cardigan.
What size boys' cardigan should I buy for age 5?
Most 5-year-olds take 116 cm. Measure his height without shoes and compare it with the size on the product page, and go up one if he is tall for his age or wears a thick top underneath.
Is a cardigan or a jumper better for a boy starting nursery?
A cardigan is usually easier, because it opens at the front and he can take it off himself in a warm room. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm, so a cardigan in that size goes over a T-shirt or polo shirt.
