Boys' Cargo Shorts, Ages 2 to 8
Boys' cargo shorts for ages 2 to 8 have pockets on the side of the leg, where small hands can reach them easily. They suit park days, holidays and garden play, when there is always a pebble or toy car to carry home. This range is for younger boys, from the smallest sizes up to age 8. For babies, see Baby Cargo Shorts, and for age 9 and over, see Teens.
Sizing goes by height in centimetres. A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm, a 5-year-old usually takes 116 cm and a 7-year-old usually takes 128 cm. If he is between sizes, go up one so the shorts last the whole summer. On cooler days, wear them with a long-sleeved top or a hoodie, then switch to a T-shirt and sandals when it warms up. Fabrics vary by style, so check the care label on each pair before washing.

What size cargo shorts should I buy for a 4-year-old?
Most 4-year-olds take 110 cm. If he is tall for his age or nearly 5, go up one to 116 cm so there is room to grow into over the summer.
What can my son wear with cargo shorts when it's cooler?
A long-sleeved top or a hoodie is the easiest pairing. On a 15°C spring morning, layer a hoodie over a T-shirt that can come off by lunchtime, and choose socks and trainers over sandals for the park.
