Boys' Trousers for Ages 2 to 8
MINOTI trousers for boys aged 2 to 8 cover nursery and the first years of primary school. At this age a pair gets knelt in, climbed in and washed often, so it helps to keep a few in rotation. Fabric and fit vary between styles, so check the product page before you choose. Trousers sit next to joggers in the Trousers & Joggers section, and for bigger sizes, see Teens.
Size labels give a height in centimetres rather than an age. 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. Measure your son standing against a wall without shoes and pick the size at or just above that height. If he falls between two sizes, go up one and turn up the hems at first to get another season out of the pair.

MINOTI's trousers for boys aged 2 to 8 are everyday pairs for nursery, school and play, in centimetre sizes, and a 4-year-old boy usually takes 110 cm.
Which size trousers will fit a 3-year-old starting nursery?
A 3-year-old usually takes 104 cm. Measure his height without shoes, and go up one to 110 cm if he is tall for his age, turning the hems up for the first few months.
How can I tell when my son's trousers are too short?
Once the hem sits above his ankle bone when he stands straight, move up a size. Each size step adds 6 cm of height, so after 116 cm the next size is 122 cm.
