When the clothes are for someone else's kid, the safest size is not the one for their age. It is the one that will still fit a few months from now, for most kids that age. Buy a little big. A gift that is roomy gets worn later. A gift that is too small never gets worn.
This is the size that fits 3 kids in 4 of that age for the next four months, long enough to get through a season.
