Author: I need to know because I’m supposed to get something from a wishlist for a kid this Christmas, and I got size 5T outfit, assuming it’s the same as boys size 7/8. Is it the same? Or am I wrong?
The size usually goes with age. So a 5 year old will wear a 5t. Since kids are different I would go up a size to a 6. Either it will fit now or he’ll grow into it. Either way you can’t go wrong with a 6.

My son is 5 and he wears a 5 or a 5T,both are basically the same…both my kids wear the size of the age they are…a 7/8 is a bit bigger than a 5T

My son is 5 and he wears a size 6 in clothing. It really all depends on the size of the child. My son is taller than most kids and size 5 is too short for him. It all depends on their weight and height. If you are unsure got to a place that gives gift receipts and put it in with the outfit, that way if it doesn’t fit it can be exchanged. I know Meijers and Target both do this, if you one have in your area.

My children have always worn one size bigger than their age. I would get a size 6 for a 5 year old. It allows for some shrinkage too.

My son will be turning 3 soon and because I don’t want him growing out of his clothes too soon we will buy him a size 4t instead.

Why would you assume that 5T is as sames as 7/8?.If the kid is an average 5 year old ,5 t is the right size.If larger 5 year old,than 6 or 7.

A 5t outfit is smaller then a 7/8. My five year old wares a 6 slim and my 8 year old wares a 7.

There not the same size

Typically you’ll be safe going up a size. Also, try a size 4 regular in the little boys rather than toddlers. This will either be around the right size or as previously stated at least he’ll be able to grow into it.
