Here is a simple, printable companion to our baby and toddler shoe size guide by age. Keep it beside the paper and ruler when you measure, or take a printed copy to someone who is helping choose a gift. Use the current Little Love Bug sizing chart as your final reference before ordering.
Our top sellers, ready to ship
This page is for printing and making notes; the main age guide has the fuller fit explanation. Age is only a starting point, not a size promise. Measure the child who will wear the shoes, even if you bought the same size for a sibling at the same age.
Before you print
Open your browser's Print command and choose a scale that keeps the table columns together. You can also save it as a PDF from that print dialog. The numbers are written measurements, so you do not need to print this page at an exact physical scale. Do not place a foot on the table and use it as a tracing template.
Approximate age reference
These age ranges come from our existing size guide. They are approximate, and the Little Love Bug size labels below are not a substitute for measuring. Our chart begins at 2C; for sizes beyond the age guide, choose by measurement.

|---|---|
| 3–6 months | 2C |
| 6–9 months | 3C |
| 9–12 months | 4C |
| 12–18 months | 5C |
| 18–24 months | 6C |
| 2 years | 7C |
| 2–3 years | 8C |

Little Love Bug measurements
The figures below are copied from our sizing page, in centimetres. Choose the column for the sole named on the product page. Play Perfect has different measurements; do not mix its length column with the All Other Soles column. N/A means the source chart does not list that measurement.

Measure, add, then match
- Have your child stand flat-footed on paper. Measure both feet from the heel to the longest toe.
- Write down the longer foot measurement. Add 0.5 cm for sandals and slip-ons, or 0.9 cm for sneakers and boots.
- Match that total to the length in the correct sole column. These chart lengths are not a by-age measurement of your child's bare foot.
- Check the current product page and sizing chart before choosing the final size. Do not add a second allowance on top of the chart match.
Child's name: ____________________ Date measured: ____________________
Longer foot: __________ cm Allowance: __________ cm Total: __________ cm
Style and sole: ____________________ Size to check: ____________________
A quick try-on check
Try the pair with the socks your child normally wears. Open the closure fully, settle the heel at the back and fasten it comfortably. Toes should not press against the front, and the heel should not keep slipping out. Buying a much larger pair to grow into can make the fit feel loose.
Keep this copy for your notes, but remeasure when shoes become harder to put on or the fit changes. An old measurement is a useful record, not a reason to order the same size again.
