Shorts sized for 9–12 month boys —cruising season, warm-weather season, or both at once. Soft covered elastic over the nappy, seats cut with real nappy room, and cotton that keeps floor-level explorers cool.
Size 74–80 cm is the baseline; the deciding fit points are waist and seat, not length. The elastic must stretch over a full nappy without leaving marks —the red-line test after an hour’s wear is the honest answer. Seats need genuine room: shorts that compress a nappy leak, simple as that. For floor-crawling boys, note the trade-off —shorts keep babies cool but leave knees bare, so match to yourflooring; smooth tiles are fine, rough surfaces call for knee-length bottoms. Choose breathable cotton with flat inner seams, pair with snap-shoulder tees for the full easy-change outfit, and keep 4–5 in rotation for warm months. Wash gentle, skip softeners, and size up the moment the waistband needs persuading.
What size shorts fit a 9–12 month boy?
Typically 74–80 cm —but judge by waist comfort over the nappy and seat room, not length.
Are shorts okay for crawling babies?
On smooth floors, yes. Rough surfaces scrape bare crawling knees —use knee-length bottoms there instead.
How do I know the waistband fits right?
No red line on the skin after an hour’s wear, and easy stretch over a full nappy. Fail either test, size up.
How many shorts does a baby need in summer?
4–5 in rotation, paired with tees —expect a change most days at this stage.
Our infant bottoms are cut on nappy-inclusive seat patterns —measured over the nappy, because that’s how they’re worn.
