Look ahead one season
Many families sell outerwear and boots when their children grow out of them, often near the end of a season. That can be a good moment to buy the next size.
Match purchases to the weather
Rainwear, snowsuits, sun hats and swimwear all have short windows of use. Check the size against your child's expected growth before the season begins.
Review the wardrobe twice a year
A quick check in spring and autumn shows what fits, what is missing and what can be passed on.
