sizing
we follow australian sizing standards which reflect age. for example, size 2 is designed to fit a two year old. if your child usually wears size 2 then size 2 should be the correct fit (however please see specific item details below for more information).
if your child is between sizes then upsize. for example, if they wear size 2 or size 3 (depending on the brand) then purchase size 3.
if your child is a bigger fit than most children their age, consider this and purchase accordingly. for example, if your child is two years old but usually wears size 4 then size 4 will be the correct fit.
rashguards
these are true to size. if your child is size 2 then size 2 will fit correctly. rashguards are better worn snug and will drag through the water if they are too big, making it difficult to swim. rashguards are snug around the wrists to prevent catching. rashguards have extra length in the body to ensure bellies don't pop out and see the sun.
boardies
these are true to size. if your child is size 2 then size 2 will fit correctly. boardies have plenty of room in the waist due to the elastic waistband and can easily be drawn-in to ensure the perfect fit (the drawstring actually works - hallelujah).
briefs
these have recently been redesigned and are now true to size. if your child is a size 2 then size 2 will fit correctly. sizes 1-2 have plenty of room for a full nappy and extra coverage to accomodate those delicious rolls. sizes 3-6 have growing room in the waist and thigh area to accommodate every shape and size. remember budgie briefs are brief so if you're after a roomier fit we recommend our boardies. our briefs have an elastic waistband and can easily be drawn-in to ensure the perfect fit (the drawstring actually works - hallelujah).
bikini bottoms
these have recently been redesigned and are now true to size. if your child is a size 2 then size 2 will fit correctly. sizes 1-2 have plenty of room for a full nappy and extra coverage to accomodate those delicious rolls. sizes 3-6 have growing room in the waist to accommodate every shape and size. our bikini bottoms have been designed with a thick elastic waistband so they won't fall down in the water (hallelujah).
sun suits
these are true to size. if your child is size 1 then size 1 will fit correctly. sun suits are snug around the wrists to prevent catching.
surf suits
these are true to size. if your child is size 2 then size 2 will fit correctly. surf suits are snug around the wrist to prevent catching.
one pieces
these are true to size. if your child is size 2 then size 2 will fit correctly.
sale bikini bottoms and briefs
these are a small fit and hence why they are on sale. we recommend you upsize.
size chart for swimwear

hats
your best bet here is to measure the circumference of your babe's head at the widest part. it's easiest done with a tape measure and bribes. then choose a hat closest to that measurement from the table below. our fabric is super stretchy and will grow approximately 4cm. for example, if your babe's head measures 48cm then purchase the 49cm size (6-12 months) which will allow for plenty of wear. As always, if in doubt or between measurements upsize as our hats have an adjustable head tie to ensure the perfect fit even if purchased with growing room.
