Crotch and thighs should stay comfortable during high steps.
Change into dry clothes after swimming in swim shorts.
Bear in mindStretch or a roomy crotch helps with high steps and squatting.
Play and everyday wear

What to look for
Question
In brief
Why
Which size?
In briefMeasurements before age alone
WhyCompare hips and waist with the children's chart. Excess growing room can let shorts slide down while running.
Which hem?
In briefTry real movements
WhyLet your child squat and step up. The hem should not dig into the thigh or rub behind the knee.
Which pockets?
In briefEasy to reach
WhyA secure closure keeps small finds together. Hard or heavy objects may knock against the legs while running.
Common questions
How much growing room is sensible?
The shorts should fit now and allow movement. Use current measurements and an adjustable waist; buying several sizes too large can get in the way during play and climbing.
Can my child walk in denim shorts?
A comfortable cut can work on short, dry walks. For more active or wet trips, light purpose-designed technical fabric may feel better. Check crotch and waist during the intended movements.
Are sports shorts automatically swim shorts?
For swimming choose shorts explicitly intended for water. Fabric, lining and pockets may differ. Pack dry clothes for afterwards and follow care guidance for salt or chlorinated water.
Do longer shorts protect the whole leg?
They cover only the skin beneath the fabric. For tall grass, cool weather or more coverage, long trousers may be more suitable. Plan protection for exposed skin according to weather and surroundings.
