My son will be 5 yrs. old next month and he is SO SMALL in the waist -- he's really tiny ALL OVER. I'm sure other moms have kids about this age with this same problem, right? He weighs "about" 32 lbs. and is 42 1/2 in. tall & has a 20 in. waist. I have the hardest time finding PANTS to fit him. Shirts and shorts are no problem. But because he's so tiny in the waist clothes for his age just don't fit him. I really wish they'd make pants 5T for the length but for a 4T waist ... that would be perfect!
He usually wears Levi's adjustable waistband (4T). He can still wear them in the waist but they are TOO SHORT now that he's getting taller.
My mom bought him a pair of jeans on e-bay, size 5T SLIM (she's says this is what she used to have to buy for me too at his age). They fit him great. But I'm not sure WHERE TO SHOP to find pants like these here.
Please - for all you moms of small waisted kids, if you've found "the place" to shop, please pass on your expertise to me. THANKS!! :)
Thanks to all of you so much for your helpful suggestions & tips in finding SLIM PANTS for my son. I have written down all the places & brands that you've had the best of luck with and will plan to go shopping at these stores very soon, hopefully this week. I've also told my mom where she may be able to find these brands as well. (she lives in MS and shops online for the kids for b-days & holidays and just mails them to me)
I will try to give another update later & let you know how it turns out. Thanks again!! :)
My son is long and skinny, so we always need a bigger size for length too. Osh Kosh at Legends doesn't have 5T, but they do have 5 slim with the adjustable waist. We've been really happy with them and they're 2 for $25.
Hi M.,
My son is the same way.
He is going to be 7 in December and weighs 40 pounds.
I bought him the Faded Glory brand jeans from Wal-mart. I bought him size 5 R (regular) they fit him great and have the adjustable waist also.
Hope this helps you, W.
Hi M.,
I bought 5 slim Levis for my son at JCPENNEY's. I hope this helps. I understand your dilema completely. Good Luck!
Have you tried thefort.com they have Wrangler jeans that are for a 5slim. We buy my nephew his jeans from there. Or if you can find another place in KC (like Tractor Supply or a place like that who carries Wranglers). Good luck!
ok..Hoping this may help!
My daughter is the same way...tiny waist and no butt! We have had the best luck at Target. They sell jeans under their own brand, cant remember the name, that has the adjustable waist. They are very inexpensive too! They hold up very well through the laundry. I am assumming that the same would be in the boys dept too.
my daughter is almost 5 and weighs around 34 pounds. We get 5 slims from JCPenney. IF they have clothes in slims for girls, surely they'd have slims for boys right?
Good luck!

Hi M.,
I'm in the same boat. I have a 4yr. old son that could probably fit into a 2t if it wasn't for the length. I found Levis's slim jeans that fit the best and you can find them at Macy's, Kohl's and Toy's R Us. I also found jeans with the wiastband that has buttons you can tighten at Old Navy.
Happy Shopping!
M.,
I have a six year old that has the same problem. I have had really good luck with Old Navy, OshKosh, and Gap Kids. These brands all have the ajustable waistband in side. There is an OshKosh outlet out in the Ledgends shopping center out near Nebraska Furniture Mart.I have found them to be the best bargain. I think I paid 2 pair for $25.00 the last time I was out there about a month ago. I hope this helps.
I have the exact same problem with both of my boys.My girl is the opposite.Anyway anymore slim and adjustable waist are easier to find.My oldest is ten and it used it be impossible.He needs a size nine in the length and about a six in the waist.The only place I can find a nine slim is Macy's.So that's one place to try.Another place I have always been able to find slims is Toy's R,Us thier brand.Another thing I have been buying is the Levi's adjustable waist also.I get those at Target and Walmart.Old Navy also carries slim.Also it would be easier to find a five than a 5T they don't make many of those and there usually isn't a difference.You might also try Sears I think I have found some there over the years.They are actually easier to find in the size 5 then in the toddler sizes.My other boy is two and I have alot harder time finding jeans for him.He needs a 12 month waist.So I have to buy 18 months which are still too big so they have to be adjustable waist.Hope this helps,God Bless!
My sons are the same way, I buy most of their jeans at JC Penny. You might also try Old Navy they carry slims as well.
Good Luck....J.
At Macy's they have pants that you can cinch the waist.
J C Penny's Arizona Jeans have a button on the inside to adjust the waist size. Try that.
The jeans cost more but you can find slims anywhere. You may even get lucky and find slims at places like Recycle Kid, Once Upon a Child, etc. Try even the Salvation Army and Goodwill. I found they carry slim clothes a lot.
ok, everyone has a place!! we get them at childrens place and the one at the great mall is the outlet thy are adjustable waist and they are 2 pair for 20.00 at the outlet store.
