Need Reco for Brand of Pants for 11 Month Old
Hi mommas,
My 11 month old son is long & lean. I've been having the hardest time finding pants that are long enough & will also stay up! So far I've had to keep him in pants that I can easily hem the waist in but it seems to be getting harder to find stuff now that he's nearly a year old. If you have a favorite brand of pants or shorts for a long/lean little one, please share :)
Thanks!

Old Navy toddler pants have the adjustable waist band. My son is very thin too and those have been consistently good. If you shop the sales they aren't too expensive.

Hi, I had the same problem try the Childrens Place and Walmart and Target their pants have the adjustable waist tab. My son is 7 and he is 4ft7in so I have to buy big sizes to get the right lenght.
Good Luck

I like to buy my clothes from the Children's Place because on a lot of their waistbands, they have a system to cinch things in tighter with buttons and elastic. When your child grows, you can gradually let out the waist band. Hope this helps!

We have a bunch of the Carter's pants, they are really long, and the waist is smaller. They actually still ride really low when my son wears disposables, luckily he usually wears cloth diapers, and those help them stay up better. My son is really thin (10th percentile or less on the weight chart, at least 75% on height). It is hard to find long and lean pants, but those seem to work pretty well for us.

I like Childrens Place or Old Navy pants with the adjustable waist for both my kids, especially my son who is long and lean.

My girls were both lean too. I tried to buy mostly pants with the adjustable waist inside. OshKosh, some Target pants, and Children's Place have them. Gymboree does too, but only in sizes larger than 12 months, I think.
And...we have quite a few pants with safety pins in the back that I never got around to putting in extra elastic!

My daughter is taller than thick and all her jean pants have adjustable elastic inside the waist. Levis are made with it as well as nearly every other jean pant. I find them more often than not.

Old Navy has great pants. They are made with adjustible waist bands so you can buy a bigger size to fit in length then just tighten the waist. Great quility also.

Walmart has the longest pant sizes that I have run into. I have noticed that I have to hem or just fold his pants as soon as I buy them. By the time the length fits (if I just fold and not hem) the waist barely fits. Good luck.
