Learn how to measure your child and choose the right size for Regnjakke Charlie, with room to layer for daycare without drowning in excess fabric.
Quick answer
Measure your child's chest and height, then choose the size that covers both with about a finger's width of ease at the chest. If your child is between sizes and wears a sweater under rainwear at daycare, size up once.
Why a rain jacket needs different ease than a sweater
A rain jacket sits over other clothes, so it needs more room than an indoor layer. Too little room restricts movement and pulls at the shoulders; too much lets water pool in folds and makes the jacket feel heavy. Aim for enough space to fit a mid-layer without the fabric ballooning.
Regnjakke Charlie has an adjustable, detachable hood and elastic at the cuffs and hood opening. Those details help seal out rain, but they do not replace correct sizing at the chest and shoulders.
When to size up and when not to
Size up if your child is at the top of a size range, wears a thick sweater under rainwear, or needs the jacket to last through a growth spurt. Do not size up more than one step: an oversized rain jacket can ride up, let rain in at the waist, and make it harder for a child to move freely at daycare.
How to size Regnjakke Charlie step by step
- Measure height and chest: Use a soft tape measure. Have your child stand straight and measure height from floor to top of head, then chest at the fullest point. Write both numbers down. Measure over a light indoor layer, not a thick sweater.
- Check the size chart against both numbers: Compare your child's height and chest to the size chart. Choose the size where both measurements fall inside the range, not just one. If height and chest point to different sizes, follow the chest measurement for a rain jacket.
- Add layering room at the chest: You should be able to slip two fingers under the tape at the chest when the jacket is on over a sweater. If you cannot, go up one size. Do not add more than one size of ease; excess fabric can trap water and restrict movement.
- Test arm length and shoulder fit: With arms raised, the cuffs should stay near the wrist and the shoulders should not pull. If the cuffs slide past the knuckles, the sleeves are too long. Elastic cuffs should sit at the wrist, not over the hand.
- Try the hood and movement check: Adjust the hood and have your child turn their head and bend forward. The hood should stay in place without covering the eyes, and the jacket should not ride up at the back. A detachable hood can be removed for days when it is not needed, but the fit should still work with it on.
Product facts

Regnjakke Charlie - rose ballet - Regnjakke Charlie - rose ballet: Detachable and adjustable hood plus side-seam pockets. An adjustable hood can be fine-tuned for fit, while side pockets add bulk at the hips, so check that the jacket does not pull across the body.
