We find it important that you can find the right size right away. This reduces unnecessary returns and reorders. Measure your child and check our size instructions under (almost) all articles. We are working on having a detailed size guide for all our clothing and shoes. Most of our clothes are designed for the child to grow into them—we call this smart features. Read more about it here.
Geggamoja's clothing is generally true to size or slightly larger. Our ambition is to always have an updated size guide for all our garments so you can measure specific items for the right fit you desire.
In most cases regarding children's clothing, sizes are calculated based on centilong (cl), meaning the child's height in centimeters from head to toe. Our general advice is to choose the size closest to the child's current height. For example, if the child is 97 cm tall, choose size 98/104.
Fit:
The fit of children's clothing is, of course, very important. We want the garment to fit well and not restrict the child's movement and play, while also ensuring it doesn't become too small too quickly. Children's clothing should never hinder natural movement. The size should allow enough room for the child to jump, crawl, run, hang, bike, climb, and embark on all sorts of adventures. Imagine walking in pants that are so long they keep falling down or having to shake your hands out of the sleeves. So too big, too small, or too tight are out—we aim for that perfect fit.
Pants should stay up when the child runs quickly, end around the ankle, and be roomy enough for the child to sit comfortably. Geggamoja's soft pants have cuffs, allowing room to grow without the child tripping over the ends. Leggings and tights can also be slightly larger. Jeans, on the other hand, should be bought to fit now; otherwise, they risk becoming tight under outerwear or around the waist.
The measurements in the size guides available on each product on the website refer to the measurement of the garment, i.e., the measurement of the sleeve on this specific shirt. This allows you as a customer to determine how the garment should fit on the child. A simple way to see what size you need is to take a fitting garment from home and measure it, then choose the matching size from our collection.

When buying a cap, one option is to go by age. This usually works well and is fairly accurate. However, there are always exceptions where a child has a larger or smaller head. Therefore, we recommend measuring the circumference of the head before choosing a size. Measure across the forehead and around the widest point of the head.
When you can fit a couple of fingers comfortably under the hat's brim, it is the right size. If the hat is too small, it will ride up or leave marks on the forehead. A hat that is too large is also problematic because it may slip down over the eyes and interfere with playtime.
Geggamoja also offers premature hats, which are suitable for newborns or premature babies. Check the product page for specific measurements.
Thin hats made of bamboo or cotton are very stretchy. If your child's measurements fall between sizes, we recommend buying the smaller size.
Here we have a guide to our various hats where you can see which hats are suitable for which seasons.
When buying a sun hat, one option is to go by age. This generally works well and is fairly accurate. Again, there are always exceptions where a child may have a larger or smaller head. Therefore, we recommend measuring the head's circumference before selecting a size. Measure across the forehead and around the widest point of the head.
Geggamoja offers sun hats in cotton and bamboo, as well as special UV hats and caps.
The sun hats are elastic. If your child's measurements fall between sizes, we recommend buying the smaller size.
How to Measure Feet Correctly:
1. Place a piece of paper on the floor and press it against the wall so that it stays in place (tape can work well for this).
2. Have the child stand on the paper with both heels pressed against the wall.
3. Draw a line straight from the tip of the longest toe. Some find it easier to use a book held in line with the toe and then draw along that edge.
4. Always measure both feet, as they often differ slightly.
5. Now you have the measurement of the feet, based on the longest foot.
You can also buy proper foot measurers at shoe stores; the most important thing is always to measure both feet while the child stands upright. The best measurement is usually taken in the evening/afternoon when the feet swell slightly from running around and getting warm. Young children may need to "stretch out" their toes a bit to get a completely accurate measurement.
