WTD your kids measurements!
locoboy - 23/2/12 at 08:03 PM

Guys,
I am making a sit on toy for kids (boys predominantly) and I have no idea how big kids of different ages are!

It will be used from the ages of 3-10 and I need to know some basic measurements so that I know a starting size and how much adjustment to build into it.

Hanging round at the local school/child minders may spark some unwanted attention so I thought I would ask for your help!

The information I would need form you is

Sex
Age
Floor to Knee (Standing)
Floor to hip (standing)
Floor to shoulder with arm horizontal out front (SITTING)
Centre of hand to shoulder with arm out front

Thanks in advance.

Seriously,
I have 2 grocery burners, age 7 and 10, will measure them when I get home on Saturday.

male, 9 months, 78cm tall. I appreciate this isn't the measurement you want but its all i have and the misses would kill me if i went to wake him up now and measure him. I'd be interested in your answers as the little one will be getting a jeep of his own soon.

You can get books of anthropometric data in both adults and kids. covers every single dimension in various possitions. try your library they may have a copy.
