Carter's, Inc. has been around since 1865, so the company knows a thing or two about kids' clothing. Over the last century and a half, Carter's has become one of the most trusted names in girls' clothes, leading the market with 10 products sold for every child in America.

The brand lives up to its reputation and the confidence of consumers with an attention to quality and innovation. On the smallest sizes of Carter's girls' clothing, you can find features such as Handi-Cuff sleeves that fold over into mittens to keep baby from scratching herself. Meanwhile, the Jiffon neck design used on their onesies and bodysuits makes it easy to pull the clothing over baby's head without hurting her ears.

Each season, Carter's designs several pieces that incorporate the same colors and patterns. This makes it easier for parents to mix-and-match separates or create color-coordinating outfits for multiple children. Carter's tops can be easily matched with several different Carter's skirts, pants, and shorts. That way, your child can wear her favorite shirt no matter the weather. Add sunglasses and sandals for a sunny day, or switch to pants and a sweater for colder temperatures.

Keep up With Growth Spurts

As your child grows, Carter's girls' clothes grow with her. You'll find infant clothing filled with colorful prints and cute characters, including giraffes and elephants, that decorate multiple pieces. Some of these characters are even pulled into accessories like blankets, stuffed animals, and teething toys. Baby girl sizes start with P (premie) and NB (newborn). Other sizes have labels according to months of age, but rather than using a range as some brands do, Carter's merely lists the "up to" number. Thus, 3M should fit children up to three months old.

Once your baby girl outgrows the 24M size, she graduates to toddler sizes, which range from 2T to 5T. You'll still find lots of bright colors and playful designs, though, to help you and your child celebrate childhood. Overlapping slightly with toddler sizes are girls' sizes 4 to 8. This wide range of sizes means that, depending on how fast your child grows, Carter's clothing can carry her well into elementary school. She'll love Carter's dresses, and you'll love the prices.
