Height & Weight Averages for Children from Birth to 10 Years

Height & Weight Averages for Children

If you are anything like me, you actually hate charts showing what the average heights and weights are for children! Many parents worry when their child doesn't fit into the slot for their age. The fact of the matter is that all children are different and average is just that -- an average. Your child may be higher or lower than the numbers shown here and still be perfectly healthy! If you have any concerns, please discuss them with your physician.

These charts are metric (kilograms and centimeters).
If you prefer to think in imperial measurements:
1 centimetre = 0.3937 inches
1 kilogram = 2.2046 pounds
So, if you wish to know the imperial weight for a newborn boy, it is 3.3 kg X .2.2046 = 7.27 pounds.
