How do Land's End kid sizes run?

[nohomama]

I'm in the market for a Land's End coat for Lola, probably the Squall or the Squall Sport, and am wondering how the sizes run. I scored a very gently used LE down bunting at my local consignment store but haven't been able to find a coat. Here in MA were still having a fair number of days that are too warm for the bunting but too cold for just a sweater. Right now Lola's height & weight are right in the middle of the specs for the 18M size but I wan't whatever I purchase to last through the cool days of Spring which can be well into May around here. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks,

I found the sizes to run a little big. If you are right in the middle of the specs for the 18m size, that is the size I would buy. If you buy bigger, the sleeves will be very long and the coat's oversizeness will be hard to fit in the car seat.

That's what I wanted to know.

The jackets seem to run a bit big, so I'd buy the 18 mo size. The clothes, however, seem to run small. Kristan

Anything I have bought from LE runs a bit big. Hope that helps.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm ordering a 18M LE Squall Parka for Lola today.
