I have a 3, nearly 4 year old DS who is a big lad and I am finding it very hard to find trousers to fit him. He has always been big, but he has developed a bit of a tummy in the last couple of months. (I am hoping he is about to shoot up but I am now watching his diet and portion sizes so it isn't a permanent problem). He is already wearing 4 to 5 year old stuff but it is too small on the waist and sometimes on the thighs - his Dad says he is a future prop forward for England, hence the legs!!
My problem is that if I give in and buy 5 to 6 year old stuff it will be way too long for his legs as he is tall but with a long body and only average legs. It is very bulky to take them up and my sewing isn't that good either.
Does anybody know of a brand that have decent elasticated waists that I could try? We have 3 pairs of Tesco cheapy jeans that are great but he can't wear those all the time! M&S seem to be getting smaller and even my tall skinny 7 year old is finding their waist bands a bit tight. Mothercare are the same. George is OK sometimes but they seem to have nothing but jeans and shorts at the moment and their stuff seems to vary a lot.
Is it worth paying for more expensive brands - do they come up any bigger? Please help as it isn't the weather for shorts at the moment!!
