Finding boys trousers that fit over pull ups

DS is 5 but very tall and broad for his age and wears pull ups trouble is I am finding it tricky to get trousers to fit!

I have got round this with jeans by finding the types with the sweatshirt material kind of waistband but am aware for the older boys range of clothes I am less likely to find this type.

Also school trousers, the clasp part digs in, and to get them to fit round his pull ups they are seriously long and need taking up a huge amount.

Has anyone else had trouble with this and found a solution??

Next do trousers for boys in a plus fit in quite a lot of their styles. Their combat style school trousers are quite a broad fit, anyhow and also do up with a popper, instead of a clasp. I'm ordering a load of those for DS2 for September!

not sure about sizes but i can give some measurment adjustments,

also um look for youth adaptive clothing you might find stuff there, but

measurment wise a pull up or nappy dry/clean will expand the seat by about a half inch layer and the crotch by about 1 inch

doubple that if wet soiled.
