Where are all the children's clothes? Don't want to dress my 2 year old like a tiny man.

I have a two year old DS and am struggling to find clothes for his age. I loved H&M baby clothes but they only go up to 18-24 months and the next range is for 1 1/2 years - 10 years. These clothes are a lot more "grown up" and trendy and have lost all the cute animal designs and generally young child feel of the infant range.
I don't want to dress my toddler like he's a little man - he's a child for goodness' sake - and will grow up soon enough.
Why don't shops have a young boys' range? Next boys' clothes are all really trendy and fashionable. How can you fit little chubby thighs in skinny jeans or how would they even be comfy?
I just want simple and practical with some added cute touches, that aren't too pricey.
Does anywhere have the clothes I'm looking for?

I like Vertbaudet, Jojo, Gap, Green Baby, Boots and the supermarkets have some nice things. TK Maxx can yield treasure if you are prepared to look for it. I keep an eye out for sales on websites like Brand Alley, Secret Sales, Achica etc as they sometimes have kids stuff too.

Larger morrisons do kids clothes. Really cute but stylish little t shirts and jumpers with animals on in bright colours and roomy chino style trousers. My 3 year old nephew loves the cat jumper i bought him from there, he wants to wear it everyday!

Jojo - always a discount code around
Mini Mode @ Boots - use your points or wait for 3for2 offer
White Company - always a discount code around
Monsoon - baby boy is upto age 3
Debenhams - they have some nice plain staples
Zara - baby boy is upto age 3 and worth a rake through the trendy to find nice staples

I also love brands like Mayoral and Sarah Louise for special occasions.

Gap is worth a look.
