Are these elastic waist pants? How about sweat pants and then cut them off to shorts?

Yeah. I'm right there with you, although not exactly. None of my kids fit well in any of their pants. With three long, lean kids, my problem is that by the time they have enough belly and booty to actually hold up the pants in a particular size, they look like they're expecting a flood.

My current solution with DS, for instance, is to use the larger size pants (DS needs a 3T for the length, but they fall down around his ankles, and he's in cloth diapers too so you would think the diaper would hold it up). Then I pin the pants to his undershirt at the sides. I'm in big trouble when undershirt-season passes. Maybe pin to the diaper? Or pin to the shirt?
With the girls, I've mostly given up and gone to dresses.
What kind of diaper does he wear?

I've resigned myself to the fact that DS' pants will *NEVER* fit. Cause' they don't. Either they're too long, or they're too short. There is never a time (or at least, not for more than like, a day), when they actualy fit.
That said, DS is in that in-between point between 24 month/2T & 3T right now too. his waist is *almost* big enough for 3Ts, but they're definetly *way* too long still (though the shorts he had on today fit really well, IMO). Honestly, a lot of boys' shorts these days are just really long and are designed to come down to the knee or even mid calf... at least, thats been my experience

I have yet to find adjustable waist pants in any size smaller than a 4T. My son is very tall (needs 3T for length), but thin (he could get by with 18 months for his waist), so adjustable waist paints would be so fabulous, but I just can't find them in the smaller size.

These were my solution this past winter, but now that potty training is in full swing, they are just too hard to get up and down.
I am so glad shorts season is here, I just buy them to fit his waist and they are a bit shorter than they are meant to be. Works great for now!

(Target maternity pants are like this too.) Carters, Children's Place, Gap, Gymbo, and even Miejers carry these kind. Maybe they would even work for a chubby short kid. |
