I have an almost 8-year old that needs a winter jacket but am afraid if I get the small 7/8 it will barely fit, but the med 10/12 seems like it will be way too big. Thoughts and help please??!! Thx!

The specs for the jacket are listed under "sizing" take a look at them, grab a tape measure and measure the kid... then you will know. Nothing worse than a kid being made to wear a jacket way to big. Get one that fits properly and if he outgrows it sell it on Ebay and get another one... plus you're stimulating the economy:)

I know it's personal preference, but I would go with the med 10/12 for two reasons. One, I like to go a little bigger with an overcoat so I can layer if I need to and, two, an 8 year old is still growing quickly and with the larger size you might be able to get two winters out of it. Hope this helps!
