I%26#039;m not sure the size to order? Should it be 0?|||People please keep in mind that Judo Gis are different than Karate or other Martial Arts Gis. They are thicker, and based pretty much entirely on height for kids.
Buy a Size 0, and knowing that you will probably have to buy a new one in a year or two depending on age and growth of your child..
Century Gis are not that great, and from I noticed on their website, their cheapest Gi is 60 bucks and doesn%26#039;t come in sizes below a 3. White is pretty a much standard at any Judo school. (Blue ones are usually for comps only, and generally only needed in Senior competetion) DO NOT BUY ANY OTHER COLOR GI FOR JUDO.

Honestly Hatashita has some of the best prices in my opinion for the web. For a kid, a Fuji single weave would be all you need, especially because they are growing and they are more than sturdy enough for kids.
I prefer Swain, Fuji, Mizuno (more expensive) Adidas makes an OK Gi, hell for kids the brand name doesn%26#039;t matter so much because you will be buying a Gi every two years or so.
Above is a Fuji single weave with sizing chart.
I would definately go with size 0, size one would leave the sleeves almost past your kids hands and while you can always leave room for growth, you don%26#039;t want something that is less functional just to give some room to grow.
Size 0, should last a year or two, when it gets too short, then go up.
Just my experience.|||Speaking purely on Century Martial Arts brand experience, my 8 yr old, who is probably a 6-7 yr old size honestly wears a size 0 and it fits him quite well. By the information you gave me, I would suggest a size 1. Century%26#039;s sizing guide states a size 1 would fit a child 4%26#039;3%26quot;-4%26#039;8%26quot; and weighing 70-90lbs. You have to be careful with the different brands however. Seems ProForce runs a bit larger than Century. My guess is that a size 1 is your best bet, but if possible have your child try on one to make sure. I would also suggest getting a colored one if its allowed. White shows all dirt and tends to show everything underneath as well (underwear, lol). Best of luck to you!!|||I would say probably size 1 maybe even 2. It depends on how the uniforms are cut. But I would give those two sizes a try.|||Size 0?
I have a size 5 Fuji gi and I%26#039;m 5%26#039;9%26quot; so going based on that I%26#039;d say maybe a 2 but more probably a 3.
