If you’ve ever found yourself squinting at baby clothes labels, wondering if there’s some kind of secret baby code you missed out on, you’re not alone. One of the top questions we get asked here at Jamison & Bexley is, “What’s the difference between 24M and 2T?” Because let’s be honest—once your little one is approaching that 2-year mark, these labels start feeling like a fashion puzzle.
So, let’s clear it up!
24M (24 Months): The Baby Vibe
Think of 24M as your baby’s last hurrah before fully diving into the toddler world. This size is still part of the "baby" category. If your little one is more into crawling, scooting, or giving the occasional wobbly step, 24M is the size for you. It’s designed with extra room for diapers (yep, we said the ‘D’ word), and in some cases, you’ll find those handy snaps for quick diaper changes. There’s more room in the booty area, so your baby can lounge, play, and give you those chubby-cheeked smiles without feeling restricted.
Basically, 24M says, “I’m still figuring out this walking thing, and diapers are definitely part of my look.”

2T (2 Toddler): Toddler in Training
On the other hand, 2T is for the child who is officially on the move—like, really on the move. It’s the start of the “toddler” sizes, designed for kiddos who have mastered walking (or running... away from you at top speed, because why walk when you can dash toward danger?). The big difference here? 2T assumes your little one might be in the process of potty training or already out of diapers, so the fit is a bit slimmer with less room for that diaper fluff.
No more snaps, just straightforward dressing. 2T is all about mobility—perfect for those playground adventures or just running circles around the house because, well, that’s their new hobby.

So, Which Size Is Right for Your Little One?
If your child is still in diapers and you’re not rushing to potty train, 24M might be the better fit. It gives that extra diaper space and comfort for all the baby-ish things they’re still doing (like crawling, teetering, and full-on face-planting into soft toys).
If they’re out there making you chase them and you’re thinking about transitioning out of diapers, 2T is your go-to.
At the end of the day, whether you’re team 24M or 2T, we’ve got your little one covered with our gender-neutral designs that will have them looking stylish whether they’re crawling, running, or just causing general mayhem.
