šŸ“ Baby & Child Adult Height Predictor

Use the mid‑parental height formula and your child’s current height to estimate an adult height range.

Based on pediatric mid‑parental height method – not a guarantee

Use decimal years (e.g., 3.5 years). Works best for ages > 2 years.

How Accurate Is Adult Height Prediction?

Mid‑parental height is a simple way pediatricians estimate the center of a child’s expected height range based on parents’ heights. Most healthy children will grow to somewhere within about ±8–9 cm (3–4 inches) of this value.

Children who have chronic illness, nutritional problems, or hormonal disorders may fall well outside this band—your pediatrician is the best person to evaluate growth concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this calculator replace a visit with our pediatrician?

No. It gives an approximate range only. If you’re worried about slow or very rapid growth, always talk with your child’s doctor.

Does current height change the prediction?

Here we show the standard mid‑parental prediction; your child’s current height is mainly used in the interpretation text. Pediatricians use growth charts over time to see whether a child tracks along a curve.
