Height Predictor

I got this from www.babycenter.com.


Height Predictor

Sex: F
Age: 2
Height: 2ft. 11in.
Weight: 29lbs.
Mother's height: 5ft. 4in.
Father's height: 5ft. 8in.

Note: This calculator works for children age 2 and up. (Depending on your child's age, we'll use some or all of the information you entered above in our calculations.) You may get inaccurate results for children who are exceptionally tall or are already taller than both their parents.Keep in mind that the BabyCenter Height Predictor is meant to be a fun tool. The result will be a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. If you're concerned about your child's growth, talk to his healthcare provider.

Thanks for using our calculator!

Your daughter will likely be 5 feet, 7 inches tall at age 18.

This prediction is a "best guess" but it's still just that -- a guess. Based on the formula we used,* there's a 50 percent chance your daughter's full-grown height will be within 1 inch (above or below) of this prediction, a 69 percent chance it will be within 2 inches, and an 84 percent chance it will be within 3 inches.

The fine print:This method relies on where your daughter falls on the Centers for Disease Control's growth charts, and it assumes that she'll remain in the same percentile until she reaches her adult height. The accuracy of the prediction varies because some children will fall into different percentiles throughout childhood.*Reference:The Multiplier Method for Prediction of Adult HeightBy Jonathan Paley, Jonathan Talor, Anna Levin, Anil Bhave, Dror Paley, and John E.
