What exactly should parents check before ordering kids' clothing online?

I've been browsing online stores for my toddler's wardrobe and noticed huge price differences for similar items. Some brands charge triple for what looks like the same cotton onesie. How do people decide which children's clothing brands are actually worth the money? Are there red flags in product descriptions or return policies that reveal quality issues early?
 
I always check fabric composition first. A friend bought adorable pajamas that shrank after one wash because the label said "cotton blend" but was mostly synthetic. Now she reads care instructions carefully and orders one item before committing to a full set. Sizing charts also vary wildly between brands.
 
I compare photos across different sites and look for consistent stitching details in reviews. When considering premium brands, I sometimes check Caden Lane reviews to see how actual parents describe fabric durability after multiple washes. In real life, kids outgrow clothes fast, so balancing quality with price means reading about shrinkage, color fading, and whether items soften or stiffen over time before placing larger orders.
