Brief Introduction to Child Mannequins

Child mannequins are life-size models of children used by retailers to display clothing and accessories in stores. These mannequins are designed to accurately represent the proportions and size of a child, allowing customers to visualize how the clothes will fit on a real child. Child mannequins come in a variety of poses and sizes, ranging from infants to teenagers. They are typically made from materials such as fiberglass, plastic, or wax, and can be customized to match various skin tones and features.

Types of Child Mannequins

Realistic Child Mannequins
Child Mannequins have a lifelike appearance and were made to mimic the appearance of actual people. Because their skin is constructed of fiberglass that is molded to seem like human skin, they have an even more lifelike appearance. The heads of realistic fashion mannequins are covered with wigs that may be fashioned to look either casual or formal, depending on how the mannequins are going to be dressed. Their bodies are scaled to the typical dimensions of a human being. The majority of high-end or pricey stores make use of these types of mannequins. Both the boy and girl versions are formed and made appropriately, which allows clothes to look as though they may be worn by a real person and get as near as possible to replicate their appearance.

Abstract Child Mannequins
Because of the unbelievably precise detail work that was done on their finishes, these child mannequins are extremely popular with high-end retailers and exhibits. Mannequins that include abstract designs are increasingly being regarded as contemporary works of art and are being displayed in high-end clothing boutiques all over the world. They have distinguishing characteristics that may be seen on their faces that set them apart from others. Other aspects of their bodies, like muscles, elbows, and fingernails, are also present.

Headless Child Mannequins
These provide excellent alternatives for presentations where space is restricted due to the height of the ceiling. In addition to being made from fiberglass, they are available in a wide variety of dimensions, contours, hues, and positions to cater to the specific needs of each exhibit. Their necks are often straight due to the manufacturer using fiberglass, which also ensures their endurance. Mannequins are devoid of heads and are used in the fashion industry to effectively showcase various articles of apparel because they do not convey any emotions.

What Are Advantages of Child Mannequins

Relatable Presentation

One of the most notable benefits of using mannequins in a retail store is the simple fact that it allows owners to present apparel products in a more relatable manner. There’s nothing wrong with hanging garments on a rack or slatwall, but this doesn't have the same effect as displaying them on a mannequin. When garments are displayed on mannequins, shoppers can see exactly how they look on the human form.

Enhanced Experience

Mannequins will also improve the overall shopping experience for your store's customers. Numerous studies have shown that mannequins promote a more positive shopping experience. It's likely attributed to the aesthetics of these accessories and how they affect the store environment. Retail stores that present their products on mannequins look better than stores that do not use mannequins. And when a store looks good, shoppers tend to have a better all-around experience.

Flexible Displays

Most store fixtures live up to their namesake by remaining stationary. Mannequins are incredibly easy to move. If you're tired of seeing your store's mannequins in the same area day after day, perhaps you should move them to a new area. Sometimes all it takes is a slight adjustment such as this to promote greater engagement with your shoppers.

Profitable Investment

Yet another reason why you should use mannequins in your retail store is because they are a smart investment. Once the mannequins are set up, they will work all the time to promote your products; thus, increasing sales. So even if you have to shell out some initial cash for them, you will earn more revenue in the long run, making them a smart investment.

Components of Child Mannequins

Foot Flange
Mannequins standing upright are typically attached to their base by a foot flange. The foot has a hole, which fits over a rod protruding from the base. This rod is either a round or square extruded bar, matching the size and shape of the hole in the mannequin's foot. This type of base attachment makes the mannequin very accessible and easy to remove from the base but does impede the ability to display shoes or stockings. A mannequin using a foot flange rod tends to have bare feet.

Calf and Ankle Rod
A short, upright bar extends up from the base and inserts into the fitting above the mannequin's ankle or calf. This type of base attachment will allow you to display shoes and pants. Note that you won't be able to display stirrup or Capri pants. Word to the wise, also pay attention to the area around the rod. Repeated movement on and off the stand can lead to cracks and weakening of the leg, leading to a broken mannequin.

Butt Rod

This is a square or round metal rod, extending up at an angle from the base that attaches to the mannequin's upper thigh. You have likely seen this type of mannequin before, as this used to be an industry standard. There is one huge disadvantage to the style as displayed pants must have the seams opened. The rods in children's mannequins tend to be different than those outlined above. Expect a back insert or a rod that goes in the ankle.

Bases

Mannequin bases are either made of commercial glass, Plexiglas, or metal. Commercial glass gives a contemporary vibe, but is very breakable. Plexiglas is functional, but is easily scratched. Finally metal is a durable option, but is heavy if you plan on moving the mannequin on a regular basis.

Construction

Mannequins are made to separate at the seams. They usually detach at the wrists, shoulder, torso, and legs. Note what kind of clothing you want to display. If garments with tight-fitting sleeves will be showcased, ensure you select a mannequin with removable hands.

How to Use Child Mannequins

Proper Display Techniques
Clothes on mannequins must be properly displayed in the correct proportion with the right amount of stuffing. Tissue or plastic bags can be used to fill in a torso, legs, arms, shoulders, or any other body feature of a mannequin that displays a child's garment. This kind of stuffing along with creative positioning will bring life to child mannequins. Perhaps the mannequin assumes an action pose or has an arm around another buddy mannequin.

Layering and Themes
Layering merchandise is very popular for kid mannequins, turtlenecks undersweaters, or colored shirts under open collars and vests. Customers like to see the full concept of a layered look, and layers are more popular for kids than they have ever been. Also, the concept of mannequin dressing is to display as many different products as possible while sticking to departmental or designated themes.

Head Decoration
Child mannequin heads are also much more presentable with some type of decoration. For some reason a bare head on a child's mannequins looks strange, so add some hair, a bow, or a hat. If you are not using hair, a bow on the front of a hat will help distinguish sex. Once the mannequins are dressed and posed, you should step back and make sure they are slightly angled off-center. In most cases, mannequins should be slightly turned to one side or the other for the advantage of an approaching customer.

Elevating Displays
Because child mannequins are shorter, it is very helpful to have some type of fixture or platform that creates different levels of mannequin display. Arranged and stacked cubes work well to create multiple, interesting levels, while platforms will bring small mannequins to adult eye level.

Importance of Lighting
Just like any other store display, lighting is a crucial component of children's store displays. You may have the best mannequins, in the best positions, with the perfect clothes, but if they are not well-lit, it is all waste. Lighting can be the finishing touch to bringing great energy to a store display. It will feature store mannequins and make them stand out to customers, rather than blend in.

Maintenance of Child Mannequins

Clean Handling
Always make sure your hands are clean and free of jewellery. You may want to wear gloves when handling your mannequin to ensure there will be no damage to the mannequin.

Fragile Parts
Take extra care of the most vulnerable parts of the mannequins (fingers, hands, joints, face and neck). These parts of the mannequin are the most liable to breakages. This means you need to take extra care when cleaning or renovating these parts of the mannequins. Also when storing the mannequin, these parts need to be separate and wrapped in bubble wrap to protect them from breakages.

Avoid Impact
Avoid banging your mannequin into hard objects. This is to avoid your mannequin breaking or chipping.

Handle with Care

Do not allow the mannequin to fall. Again this is to avoid breaking the mannequin. Take extra care when carrying your mannequin. It is better to take your mannequin apart when manoeuvring it around as it is easier to move and less likely to break.

Removing Marks

Removing smudges and marks. This can be done with multiple different methods. The first option is to use a mix of toothpaste and water and then use a small sponge to remove the soiled area. Pencil like marks can be removed easily by going over them using a rubber. The most likely cause of pencil marks on your mannequin is jewellery that has rubbed on the mannequin.

Safe Storage

When storing your mannequin, make sure to wrap every part separately in bubble wrap to avoid breakages.

Touch-Up Paint

In order to keep your mannequin looking clean you can also request touch up paint from your mannequin supplier. This comes in a small pot and can be used on soiled areas.

The Considerations for Buying Child Mannequins

Brand-Appropriate Mannequins
Your mannequins should reflect your brand concept. A mannequin made of chrome or clear material, for example, can be ideal for a store with an elegant European vibe. And a bright-colored mannequin is suitable for a youth-oriented store.

Reflecting Target Audience
Mannequins should look like them. For example, if your clients are teenagers, then the mannequins should also look like teenagers.

Choosing the Right Stand

This will help you determine the type of the mannequin stand. Some mannequin stands fit into the foot of the mannequin, so shoes cannot be placed on the mannequin. But these stands are very stable if you place the mannequins outdoors. If you need to put shoes on a mannequin, you will need a shoe that goes into the mannequin’s calf. Some older mannequins have a stand with a rod that goes into the buttocks of the mannequin.

Matching Style and Purpose
It depends on the style of your shop. If you sell sportswear, a mannequin should also look active in sportswear. Mannequins in lingerie or swimwear should look more sexy and casual.

Full-Size vs. “Non-Mannequins”
Only the body of the mannequin or the shape of the dress will be much easier to dress, but such “non-mannequins” look completely unrealistic, unlike a life-size mannequin. Merchandisers ususally place them on the high shelves, and such mannequins show just one item (for example, jeans or just a top). If you sell clothing, jewelry, shoes, hats, or accessories, you’ll definitely need a full-size mannequin with a head to show all of these items.

Window Display vs. Store Mannequins
Usually window display mannequins have faces and draw more attention. The mannequins in the store are more utilitarian.

Posing for Maximum Impact
The best poses for mannequins are a relaxed pose for casual wear and a sexy pose for lingerie. A wide-legged pose is fine for showing off pants, but not for a tight pencil skirt. If you’re displaying jewelry or other accessories on a mannequin, then your posture may show this—for example, a raised arm or one hand on your hip instead of a mannequin with arms down. And when you buy multiple window display mannequins, it’s a good idea to display them in different types of poses – sitting, lying, and standing.
