Buying kids' mannequins in Bangladesh

A kids' mannequin is a child-sized display figure for children's clothing, made in bands from baby to teen. It is store display equipment, not a toy. Buyers in Bangladesh include children's wear stores and departments and, typically, garment factory showrooms that present kidswear samples. Importers abroad buy child figures on the same customs line as adult ones.

Two points need care with child figures: the age label may not match your clothes, and the figure stands where children can reach it. A kids' mannequin manufacturer in Bangladesh should be briefed on both. Roptan writes heights and measurements into the order, asks for a stable base and smooth edges, and checks the bulk.

Kinds of kids' mannequin

Baby and toddler figures

Small figures for infantwear and baby gifts. Infant clothes are sometimes sized by weight rather than age, so give the label you use together with the measurements.

Child figures

The middle age bands, usually sold by age. Age labels differ between makers, so order them by height and body measurements, not by age alone.

Teen figures

A separate retailer band between child and adult. Choose them for school uniforms and teenage fashion, where adult figures stand too tall for the clothes.

Child torsos

Upper-body forms within each age band. Choose them for tops, school shirts and shelf or counter displays where a full figure does not fit.

Plastic and foam figures

Plastic is built for heavy store traffic and costs less than fibreglass. A light foam or flexible figure is another option where children may touch a display.

How to brief a kids' mannequin manufacturer in Bangladesh

Height first
Height in cm for each figure, then chest, waist and hip, and the age label you sell under, since labels vary between makers.
Measuring method
Name ISO 8559-1 on your chart, so each measurement is taken the same way at the maker and in your pattern room.
Material
Plastic or foam for floors where children handle displays; fibreglass for windows, where figures stand out of reach.
Base and fixing
A wide, heavy base or a wall or floor fixing, so a figure does not tip if a child pulls it. Ask to see a dressed figure pushed.
Edges and small parts
Smooth joints, no sharp seams, and hands and fittings that stay put. We know of no safety standard for display figures, so write these into the order.
Finish
Matt or gloss against an approved panel, with a cross-cut check on the sample, since chipped paint on a children's floor flakes.

Tests and papers for kids' mannequins

Child safety, as your own terms
No product standard for display figures was found. Make a stable base, smooth edges and secure small parts your written requirements, and check them on the sample.
ISO 8559-1
Defines how body measurements are taken, so the heights and girths on your age chart mean the same at the maker as in your sample room.
ISO 2409 cross-cut test
Rates how a paint film resists separating when a lattice is cut through it. Its scope says it does not measure adhesion; use it as a finish check.
REACH declaration
For the EU: ask the seller to declare any Candidate List substance above 0.1 per cent of the figure's mass in resin, plastic or paint.

What moves the price of a kids' mannequin

  • Material: fibreglass costs more than plastic; plastic suits a floor where figures move often.
  • Face work: hair and make-up add cost; abstract and headless child figures need neither.
  • Age bands: ask for a price per height, since each band in a baby-to-teen set is a separate figure.
  • Base and fixings: ask whether wide bases, wall brackets or floor fixings are in the figure price or extra.

Lead times and delivery

Roptan quotes no typical range here, because the date depends on the moulds. Stock age bands from existing moulds in a standard finish are quickest. A new size, a figure sculpted to your own chart and custom colours make it longer; ask how long resin and paint cure before packing. Roptan confirms the dates and the minimum in the quote.

We deliver child figures to stores, children's departments and factory showrooms across Bangladesh, one per carton with small parts bagged. A carton of small figures sits well under the 68 kg limit of ISTA 1A, so ask for that test on the first one. Delivery comes with the packing list and a VAT invoice (Mushak 6.3).

Buying kids' mannequins for export

Child figures usually enter under HS heading 9618, tailors' dummies and other lay figures; your customs broker confirms the line. Bangladesh exported about 10.43 million US dollars on that heading in FY2025-26 (EPB), a total that includes animated displays. Roptan quotes FOB Chattogram; the seller's REX statement supports EU GSP or UK DCTS claims.

What we check for this order

  • Height per age bandWe measure each figure's height and girths against your age chart, since labels alone do not match between makers.
  • Push test on the baseWe push a dressed figure at shoulder height to check it does not tip, the way a child might pull on it.
  • Edges and small partsWe feel joints and seams for sharp edges and check that hands and fittings are secure.
  • Paint on the sampleWe check the sample's paint for chips and flaking against the approved panel.

Questions buyers ask

Is a kids' mannequin a toy?

No. It is store display equipment, and we know of no child-safety standard written for display figures. Because it stands on children's floors, write your own needs into the order: a wide or fixed base, smooth edges, secure hands. We check them on the sample and on bulk.

How do I choose sizes when labels go by age?

Use heights. Children's sizes are described by age or, for infants, weight, and labels differ between makers, so one seller's age 6 figure may stand taller than another's. Give each figure's height, chest, waist and hip in centimetres, matched to the clothes you sell.

Plastic or fibreglass for a children's department?

Usually plastic. It is built for heavy store traffic and costs less than fibreglass, which suits a floor where displays are moved and touched. Keep fibreglass for windows, where a figure stands out of reach.

Can I order a set from baby to teen?

Yes, as separate figures, each with its own height and measurements, since baby, child and teen are separate bands. Approve one sample of each before bulk.

How soon will I hear back about mannequins and display?

Within 48 hours of a complete requirement, with a price and a delivery date. A requirement is complete when it has the quantity, where it is needed and by when.
