| #One should buy a talit katan for a child who has reached the age of chinuch.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 17:3

| Aruch HaShulchan 17:5 asks why one is obligated to buy his child a talit as the mitzvah of tzitzit is limited to one who is wearing a four cornered garment. So if one doesn't have the garment, there is no requirement? Rav Simcha Bunim Cohen (Children in Halacha page 15 footnote 8) quotes the Bach s.v. katan that since the custom is that everyone wears tzitzit, one is obligated in chinuch of this custom as well.

| ##Some say it is six or seven.<ref>Bach 16 s.v. umah shekasiv rabbaynu</ref>

| ##Others says that it is nine.<ref>Magen Avraham 16:1. Rav Moshe Feinstein (Igrot Moshe Y.D. 3:52:2) says that under the age of nine, the talit katan does not need the proper measurements. Aruch HaShulchan 16:5 says a talit katan has no shiur.</ref>
