My son is 4 and has a tiny booty/waist, but very long legs so by the time his waist grows into the pants his legs start shooting out the bottom. Needless to say, finding toddler pants has been hard. Even the adjustable tab pants that Childrens Place sells didn't help. We just always have to find drawstring waists and order a size up. The problem has become more pronounced as he's gotten older (i.e. growing like a very aggressive weed). He has just barely started wearing 5T pants in the waist but of course is almost grown out length wise,  so I bought the little boys  5 Slim size to try it out and they fgot without falling off his booty but he still had room to grow in both the waist AND the legs - this literally has never happened before! I feel like I've found the skinny/tall kid holy grail! So glad hes in boys sizes now so I can rest assured I will always be able to find quality pants that fit him with TCP!
