What's the difference between 24 months & 2T clothes?

I have been picking up some basics for Sarah for next winter while it's all marked down and saw 24 months, 2T and 36 months/3T. Since 36 months & 3T are the same, does that mean 24 months & 2T are the same? Am I the only person who gets totally confused by this?

Just from what I've seen. 24 months run smaller & has room for diapers. 2T is a little bit longer but slimer in the legs. Also the 2T clothes seem more conducive to potty training (stretch waistbands, easier to get off)

Thanks Barbara.

I've been getting 24 months since she's still in 9-12 months at 12 months old. Worst case, I'll try to sell them on ebay or donate them somewhere.

I havent found much of a difference.

In pants, I've found the 24 months to be a bit shorter, and the 2T runs longer. Same for shirts. I buy 24 month pants for Andrew because he was short legs and 2T or 3T shirts for him because he has a long torso.
