Size 72 in German is equivilant to a child who is approx. 28 inches tall. Which, I would say is 9-12 months.

Size Matters
When it comes to clothing and shoe sizes, Europeans, Americans and the British use very different systems. Not only is there the difference in metric versus English measurements, but there are different philosophies in some areas, especially in children's sizes. And not even the British and American sizes are always the same.
For children's clothing, Europeans go by height rather than age. For instance, a kid's size 116 in Europe is for a child 114-116 cm (45-46 in) tall. That equals the US/UK "age 6" size, but not all six-year-olds are the same height. When converting children's sizes, you should remember that difference.
See the conversion charts below for more information.

I am an American that lives in Germany. The sizes can be confusing and I always carry a conversion chart with me!
Size 72 is the approx. of a 12 month infant size in the states.
It is always best though to be able to try things on. My daughter typically wears a size 116 but I have had to get sizes much bigger because of the differences!
