Look in the back of their little red book (i pressume they still get them).
At the back there is a caculation to use. You need both partners' height. If I remember rightly it can be used from birth onwards.

Not possible at any age. I am a classic example. Small baby, short and slim during normal growing years and at 15, when I left school I was 5ft 4ins. I started work as soon as I left school and grew 9 ins in the next 9 months. Sounds impossible but true. I have been 6ft 1in to the present age of 69.

Don't bother with this.
Height and weight vary greatly among people and the so-called charts that state what height/weight your child should be are greatly flawed.
Firstly they're biased often in that they take small sample sizes from one demographical area and state it as the average.
Secondly, these factors are genetic and not related to anyone else except family members, so just because little johnny is so-and-so height doesn't mean little sarah or timmy are going to be the same height.
Thirdly, children grow at differing rates to each other.

I was given a formula for that when my kids were young, but it was accurate within about six inches either way, so pretty useless! I think that, with kids, you can judge the same way you do with mongrel puppies (no offence!): if they have dainty little hands and feet, the probability is they're not going to grow very tall, & vice versa.
For a bit of fun you could have a go at this: (don't go buying school uniform based on the results) http://www.eparenting.co.uk/health/howtall.shtml

People once said that a child at 30 months was half it's full height as an adult.

On their second birthday, double their height, and their adult height will be within 5 inches either side of that. Great help then!

they should be half their adult height at around 2 - 21/2 years. acc to that my children will all tower over me - my 10 yr old will be 6ft 4in - he is just shade under 5ft now! My 6 yr old will be 6ft - she is just 3ft10in now and the baby (who is 3, but still my baby) will be 6ft 2in and he is now 3ft 4in - all rough measurements as they are all at school so can't be measured! My 16 year old is already 2 ins above me, sob - I stopped at 5ft 6in, I always wanted to be 5ft 8in!

this is a link to a site that predicts the height of your child based on their height, as well as the height of their parents. I know it's not quite the answer you wanted, but it is a fairly accurate prediction.

I don't think any estimates will work. Both my parents are Round about the 6 ft mark and I'm only 5ft 1 !
