Normal vital signs in children can vary significantly depending on age. A child's heart rate is usually higher than an adult's, between 70-160 beats per minute for infants under 1 year old and 60-100 beats per minute for children 1-10 years old. A child's respiratory rate is also higher than adults, between 30-60 breaths per minute for infants under 1 year and 20-30 breaths per minute for children 1-10 years old. A child's temperature is generally lower than an adult's, between 36.5-37.5°C (97.7-99.5°F) for children ages 3 months to 10 years.
