Why do the toddlers and children made with Daz 3d Genesis 8 look so weird?

I checked out many toddlers models in Daz 3D shop

dForce Ruffle Princess for Genesis 8 Female(s) | Daz 3D

Gage for Tobyn 8 HD for Genesis 8 Male | Daz 3D

Small World for Caryn 8 HD and Tobyn 8 HD | Daz 3D

They seem to look very much like "adults of smaller size" rather than babies. Same for children characters.  I wonder if this is a limitation for G8F/G8M. Are you guys able to make more authentic toddlers and childen?

    kids or men make no moneyz, so no one makes it. it's all about the sexy womenz.
    https://www.daz3d.com/angelwings used to have quite a few more, but they vanished from store. The best I have seen when it comes to kids is that vendor's work.

    They look like surfaces rather than volumes. Their fat defies the laws of gravity.

    I had a few comments along these lines in this thread too ...

    Thanks for pointing this out. Do you if angelwings posted their work somewhere else? I would be a shame to see their work off-store anywhere!

    The baby model linked to isn't the nicest. I've owned all the previous daz babies and also hivewire's. I think there is a lot to be said for having a stand alone model instead of a morph. I do own that particular model and I do have a morph for it that looks reasonable though. 

  • deepsea did some that seem much better

    I've seen some young characters with adult heads/faces, as well as old characters with similar adult faces which looked to young...
    Becaus I am in drawing for some time (...you know dinosaur style : paper, pencil, ink...) there was a lot to learn about anatomy which influences the silouettes of our bodies.
    For the differences of in faces of adults and childs there is a good YouTube video:

    The lady did an excellent job. She got the most things right, although in my oppion her remark about thin hair is only accurate for babies.
    An example for the underlying anatomical reasons for the change of face structure during growing up and getting old is the cartilage in our nose. This is one of the few parts in our body which don't stop growing during our live. In a newborn this cartilage is short (so the nose is upturned). Old witches - where this cartilage had a long, long time to grow - end therefore up with noses where the tip points toward the chin.
    I took the  question as a challange and tried to get a dial-in character from Genesis 8.1.
    It can be done with sufficient results, but I had to use other morphs in addition to the Genesis 8 / 8.1 face morphs, e.g. some of the excellent morphs of SickleYiels SY200, an adaption of DieTrying morphs to Genesis 8.
