The for-sure test is to check their cells for an extra 21st chromosome.

General characteristics
Most children with Down syndrome have some of the following physical traits:
Short stature. A child often grows slowly and, as an adult, is shorter than average.
Weak muscles (hypotonia) throughout the body. A child may seem to have less strength than other children of the same age. Weak abdominal muscles also make the stomach stick out. Normally, children's stomach muscles gradually strengthen around age 2.
A short, wide neck with excess fat and skin. Usually, this trait is less obvious as the child gets older.
Short, stocky arms and legs. Some children also have a wide space between the big toe and second toe.
A single crease across the center of the palms of the hands. This is called a transverse palmar crease or simian line.
