My daughter has similar measurements to your son. I have in the past successfully made pants her pants where the width was significant smaller than the rise and length. If I recall correctly I think I did a size 12-18 month width Afterschool pant with a 2T rise and length and it worked well.
I haven’t tried this with Art Museum though.
