To be really accurate you will need to use a stadiometer, like medics use.
As boys, my brothers and I were measured up against the door pillar in the kitchen. We stood to attention while Dad put a carving knife along the top of head ( very carefully ! ) and made a mark on the pillar. He then took his tape measure out and measured the mark off the floor. About as accurate as we needed back then.
