The only years being full mid 90's from beginning to end are 1994-1995.
The 90's decade is 99% mathematically accurate divided as follows:
Early 90's: January 1st, 1990-April 30, 1993 (40 months)
Mid 90's: May 1st, 1993-August 31st, 1996 (40 months)
Late 90's: September 1st, 1996-December 31st, 1999 (40 months)
So 1993 is early-mid and 1996 is mid-late, but both years are mostly mid 90's. They are both transitional years. Many people lazily attach the year 1993 to the early 90's because the number "3" appears early on the number line, or because they don't count 1990 as part of the 90's decade, but in reality 1993 is both mathematically and culturally part of the mid 90's.

"1993 was culturally the beginning of the mid 90's"
"How so?"
"Yes, that's the year the 90's really began to feel different from the very early 90's, Grunge music was mainstream, the first WTC bombing occured, the World Wide Web became public and AOL starts sending disks to thousands of households to connect them to the Internet."

People born from 1992-2001
Baby: 0-12 months
Toddler: 1-3 years
Kid: 4-12 years
Going by the definition of kid being 4-12 years old we can say 2000's kids are those born in 1992-2001 because they spent most of their childhood years in that decade:
1992 spent 4 years in the 90's vs 5 years in the 00's
1993 spent 3 years in the 90's vs 6 years in the 00's
1994 spent 2 years in the 90's vs 7 years in the 00's
1995 spent 1 year in the 90's vs 8 years in the 00's
1996 and 1997 spent their full childhood years in the 2000's
1998 spent 8 years in the 00's vs 1 year in the 10's
1999 spent 7 years in the 00's vs 2 years in the 10's
2000 spent 6 years in the 00's vs 3 years in the 10's
2001 spent 5 years in the 00's vs 4 years in the 10's
This makes 1992-1995 the 2000's kids with a 90's overlap, 1996-1997 full 2000's kids and 1998-2001 the 2000's kids with a 2010's overlap.
