Tips For Buying Romper Suits

by on January 25, 2009

For ease of dressing your little one, nothing beats a rompersuit!

As an all-in-one – that is a top and trousers combined – you don’t have to worry about matching a top and trousers together – just pull on a romper and you’re good to go !

They’re also known by lots of different names – rompers, rompersuits, playsuits, daysuits, onesies, babygros, babygrows.

I recommend choosing a one piece romper with lap (envelope) shoulders because that type of neckline is easiest for getting a baby in and out of without too much fussing.

Rompers may have poppers up the front and down each leg or simply inside the leg. Inside-leg poppers are great as it means you can dress baby quickly and if you choose the footless type, they last that little bit longer than babygros with feet.

As baby gets older, you might like to avoid dressing your baby in rompers which fasten across the front – a toddler quickly learns that they can unfasten the poppers!
