    What singlets do your kids wear?

    If they wear any?

    I've had them as babies in Bonds or Target ribbed vests... DD has now graduated into little singlets that I got from Target with skinny straps which I love as they don't show around the neck of her tops and dresses. But I bought her size 2 a while back, and now she has grown. I keep putting books on her head but she keeps shooting up

    Anyway they don't seem to have them anymore.

    So what do your LOs wear?

    At what age do they stop wearing singlets anyway? She still seems so little...!

    I usually used the bonds ones on DD, but that only lasted until Perth's notorious evil summer kicked in when she was about 9 months old...I don't know that there is any particular age as such that they should stop so long as everyone's comfortable.

    As for the books on the head - never worked for me. Had to graduate to the trick my big brother used to use on me, pressing down on my head every couple of days. Still not sure it's working

    DD1 still wears singlets - hey I still wear them. Since when do you grow out of wearing singlets?

    I think ours are from Target with the skinny straps.

    We don't tend to use them here, but I did get DD some this year from target. They're an 8 (she's 5), and she still wears them occasionally. I got them where the boys undies and socks are ( but there's a girl section in that spot too).
    DS is in 4's to get over his big noggin, but he refuses to wear them.....oh and books on the head don't work....wish I could find something that did - she's costing me a fortune in size upgrades every 5 minutes lol.

    We use the Bondas Baby Singlet Rompers, so the singlets that clip under their crotch. I find singlets temselves ride up and are quite annoying! I am still using them for dd2 who is 1 year old. At the moment they go under her wondersuit, and once the weather gets hot she will probably wear them on their own around the house

    We still use them, its too cold here not too, especially at night. When they were little we used the ones with the clips in the crotch, actually they werent even singlet style just thinner body suits without legs and short arms lol. Now we use the bonds singlets if they fit over boofs head, or the big boy singlets from the big boy section with the muscley looking guy on the tag... yep super helpful here.

    ETA We stopped with the crotch clipped ones when they started toilet training or in the eldests case got to tall.

    That's my problem too, the cold.

    And yep, I'm leaning away from the snapped ones as we are now nappy-free during the day :happydance

    So I need something else...

    Will check Target again.

    ETA: she's almost 3, currently wearing size 3 or 4. So Bonds don't cut it anymore... Grr. Love Bonds.

    DD1 wears the bonds singlets everyday, its too cold down here, even though she doesnt feel it!
    DD2 wears either bonds or target brand singlets with a bonds singlet suit over the top to make sure she doesnt get a bare midriff when being picked up ect.
    i have no intention of stopping the singlet wearing on DD1, and she's 5
