What singlets do your kids wear?

[OceanPrincess]

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...!

[Cranky Kitten]

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.

[~Kim~]

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.

[Miss.September]

I've gotten ours all from Best and Less, but they're the thick strap ones and I don't know what size they go up to. So I'm reallllllllyyy helpful tonight!

[OceanPrincess]

Pac No worries I might check them out anyway...

Nai - did you get bigger sizes at Target? Maybe they'll bring some more out now that its getting warmer... might just have to keeo checking.

Anyone else?

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

[OceanPrincess]

We still use them, its too cold here not too, especially at night....

...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

[Nai]

OP - yep Traget ones for DD1 are size 4-6. Also check in the school wear sections

[Melbournemumma]

We use kmart ones here.

[OceanPrincess]

Great thanks Nai!

Skybie - where do you get the bigger sized bonds ones?

Tara thanks for the tip, I'll check Kmart too.

[HotI]

I get singlets and tie dye them to make them funky looking! don't know about bigger sizes though, so really not much help either.

[Olive]

both wear bonds, DD1 has the ones with the skinny straps and DD2 wears size 2 of the ribbed chesty bonds style ones

[Boo Boo]

Singlets all round here...I have to admit I am a singlet nazi - I love a singlet (me included) I really think they make a difference to body warmth in the cold melbourne winter....DD and the DS's wear Target - not sure what size they do go up to - DD is in the 4-6 at the moment but I never thought they would stop at a certain size???

[Liviam]

I get my kids (size 3 and 5) singlets from Big W and they are the bonds ones with DD's having skinny straps. DS have the thick ones. I don't care what brands they are I just buy whatever ones are in there size.
My kids don't wear singlets over summer but it is way too cold here over winter. I must admit I love wearing singlets too in winter.

[Nai]

Let me know if you do need any OP - my MIL gets them from the Target in Sunbury so I can get her to look next time she is in there and send them over. Also Aldi often do them so snap them up if you see them there.

[OceanPrincess]

Thanks guys for your lovely offers to find some for me!

Had a little luck at DFO: found some Bonds ones with skinny straps! They look very short though so I only got two to try out. DD is tall so it could be an issue... see how we go. They also had two size 2 blue vests so I grabbed them for DS. Its a start at least!

Nai, Olive, thanks
