Do babygrows stop at age 2? What do I get my nearly 2 year old? Vests? Where do I get them? It'll be weird not putting him in a babygro but j can't find any that go past 18-24 months. I'm guessing coz he's no longer a baby?!

Do you mean the vests that have poppers between the legs? Or sleepsuit type things? The sleepsuits can still usually be found in bigger sizes although often not in multipacks. The vests with poppers normally go up to age 2-3 in supermarkets but rarely after that as it's completely impractical when potty training!

Tesco, next, m&s and John Lewis all do them online but only in white.

Wouldn't that just start being onesie after age 2? Confused

Or is it the feet specifically that you're looking for?

I just mean the ones that are short sleeve and go over their body and do up under their crotch - no sleeves legs or feet...

Tesco do age 2-3 bodysuits, short-sleeved and long-sleeved. A lot of places do stop at 18-24 months though.

Next also do them up to 24 months and then I would give them a stretch when wet to get a few months more wear out of them!

Lots of places do them beyond age 2. Tesco do them in 2-3 and is where I used to shop for most of mine. Think M&S do them too, and Verbaudet. My DDs both wore them at night until they were nearly 3.

John lewis do 2-3 vests/
bodysuits as well.

Anyone found 3-4 bodysuits? I want some for under DD's PJs as normal vests tend to ride up and leave her middle cold (and we're not going to try nighttime toilet training for a while)

minipie you can get them past age 3 but they are usually aimed at children with special needs who need accessible clothing and are very expensive. However, M&S has recently launched a range of clothing for children with special needs that includes poppered vests. Here
They cost £4 per vest and go up to age 8.

You can get vest extenders too that might extend the life of your existing poppered vests
