Yes it is, its sexualising children wayyyy too young.

Well hopefully not many parents buy them then.

Seen girls about 4 in this sort of stuff and thought, why? If mom wears them.she may decide to dress daughter as a mini me.

The function for a grown woman would be to give her support around her breasts or cover them for privacy. For a 2 year old I'm really not sure. If it's warm enough for no vest then no vest is fine. Covering their chest like a grown woman is very very strange.

Sorry I explained my post badly, or little. They were in the girls vest section. Topless is fine. My question is why a 2 year old girl covers her chest or wears a training bra? If it's warm enough for no vest then no vest.

So for everyone who thinks it’s fine, would they put a little boy in one of those

Yeah I would if he saw it and liked it.

Yes. The people who made these are targeting tiny 8 years olds. Thats why they put 2/3 on the packet 👍

🙄 2/3 is the age of the average kid that fits the clothing. Some kids are not average sized. That’s all my point was.

Teanandtoast · 01/09/2025 23:54

I bought these in age 3-4 as my daughter is small for her age but started developing early. I felt sad when buying them!

Either a 2yr old needs a vest or they don’t.
I mean, we’ve managed to dress toddlers for a long time without needing a half length under shirt.

What functional purpose does this top have? Why would you put it on your little boy?

roseevenmadder · 01/09/2025 23:32

It’s an odd and impractical piece of clothing but I’m not sure id use the word creepy. I don’t really get it though, it’s pointless to wear it as a vest but surely it’s not meant to be worn as a piece of clothing. It looks like underwear.

Kids need layers and its the hottest summer on record. Its underwear not outter wear.

Well when it's hot they could just go with no vest under clothing? I don't understand the need for a crop top?

No. It's just a piece of clothing. I don't know why anyone would think a toddler's torso was indecent.

Yes it’s creepy and sexualising babies. It also looks cheap and nasty.

FluffySnugglyBlankets · 01/09/2025 22:18

I wouldn't have a problem with these for during a heatwave. Just at home though.

My daughter was super tiny for her age and when she was 8/9 an age 2/3 vest easily would have fit her. She wanted to wear the same clothes as her friends but couldn’t because they were too big for her.
just saying just becuase the item has a young age size, it doesn’t mean it’s not useful for someone older.

I love when people try to pretend it’s just a practical piece of clothing, but can’t explain why only girls need to “keep cool”

Unless you are suggesting that leaving a baby girl without a top on is somehow wrong but is ok for baby boys? Because isn’t that just as problematic?

You must have a really low opinion of men if you think this.

Show quote history

I think the amount of people who go through abuse as children say that the low opinion is warranted in a lot of cases. However, I don't think buying your child a crop top is going to make the blindest bit of difference.

PocketBattleship · 01/09/2025 22:02

Clairesheep · 01/09/2025 21:19

Yes, my worry was that it is impractical but also sexualises children. I wore these when I was practising for wearing a bra going through puberty when I was 10 or something. Not 2!

Its super chavvy and wrong. A little girl was wearing one yesterday at an adventure park she went down a big plastic slide and got major friction burns on her back she screamed her head off!
