Vests with poppers for 2yo?

34 replies

Hope this is the right section to post in. Where can I get short sleeved vests with poppers for 2-3y age range?

DS is growing out of his 18-24m vests and the places that I got multipacks from (ASDA, Tesco, Primark), don't seem to do any vests with poppers past the 18-24m size.

M&S do them up to 2-3. Be warned though, as soon as you start potty training you'll need normal ones, so may not get the wear out of this set!

iamstitch · 26/03/2013 11:29

Sainsburys do them Grin

Ooh thanks for the M&S tip, and they're affordable too, that's great. I think I shall go for those as the last time we had Sainsbury's vests they came up really small (DS is 75th centile for weight & height).

He doesn't seem very ready for PT yet to be honest so I'm sure he'll get enough wear out of them. Thanks for the advice though!

I've struggled to find them in both M&S & Sainsbury's in store.
However, I bought some online last month for my 2yo as he was wearing stretch faded manky ones for ages from mothercare

The ones I bought (bright multicoloured) don't seem to be on there any more but there are a range of patterns and just plain white

NotAQueef · 26/03/2013 11:39

Oh I've just found the colour ones (in case farmyard animals and plain white aren't your thing) here

Camwombat · 26/03/2013 11:43

Maybe there is some regional variation here. Ds has loads of vests and bodysuits in age 2-3 all from Tesco. Admittedly, they are all white ones and not every store here stocks them, but you ought to be able to click and collect.

janey223 · 26/03/2013 11:45

Dunnes do lovely plain coloured bright coloured ones

NotAQueef · 26/03/2013 11:46

Never thought of click and collect cam just got hugely frustrated with the likes of next/sainsbury/tesco/h&m eetc in store!
our big Tesco has 'baby section' up to 18months, then it goes to normal vests which is ridiculous really as lots of children are still in nappies at age 2 plus I worry that his stomach will get cold Blush

Camwombat · 26/03/2013 11:53

Bizarrely they are still with the baby stuff amongst all the other vests, babygros etc.

I'm sure I have also seen them in Asda but that may just be wishful thinking. Grin

Hmm perhaps all the stores do them in theory, but just never have any in stock. When I was in ASDA last I saw they had 2-3y pyjamas, they were in the same section as all the 0-24m vests, but no 2-3y vests (and even the 18-24m ones are sparse).

We use sleeveless rather than sleeved, got them from Mothercare. They're washing really well.
I'm with you on DS not being ready for PT yet, and in this weather I want him in something that I haven't got to try to keep tucked in!

Flisspaps · 26/03/2013 14:31

We got some for DD from Tesco.

ZuleikaD · 26/03/2013 16:50

Plus there's always an excellent selection on ebay!

Cantbelieveitsnotbutter · 26/03/2013 16:59

Mother care was the only place I could find them

Sizzlesthedog · 26/03/2013 18:09

Marks and Spencer, Mothercare, Next all online, plain or patterned. Mothercare is the only place I've found them in stock on the shop floor.

Sainsburys don't seem to do them beyond 18-24. Looked on back of the packs in store and that was the biggest they did.

andrews81 · 14/04/2013 21:20

I've recently brought my little boy some 2-3 years ones from tesco. Short sleeved ones; but it has taken a while for them to be in stock though!

Next, and they're lovely quality too. DD had various newborn vests and Next were by far the best so that's all she's had since.

LakeFlyPie · 15/04/2013 00:03

I struggled to find any for DS2 (28mos) recently despite M+S and Tesco both having them online they never seemed to be available to order.

Eventually found some 18-24 mos stripey long sleeved ones in Tesco which are quite generously sized so are doing the job ATM.

Have got some of these too which are really useful for lengthening the body of vests, am hoping they'll see us through to potty training Smile

babySophieRose · 15/04/2013 10:53

I think they are not widely available because at that age kids are using a potty and normal vests are more easy for that purpose. I though poppers vests are used only with nappy?

MortifiedAdams · 15/04/2013 10:58

Not all id go so far as to say hardly any 2yos are fully potty trained babySophieRose

MrsHoarder · 15/04/2013 16:27

Also not all children follow the ages on the packet. DS isn't 1 yet and is in the 18-24 months clothes. I have no expectation at all of him being potty trained before we need to start on the 2-3years clothes.

Keepthechangeyoufilthyanimal · 15/04/2013 16:42

Mothercare definitely do them (I used to be a buyer there)
There were always people asking for that size but in a store pack you'd only get one size 2-3 years for every 3 or 4 packs in the other sizes so limited availability!

3 pack available online here

dogindisguise · 15/04/2013 20:27

We couldn't find any but got some vest extenders that do the job.

MissRedIndie · 16/04/2013 06:59

Hi everyone, H&M kids shops also do aged 2-3 vests and they come up really big.
