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.

They still have them in Mothercare too.

Love the John lewis ones - they seem to be the only ones that do sleeveless vests which I prefer to have under t-shirts and short sleeve dresses so you can't see the vest peeking out...

Next do 2-3yr vests too. They were the only non-supermarket vests we bought but they were nice and thick so I didn't resent the extra money too much.

I know this is a zombie thread but i wanted to add to it!

Marks and Spencers and John Lewis seem to be the only reliable places now, i hunted everywhere. DS2 is only 18mo but has grown out of the 18-24 months and is nowhere near potty training.

Marks and Spencers. From now on I won't waste lots of time searching everywhere else. I guess it is assumed that a 2-3 year old has been potty trained so that poppers are not convenient but we're not and I love cosy popper vests in this weather. M and S has 2 current on-line ranges from what I have seen. We got a nautical one then later I discovered a mix inc. colourful elephants and such like. Not even mark's or expensive ho ho!

H&M. They go up to age 24mo and they're pretty big too. 3 for a tenner at the moment. Just bought a pile for DD.

I've never found any in an actual shop, but verbaudet do them up to 3. You'll need to click on newborn rather than boy/girl.

John Lewis basic packs go up to 2-3 I think and always washed/wore well.

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

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

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

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.

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

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?

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

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.

Would second Mothercare - that where I got them from. Moved DS to popperless vests at 2 years 9 months when we potty trained.

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!

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.

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!

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).
