Things I really wish manufacturers would sort out...

Probably only me and my dd, but please could the manufacturers take note:

It is way too easy for determined small child to get her arms out of most car seat straps

Tops are impossible to put back on on Anyway Up Cups

Tops are impossible to get off boots baby cups (OK they have added a small lip but they are still difficult)

any more?

Dd still doesn't fit all Gap clothes she is only just fitting 18-24 month trousers and skirts the month after her second birthday she's not to tall so can usually get away with the smaller size but has recently shot upwards so her 12-18 month stuff doesn't fit anymore. But their tops have aways fitted her well so would diffinatly recomend them expat. Also if you find stuff in their sale you can get it at really good prices as they are usually so expensive. I'm really bad at trawing through their sales (one found a lovely down filled jacket reduced from £40 to £4) and find different places have better stuff than others. The best I've found in Scotland tend to be Perth and Princess Street in Edinburgh.

we used to have an outlet gap at cheshire oaks but now it just sells the stuff the same as the high street shops which is so frustrating. Gap is a bit expensive looked at jeans for her the other day started at about £14

Expat - try h&m my dd is tall and skinnie too and loads of their stuff has adjustable waistbands. Nice long legs too. DD 19 months is in 1 1/2 to 2 size trousers which have a couple of inches for growth and could be taken in far more than i have needed to.

Yeah the gap outlets are useless its much better to just keep going in to the regular store they tend to reduce stuff quite regularly when they are bringing in new season stock. Although they don't seem to do it as much at this time of year. Its has got to the stage where the staff in the loacl shop have known me and my daughter since she was a few days old.
Think I've only ever bought one full price outfit from them and my daughters wardrobe is full of their stuff.
