WANTED-Toddler proof sleepsuits or PJs

dd-21 months is a Houdini-ette and keeps stripping at some time in the night to chuck her nappy accross the room and then tell me her bed is dirty

so if anyone has or knows of suits that are more difficult to remove by the child in them, I would appreciate it if you could let me know-I do have one that was given to me by a friend that zips up and has a button accross the top, but its a fleece so a bit warm for this weather and I don't know where it originally came from.

can you take the feet off some of her current ones and put them on back to front?

Jas · 22/06/2009 21:15

The one you have comes from primark, I think. No idea if they do non-fleecy ones though

NeedCoffee · 22/06/2009 21:22

try to find some 'Bonds' sleepsuits..they're an aussie make. all in one types. 'easysuit' is what they're called methinks..

Verbaudet sleep suits usually have the poppers at the back instead of teh front.

thanks all, looked in primark, but the didn't have any sleepsuits at all

have put her one on back to front so will see how that goes, but she was already undoing the legs when i put her to bed.

Sammysamsam-do you know of any UK stockists?

MissBlythe-Damn you for posting that link! they have a sale on, now I'm going to have to have a good look and probably end up spending more money

oooh, I'm not sure needcoffee - i only discovered then a couple of months ago when my workmate gave a couple to me as a babygift (really didn't find them 'all that' at the start, mind!) but they're wonderful- esp for midnight nappy changes for me when i just mess up with the poppers as im half asleep! will ask her where she bought them from and report back.

put her nappy on backwards\

LupusinaLlamasuit · 24/06/2009 07:15

WE do use a fleecey one, even in the summer but then our houdini won't sleep under any covers either so we put a thin sleepsuit on then a zip up fleecey one over the top.

This takes longer but he has still done it when determined. Great tip about putting on backwards

NeedCoffee · 24/06/2009 10:41

thanks sammysam, will have a look properly later when i get chance, i don't know about the sizes either, their may be a size chart on the site somewhere.

Fox-lol, I like it-I'll try and trick her...

Nappy on backwards is excellent...if she can escape from that, put a cloth nappy wrap over the top as well! Now that worked wonders!

Also a gro-bag for her to sleep in. Some of them have an extra zip flap to stop them un-doing the zip.

NeedCoffee · 24/06/2009 16:51

seriously? put it on backwards? saying that she manages to take it when she still has her bodysuit oin, so not sure if it'd work. was going to try a growbag but she was already sweating last night in just a sleepsuit so can't do it atm.

I have DS in a summer grobag.... he wears these back to front to stop him escaping. So far he's not managed to undo it
