Looking for towel/fleece all-in-one with legs for age 3-4 years

DD is currently 2.6 and has a Boden towelling all-in-one for wearing to and from swimming, a bit like this but in another pattern and minus the ears:

www.boden.co.uk/en-GB/Baby-Swimwear/71145-PNK/Baby-Strawberry-Surf-Spot-Towelling-All-In-One.html

Boden only make them up to age 24 months and we have just about managed to make hers last until now, but it doesn't fit any more.

I want an all-in-one with legs, not a dress, because we use it for winter as well. It saves the faff of "proper" clothes when we only ever go straight to and from the swimming pool and drive there in the car. We go swimming on a Sunday morning, and she often just hangs out at home in her all-in-one for the rest of the day. It's also good for popping her into if we're out late and she can sleep in it in the car.

I tried ordering a custom-made fleecy all-in-one from the "All-In-One Company" online but it's arrived today and it's maHOOOsive - supposed to be for a 3-4 year-old but I don't think it will fit DD properly until she's 5 or 6 - seriously, I could almost fit in it! Cost me £30 too. Hmm I'm understandably reluctant to order another one from them given the odd sizing.

Does anyone know where I can get one for 2-3-4 years? Or should I buy some material and beg MIL to make one? It doesn't have to have poppers up the legs, a zip down the front is fine.

I don't know why this is so important to me, but I'll blame the pregnancy hormones.

Hi, don't know if your interested in 2nd hand ones, but I am about to ebay a couple of fleece ones that were my DD's.
Send me a msg & I will dig them out.

Lots on Ebay if you don't mind second-hand...I used to buy them from Primark for my DS when he was 3.

Actually I dug arund a bit, and lots of the ones on that page are new :)

Mothercare, Sainsbury's both do fleece walk in sleepsuits for older kids - thought they are getting out of season now.

It is probably the hormones - I was infactuated with storage boxes!

I have always wrapped my little ones up in a cosy towelling dressing gown at the showers to keep them warm, got myself ready, and then dressed my little ones in their clothes. Might be a more longer term practical option! And I have 2 under 5s to dress Grin

Thanks folks, will have a look at the ones you've suggested.

TBH, it's not really a sleepsuit I'm after, really want a towelling swim/beach cover-up (exactly like the Boden one, but bigger!).
