Baby Long Sleeved Top With Poppers (NOT vests)

28 replies

Dazedandconfused170 · 03/02/2022 08:22

Hi,

Bit of a random one but anyone know where I can find long sleeved tops for babies with poppers that go OVER vests not under clothes
I can only seem to find vests

I have a couple that were bought as gifts but they always came as a set I.e with dungarees or something like that

They’re thicker than vests and most often ribbed, any ideas?

Thanks in advance Smile

My children are older now but I always used to get these in h&m.

I'm a bit confused. Where are the poppers?

@JustWonderingIfYou

I'm a bit confused. Where are the poppers?
They pop underneath their bottom. I just prefer these because tops/jumpers always rise up but the poppers keep it in place

Long sleeve vests or bodysuits are your Google names OP

I used to get them from H&M, m&S, Gap (online only now?) John Lewis and sometimes Primark.

Aren't these just long sleeved vests?

I don’t understand what the difference would be from a vest?

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 03/02/2022 10:04

Loads come up if you Google “long sleeved baby vest”, unless I’m missing something here.

Lindex do really nice ribbed long sleeve vests

Sunshinegirl82 · 03/02/2022 10:15

Jojo Maman Bebe have quite a few of these although they are not cheap.

TheCanyon · 03/02/2022 10:22

H&M

JustWonderingIfYou · 03/02/2022 12:52

They are just vests then Confused

You just want some thick, ribbed vests.

Newbie had some last winter. I got a cute 3 pack from sainsburys recently- ribbed with 3 little buttons down the chest.

JustWonderingIfYou · 03/02/2022 12:53

FYI- Don't put 2 vests on, that'll be way to bulky on the crotch of a small baby. They are just long sleeved vests, they don't go over short sleeved vests.

NuffSaidSam · 03/02/2022 12:59

Is it the top that's different? Like you want a collar or higher neck and not the envelope opening of a vest? So it's a top not a vest?

Dazedandconfused170 · 03/02/2022 14:27

Maybe they are just vests then!Grin
The couple I have just were thicker and not tight to the body like regular long sleeved vests, they also have a motif on the front so don’t look as if they should go under anything but to be worn on top

I’ll have to get a pic of one cause now I feel like I’ve gone mad and they are just regular vests after allConfused

So the one with animals on is the style I’m after, it’s thicker and not tight to their body so I put a short sleeve vest underneath that. It’s also got frills on the shoulder so I wouldn’t expect that to go under anything like a normal vest would

The other pic is just a regular long sleeved vest it’s a lot thinner and I put that under a top/jumper

Hope this makes sense lol. Maybe the animal one is just a one off!

I totally know what you mean OP. They usually come part of a set, under dungarees for example. I couldn't find them either so thicker vests are your best bet.

noenergy · 03/02/2022 14:38

I used to get them in next, shirt style with poppers at the bottom

Yes I think the couple I have were part of a dungaree/pinafore set to be honest.

I just find them really handy because jumpers just ride up all the time!

They're just long-sleeved vests? I used to always use them instead of tops because they don't ride up and they kept nappies in place. No need for a vest underneath for an older baby/toddler, just add a jumper if chilly.

It is more difficult to find nice ones than short-sleeved but they're around - my favourites were usually John Lewis, M&S and Frugi.
