I roll waists over sometime. Other times he just pulls them up all the time. When I find pants with elastic waists (for potty training) and the waist adjusters I buy a bunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1212034 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 18:52:44 +0000 sarac 1212034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same problem here, so my daughter wears exclusively leggings. She's filled out in the butt a little bit lately, but it can be really hard to find her pants that aren't too short when they fit in the waist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1211542 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 15:03:23 +0000 erinpye 1211542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We pretty much stick to leggings, although she's moving into some 3T pants and even the leggings in that size are big around the waist. I'm going to have to break out the sewing machine and start altering. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1211485 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:46:12 +0000 Alivoo01 1211485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Great idea!!

DS's belly keeps his pants up :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1211127 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 13:02:47 +0000 babynumber1 1211127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: We do a lot of leggings to prevent this. Jeans just do not fit her well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1211026 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:33:39 +0000 prettylizy 1211026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Our baby sitter taught us a trick for belt loop pants. A tiny cat collar from the dollar store, feed it through a few loops then tighten it and clip it, keeps her pants up! Best $1 ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1211019 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:31:00 +0000 purrpletulips 1211019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: We have the same thing for pants with belt loops, I tend to avoid those without belt loops if possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210921 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:09:10 +0000 mediagirl 1210921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My problem is (such a problem, I know...) most of her pants are hand-me-downs so I have to work with what I've got. :) </p> <p>@looch: that's interesting! I may look further into that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210913 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:06:26 +0000 looch 1210913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and for pants with belt loops, we have this contraption:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dapper-Snapper-Toddler-Adjustable-White/dp/B0039C6IXY" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Dapper-Snapper-Toddler-Adjustable-White/dp/B0039C6IXY</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210909 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:05:17 +0000 autumnlove 1210909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cloth diapers help but LO's pants fall off when she wears disposables so I just put her in high water pants. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210900 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:02:35 +0000 T-Mom 1210900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the same issue of a tiny waist. I was trying to buy 2T to just skip 18-24 month and it just wasn't working. I tried folding over the waistband but it looked uncomfortable. So I bought a few 18-24 month pants and the one that fit the best (from ON), I bought them in every color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210894 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:01:21 +0000 HLK208 1210894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know some of Old Navy's pants have the elastic but otherwise, I have no idea!</p> <p>It's even worse when they wear undies instead of diapers. B needs suspenders at 4 years old. I had to take in a few of his pants. Also, in the future some brands carry slim fits which works best for my string bean haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210887 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 12:00:12 +0000 Dandelion 1210887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this problem with DS at that age. I found pants at Kohl's with adjustable waist bands. He also wore a belt a lot of days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210885 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:59:44 +0000 MrsBrewer 1210885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you safety pin them?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210883 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:59:31 +0000 looch 1210883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to sew in another piece of elastic in the Old Navy brand pants we have, but the Gymboree brand in the same size fit just fine, go figure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-keep-your-kids-pants-up#post-1210880 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 11:58:33 +0000 mediagirl 1210880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M needs to move into 18-24 month and 24 or 2T month pants. Her 18 month and 12-18mo pants have become high waters.</p> <p>Problem - they fall right off of her! Some of the pants don't have that fancy elastic in them that tightens them for you. How do I keep them from falling off of her tushie? </p>
