Not sure if I like them yet bc dd only just put the first one on but they zip top to bottom so her top stays covered during changes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-581444 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 23:47:08 +0000 mrsjyw 581444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>zip ups are def easier, but i've noticed during the cold MI months I preferred the snaps for nighttime dipe changes. Now that DS is sttn, I don't have a preference~ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-581441 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 23:42:26 +0000 loveisstrange 581441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snaps when theyre tiny so ou dont have to totally expose them for diaper changes and zips later on because they never sit still long enough to snap them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-581423 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 23:23:46 +0000 runsyellowlites 581423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snaps down BOTH legs! </p> <p>Then I can just unsnap the few snaps at the legs and pull the sleeper up to easily change her &amp; she doesn't end up almost totally undressed so she stays warmer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-581420 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 23:21:50 +0000 doodlepoodle 581420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked snaps when he was littler because I was worried about snagging his belly in the zipper, now that he's mobile? Zipper ALL the way. I can't EVER get the whole thing snapped before he crawls off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-581418 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 23:19:38 +0000 lemondrop 581418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snap ups are my nemesis, especially in the middle of the night! I don't care what cute patterns they tempt me with, I will never buy a snap up sleeper again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580688 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:50:07 +0000 allison 580688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted snaps bc I too hate how the zipper bunches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580680 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:47:05 +0000 littlek 580680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to like snaps but the zipper is great now that LO is so active when we change him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580623 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:31:37 +0000 2PeasinaPod 580623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm torn! I feel like the zipper ones are so much faster, but I hate how the zipper bunches towards the top. But snaps take forever when he's kicking up a storm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580620 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:30:49 +0000 Bao 580620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the zip up ones! We do have some snap ones though, and those are cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580591 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:22:23 +0000 mrskc 580591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either one. Zip ups are faster but i hate the bulge the cause. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580558 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 16:12:40 +0000 pelikila 580558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snaps because I didn't have to bend one leg way up to get it out of the leg without the zipper on it to change a diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580523 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:59:36 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 580523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like snaps because it's easier to keep the babe's top half covered up while I take care of the diaper needs. I know zippers are easier but I also feel like I pinch DS more now with zippers than I ever did as an infant and snaps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580520 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:58:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 580520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: I agree. Snaps were good at the itty bitty stage when she laid still. Now I like the quick zio </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580512 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:57:35 +0000 MsLipGloss 580512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite for the NB phase was a kimono t-shirt that snapped - so easy and no over the head on a noodle-y baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580450 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:42:11 +0000 tysonja 580450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i liked snaps for when he was smaller, and zip up now!</p> <p>i found it was less chilly to do diaper changes with snaps, as well as when he practically had no neck , i felt bad when the zipper irritated his chub. </p> <p>but now, zippers all the way!! :) i can't imagine doing up so many snaps on such a long baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580447 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:41:50 +0000 prettylizy 580447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When she was a newborn I didn't like the zip because I had to undo the whole thing to change her diaper and felt like that made her cold. Now I'm zipper all the way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580446 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:41:17 +0000 mediagirl 580446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zip! Snap ones take too long to get on a screaming, flailing baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580442 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:40:39 +0000 MsLipGloss 580442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Agree! The zip is a faster closure, for sure,, but the longer side/leg can be difficult to get LO's leg in and out of. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580433 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:39:17 +0000 lovehoneybee 580433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the zip but I find it easier getting his diaper on and off with snaps :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sleepers-zip-vs-snaps#post-580406 Wed, 20 Feb 2013 15:34:41 +0000 autumnlove 580406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zip!

I wish more brands made the zip up ones in infant sizes, I definitely find them easier! </p>
