Only because the zippers curl, I'm always afraid I'm going to catch her skin in the zipper somehow and also, I don't like the zipper by her face! </p> <p>I have an Idea!!!<br /> Why don't they make zipper sleepers like sleep sacks where it zips from the bottom?!! Duh! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-439514 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:37:34 +0000 littlek 439514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the snaps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-439490 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 21:16:30 +0000 lavender 439490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I much prefer snaps then zippers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-439437 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 20:14:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 439437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I love both! snaps are easier to change her without waking her, I agree with the PP that commented on having to get their leg out of the pajamas with zippers. zippers are easier to finish the whole job, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-439082 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:41:01 +0000 emahlee 439082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer snaps. It's harder to get my wriggling son's leg into the non zipper side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-439044 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:17:31 +0000 loveisstrange 439044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love snaps because then I only have to unsnap the bottom. C's in 12m sleepers now because she's so tall, so most are zip now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-439031 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:10:55 +0000 Bao 439031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HATE snaps....I never realized it before she was born (obviously) so I just bought what was cute, now if it doesn't have a zipper I don't buy it! She does have some with snaps she wears because she has them and I want to get use out of them, but boy at 4:30am when her diaper is soaked and I have no choice but to change her, it's a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-438967 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 10:14:19 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 438967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate the zippers when they're wiggly because my girls would just stiffen their legs and I'd be afraid of injuring them by forcing the leg into the non zipper side.</p> <p>And that's why they move to real pj's at 1T in my house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-438950 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 09:56:54 +0000 eeh 438950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snaps are by far the dumbest baby related thing I've experienced. We have a whole drawer of snap sleepers that I refuse to use. I've found that The Children's Place has sleepers with zippers so that's usually where I buy ours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-438946 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 09:54:48 +0000 mynoahbear 438946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like the snaps better because its easier to change her diaper at night without waking her up. With the zipper, you have to pull her leg out from the nonzipper side and that always wakes her up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-438896 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:58:58 +0000 cvbee 438896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We only had snap ones for the longest time and when someone got us our first zip we thought it was some kind of genius invention. Like, wow, look how easy this is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-438878 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:39:53 +0000 mediagirl 438878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee I thought of you last night after M's first wake-up. She was wet so I had to change her and all I had were snap sleepers. She was sleepy and kept rolling over, I was struggling because it was dark in the room. Gah! A zipper would have made that process so much faster! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-435144 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:10:16 +0000 pinkcupcake 435144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pink Champagne: haha I totally know what you are talking about :)</p> <p>I can't stand snaps, especially during cranky middle of the night diaper changes. Right now I'm loving Kirkland's organic cotton zipper sleepers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-435137 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:07:53 +0000 Pink Champagne 435137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the ease of zippers, but I hate it when the sleeper is just a little big and bunches up. I call it a "zipper boner" (yes I have the maturity of a 12 year old..!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-435058 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:40:10 +0000 plaidpants 435058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like snaps! I find it's easier to do a diaper change at night with snaps because I don't have to mess around with a zipper near her face. She's more likely to stay asleep(ish). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-435051 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:37:29 +0000 lemondrop 435051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear ya, I hate snaps! They are very hard to work with when the baby has cha-cha legs that won't quit ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434929 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:58:43 +0000 prettylizy 434929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm torn, zippers are much easier to deal with, but snaps are better for diaper changes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434924 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:58:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 434924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know!! I don't think they were designed by mothers because everyone knows how ANNOYING they are to snap... especially on a squirmy, tired and frustrated baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434914 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:55:03 +0000 LemonLong 434914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the snaps, the zippered ones ride up and make a huge bump in front of my LO's fce if the sleeper is even a little too big. Snaps are so much more forgiving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434886 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:43:38 +0000 Mrs. Pen 434886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I think the same happens to zippers- they kind of bunch or curve in weird places! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434885 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:42:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 434885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like them!! I think they're cuter, and as long as I give lo a toy to play with its not that big of a hassle to snap them on. </p> <p>I actually don't like zippers potentially poking him, I'm paranoid about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434883 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:42:29 +0000 Mrsbells 434883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer the snaps, I can just unsnap thebottom when I want to change her diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434876 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:40:11 +0000 Springtime 434876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the snaps! Because I can just unsnap the bottom for diaper changes and because the top of the sleeper will bulk up where the zipper is and rubs LO's face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434873 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:39:42 +0000 winniebee 434873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Hm, see he always wears a onesie underneath so I don't worry about exposing him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434868 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:37:59 +0000 MamaMoose 434868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of like that with the snaps I don't have to totally expose her body her change a diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434816 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:12:47 +0000 winniebee 434816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: Your long lady! Tyler is just about ready to go to 9 months (lengthwise). He's got no chubb! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434807 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:10:30 +0000 SugarplumsMom 434807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also prefer the snaps. Zip ones always tend to bulk up on LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434791 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 14:05:30 +0000 bpcmarj 434791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: @mediagirl: She's wearing 12m bow, and in Carters, they all seem to be zip up, thankfully! They are only the fleece ones though.</p> <p>I much prefer zip, also because there are gaps between the snaps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434748 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:45:12 +0000 winniebee 434748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I was just on Carters website looking for 9 month sleepers (we only have 1 so far) and they are all snaps, except 2. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-do-they-make-sleepers-with-snaps#post-434744 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:44:11 +0000 winniebee 434744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES I can't snap them correctly especially since my son (6.5 months) flips and twists and kicks like crazy during diaper changes..... </p>
