Also, carter's has a "slim" style one, and regular one. You wouldn't know unless you read one of their tags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414556 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 21:54:31 +0000 HappyBaker 2414556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: @MrsSRS: This makes so much sense now! We actually just tried a fleece pair he got for Christmas tonight and were surprised they were so much easier to zip. Unfortunately we also just got a ton of cotton ones that we can't return since I already washed them all. Lame! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414540 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 21:31:50 +0000 Apex 2414540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same issue too. Carters has some polyester 1 piece pj's and those are not so snug. Matter of fact they are absolutely perfect. Not too loose and not too snug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414513 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 21:12:49 +0000 MrsSRS 2414513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just about to type exactly what @Foodnerd81 said. All cotton jammies are required to be made form fitting. We like the Carter's fleece with a cotton onesie underneath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414263 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 16:53:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2414263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fleece ones are usually looser than cotton- is it cool enough for them? The cotton ones are meant to be tight fitting for fire safety (apparently once babies are mobile their parents can't be trusted to keep them from open flames while wearing pajamas?). But fleece is naturally flame resistant so doesn't have to be so tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414238 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 16:29:46 +0000 erinbaderin 2414238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found Gap sleepers were always enormous on my skinny baby, have you tried there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414215 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 16:09:12 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2414215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our Costco sells Pekkle brand sleepers and they are awesome! They aren't all zippered but lots are, and they fit our little guys chunky thighs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414190 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 15:47:15 +0000 snowjewelz 2414190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: they used to be on clearance so I had to get one... And then wish I got more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414188 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 15:44:57 +0000 MamaG 2414188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Children's Place - much prefer their pajamas for my chunky kiddos over Carters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414187 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 15:44:22 +0000 HappyBaker 2414187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I'll have to try those, it looks like they are super cheap too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414179 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 15:40:50 +0000 snowjewelz 2414179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently got Gerber blanket pj's at Target and they're much roomier! </p> <p>Otherwise we just kinda stuff DD into them and then move up asap... And wait till it's warmer so we can just wear 2-pc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414164 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 15:30:06 +0000 Adira 2414164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, this seems to be the style for PJs for 12+ months. I think it's because babies start walking around 12 months and they don't want anything to be too loose and cause tripping. Hopefully someone has another suggestion for you because I have the same issue and we primarily use Carter's too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/zipper-pjs-for-wider-babies#post-2414162 Fri, 08 Jan 2016 15:26:42 +0000 HappyBaker 2414162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have exclusively bought Carter's PJs in the past but they are SO slim now at 12 months it seems. We just moved from 9 months to 12 months and can barely zipper them. The problem area seems to be my DS's chunky legs.</p> <p>Any recommendations for PJs that aren't so slim? I'd hate to buy a bunch of different kinds and not have them work too! </p>
