Which do you prefer? I wish more brands made the zip up ones in infant sizes, I definitely find them easier!

I prefer the zip but I find it easier getting his diaper on and off with snaps

@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.

Zip! Snap ones take too long to get on a screaming, flailing baby.

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!

i liked snaps for when he was smaller, and zip up now!
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.
but now, zippers all the way!! i can't imagine doing up so many snaps on such a long baby!

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.

@tysonja: I agree. Snaps were good at the itty bitty stage when she laid still. Now I like the quick zio

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.

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.

I love the zip up ones! We do have some snap ones though, and those are cute.

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.

I used to like snaps but the zipper is great now that LO is so active when we change him.

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!

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.

Snaps down BOTH legs!
Then I can just unsnap the few snaps at the legs and pull the sleeper up to easily change her & she doesn't end up almost totally undressed so she stays warmer.

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!

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~

I just bought a pack of circo ones from target. 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!
