I was thinking about this last night. Doing a million snaps in the middle of the night while I was going cross eyed. They're nice to keep her top half warm while I change her diaper, but kind of a pain otherwise.
Zippers are super fast and efficient 
Which do you prefer on a sleeper?

Zippers! I hate dealing with snaps, it never fails that in the middle of the night I would get off and it would be all sorts of messed up!

I hate the ones that only open up on one leg, and have only found snaps that open on both so I guess snaps!

We used to like snaps when they were little so we could just undo the bottom half in the middle of the night. Now they try to escape the changing table whenever they get up there by twisty, flailing, kicking. Zippers are the only way we can manage fast enough changes.

DS was a Nov baby and we're in cold weather so I preferred the snaps when he was a newborn that first season. Outside of that, zippers all the way!

Zippers! Especially now at almost 11 months. He is soo wiggly and will not sit still for snaps

Now that she's bigger zippers!! But when she was little and swaddled, snaps so that we could change the diaper faster/without taking everything off

I actually liked snaps when he was small--he'd sleep through diaper changes! Once that became impossible, then I preferred zippers.

Snaps for the first three months and zippers after.
I hate exposing their chests for motn changes when they're so little. Especially because both my girls are winter babies.

Target's Circo brand has pajamas that zip from the bottom! Genius.

Always zippers! My favorite are a few sleepers we got from target though that zip from the foot to neck. So you can just unzip half way and pop their legs out.

Zippers, even when a newborn. They had onesies on underneath, so no biggie in the middle of the night, even though it was November.

Snaps up until the point they start trying to roll away or sit up during diaper changes just because I think they tend to be cuter. 
Than zippers after that!

Zippers. I always had to redo snaps. I really lid the Circo zip from the bottom sleepers. They are thin and the zipper bunches a little bit but it made changes super easy.

Snaps! I always struggle with her to get her one foot into the zippered PJ's.

We have both and I think I preferred snaps. I liked keeping her top half warm and I always just unsnapped a few of the crotch snaps and slip her legs out; therefore, I never had trouble resnapping the 3 crotch snaps!

Zippers! My daughter is a kicker and busts out of those snaps so fast.

Zippers!! I don't know why they still make snaps! I always button them wrong and I can't figure out which one I messed up on! Or it's so annoying when LO is already screaming/crying for whatever reasons and I have to work on these darn snaps!

I don't care either way but preferred snaps when she was a newborn so I didn't have to expose her chest (winter baby). I had a couple of the Circo bottom-zip sleepers but the zipper bunched near the neck and rubbed on her chin, so I didn't really like them. DH strongly prefers zippers.

@mamasig: This! Cuteness always sways my clothing rules.
Definitely zippers after 6 months old, either worked when they were younger since I had summer babes and wasn't too worried about stripping them to change them.

Snaps until she was mobile. I always worried about zippers bunching up under her neck.

Zippers!! We have one with snaps between each leg (all the way down), and up the chest. They are horrible. Horrible. I find that Target has the best zipper jammies!

Oh I got soooooo sick of snaps! The thing I hated/still sort of hate about zippers is getting that leg on the opposite side of the zipper out of the sleeper. But I'll take that over a million snaps any day!

This is why I hate sleepers! I dont like either option. Long sleeve onesies or kimono shirts in a swaddle ftw. But definitely zippers over snaps...

Definitely snaps! I could keep her in smaller sizes longer by not snapping the legs. More flexibility with snaps.
