Where can I buy vests that have poppers for a 3/4 year old?

Hi

Any idea where I could buy the vests that have poppers on? My son who is nearly two (size 3/4 clothes) really needs one. His new game of getting to his poo and spreading it everywhere before mum gets to him is causing a lot of frustration!

Any ideas for either problem would be appreciated.

    Not sure where you can get popper vests that big.

    Would a reusable nappy wrap work? Some of them have poppers on which would be hard for little hands to open.

    One of mine went through a phase of taking his nappy off, so I used to wrap a length of parcel tape round his waist to stop him :D
    Here I go again on my own....

    Tesco i think do 2-3 popper vests or you could possibly try the normal vest with pants ontop of the nappy, ive been using the pants and vest to try and get little man used to pants.

    Mothercare always did them. They don't have the bigger popper sizes out on display but I needed them for my DD up to the age of 5, for similar reasons, and was always able to get them there. You have to ask for them (and make sure you ask someone sensible who will go and look in the stockroom for you!)

    HtH. Otherwise if this is a nighttime thing only, I think some of the eczema sites do inaccessible all in one pyjamas.

    you can buy vest extenders that would make smaller vests last longer

    never seen them in real life, but found them online this week, scroll down a bit here...

    to be honest though I'd go for sellotape as per Becles suggestion :D it worked on dd3 when she started removing her nappies. In fact we had to stop using cloth nappies overnight as she could take them all off (including the popper wraps). A sellotaped disposible was Zoe proof though - we just had to cut her out of them in the morning!

    He's a very big lad and would need size 3/4 years.

  • Check on the rdk mobility website, rdkmobility.co.uk. They do both popper vests with cap sleeves and sleeveless.

    My daughter was/is big for her age, so I found all the usual aged popper vests didn't fit her (from the supermarkets and mothercare) the only ones I found that fit were from Matalan, the 18 mth/2 yr popper vests from there are MUCH bigger than average. They might even have a 2-3 age range there and if so they should fit a 3-4 yr old sized child.
