How old is too old for onesies?

[kdubs923]

I probably wouldn't send her in just a onsie, but in a onsie & shorts. And let the teacher know if they think she's hot, she's free to take her shorts off to cool her off.

Would a romper be cooler? I have boy, but rompers were great last summer. This looks like it would be very cool. www.carters.com/carters-baby-girl-babyboom-onepiece/V_118A016.html?dwvar_V__118A016_color=Color&dwvar_V__118A016_size=3M#q=rompers&prefn1=brand&prefv1=carters&start=17

DS is a sweat box. He rocked just a onsie on Father's Day, but we were just at my ILs house. I probably wouldn't do that in public.

It's not fashion forward, but I think comfort trumps all for a 15m old. That said, I'm sure there are some who would judge you.

Is the fabric you're using a breathable cotton? Is it staying damp and maybe she needs to change at some point in the day? Have you tried a loose cotton skirt over a onesie?

[redwino]

I wouldn't worry about diaper changes in the rompers. The staff is used to it and likely doesn't see it as an inconvenience.

Have you tried skirts over a onesie? That would be loose and wouldn't rub her thighs.

Do you have any of the carters onesie dresses? I love those and rompers in the summer. They have the 3 snaps just like a onesie, but they're a little dressier.

I love these. I have to stop myself from buying them whenever I see them in the store.

[badtzmaru22]

I used to put DD in onesies with a little skirt over it to dress it up. Sometimes daycare would just pull it off by the end of the day anyway.

When it comes to daycare, I say put her in whatever you feel she'll be the most comfortable in.  It really shouldn't matter.  If you think that's a onesie, then go for it.

Thanks kdubs923. We have that romper and it's actually super super cute. I do send her in rompers a lot but I feel like they're a huge pain for diaper changes and I feel bad.

kershnic They are cotton shorts, but I actually never thought about changing them. I don't know why not, that's a novel idea lol.

Wait, do you have to pull the whole romper down for a diaper change? The boy rompers have snaps at the crotch like a onsie.

I had no idea. That is a huge pain!

Disclaimer no judgment on only a onesie but I think flowy dresses keep them coolest.

This. I kind of want to put DS in a dress right now.

DS is wearing some old rompers that were DD's and they snap at the crotch, too. I don't think this is specifically a boy thing, maybe a brand thing?

I'd second the romper/dresses from Carters - I got some for my niece and they're just adorable.

I'd think at 15 mos there shouldn't be any complaint re: snaps and diaper changes. I would assume that's still a frequent obstacle. I loved onesies for DS because shirts rode up so much on him until he thinned out a bit around 18 mos. In all honesty, I still kind of miss them

ETA: This is what I got for my niece, and bonus there's a Cora's Cuties series of headbands that match perfectly

DD has several rompers from Carter's, and they all have snaps at the crotch like a onesie. They're my favorite outfits for summer.

[londoncalling]

Rompers with snaps in the crotch or the Carter's onesie dresses were the staple for my girls in summer at that age. 3-4 snaps at the crotch is standard for daycare to be dealing with so I wouldn't worry too much about diaper changes.

[boxerdog]

This might not be a problem where you are, but we aren't allowed to send kids to daycare in just a onesie- the diaper has to be completely covered. It's a state law.

I love rompers.

[mellymel]

Little Me has the most adorable/comfortable onesie dresses, too! You can usually find them at Costco. Highly recommend!

[carolinagirl831]

I really don't think the two extra snaps on a romper are that much worse than a onesie. I do think 15 months is two old to wear onesie only. But who cares really??
I think dresses with a diaper cover are comfy

[SJ]

We love rompers! They snap at the crotch so no issue with diaper changes.

DD also wears a lot of dresses/leggings, dresses/diaper covers, tank tops/shorts, etc. in this weather. We are moving away from onesies. She is almost one year.

Although in full disclosure, yesterday I picked her up at DC and she was just wearing a onesie with shoes & socks. I laughed (was not upset), but put "real clothes" on her as soon as we got home.

[Yankees21]

I love rompers (for my boy, and also on girls). I would think they would be one of the cooler options, while still looking like an outfit.

[swank]

We love the carter's shortalls. They are basically a onesie with leg holes. They are The coolest for DS.

[aspentosh]

I loved rompers at that age.

That being said, I never (almost never?) judge kids clothes at that age. Comfort is really key.

[lolo]

How about linen shorts? J has a pair of those and they keep get significantly cooler.

[zarapipe]

I love the onesie dresses. Dd wore one today actually.

ON has some cheap rompers with crotch snaps. That's all my little hotbox is wearing right now too.

[MadamePresident]

I love rompers. It's usually just one extra snap.
