Does anyone else cringe whenever this ad comes on? I do because I think the darn zip is going to catch some flesh, they pull it up so fast I think for sure some baby is going to get caught in it painfully.

Seriously, I can't watch this ad! ffear.gif

is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?
I haven't seen the ad, but there's no way I'd buy a zip wondersuit. Way too much potential for pain

I haven't seen the ad, but he concept doesn't appeal to me, that may be because I 'zipped' dd1 while putting her into her swim suit with not very nice results

i have one- and its great MR 2 cant undo the zip, on the other hand he will undo his regular wondersuit by 'ripping open' the snaps and then walks around the house with it open down to his navel! obviously when take care when zipping- but have never had an accident

Do you have a link to it? I loved the one zipsuit I had for DS2 until he got too big for it, I wish they had been around when he was smaller, I would have bought more.

me too! I accidently started a passive aggressive fight on my FB about it. I do not think it is a good idea for me to buy them as I have enough trouble not catching my own flesh in a zipper, the poor baby will have zipper scars all up it's poor tummy!. However some of my friends thought it was awesome and others agreed and some of the comments got a bit heated. I was too scared to go back to it lol! It was interesting the ones who had been there before were like "bad idea" the ones that were just mothers to young ones now were like "awesome" perhaps if I didn't have my history with zips and the inability to not bust them on my skin, singlets, jean legs/tights/leggins (I now know longer buy botos with zips) I may think differently.

My favorite all in ones were always the zipper ones.

Never ever caught their skin?

I love the ad - all those cute babies make me stupidly clucky laughing2.gif

I also love the suits for DS, they're much easier than fiddling with snaps. I find them pretty easy to hold away from his body so that his skin is nowhere near the zipper
