When should toddlers stop wearing vests?

[kimberleyrobx]

So i went into a couple of shops while we were out seeing santa today to see how much we'd be spending on popper vests next week for emily, and there was barely anything! millions of newborn, 0-3 up to 12-18 months but i couldnt find any 18-24! i eventually spotted a couple of packs of 3 at the very bottom, at the very back! so like the title says, when do they stop wearing vests?

As a rule of thumb I'd think toddler vests become cumbersome once potty training begins. (we're not there yet) We got some 2-3 vests from Tesco. She's still in them now but we do have big girl vests too.

I don't ever want my LO to stop wearing them But I agree potty training was when I stopped using them with my oldest and will be with my youngest, though my oldest never needed more than 18-24 months even at 3, my youngest is already in 12-18 and 18-24 so will need to hunt for some 2-3 ones soon and he's only 18 months x

I still put vests on my kids and they are 3 and 4! Not all the time and they obviously aren't the ones with the poppers x

Holly still wears popper vests in age 2-3. That's the biggest I can find, but I think she will outgrow them before she's potty trained. I like her wearing them because I'd rather see another layer of clothing than a nappy

I actually found them brilliant with toilet training.... I would unpop the vest and then pop up over their shoulder, so it would keep their upper clothes out of the way!!

I've only ever seen 2-3yr popper vests in tesco xx

If vests are undershirt onesies my DS still wears them, I've only found up to 24 months which he is in. And I only put them on in the winter. He should be potty trained by next winter so I'm sure I won't use them then.

Potty training. But she wears 'big girls vests' now. Need them in the autumn / winter!

My boys wear vests? I didnt know you had to stop these things. Not the popper ones the normal vests they have had on for ages. Keeps them warm under the t shirt.

Millicent still wears popper vests but will stop when she's potty trained, plus she's out growing her 2-3 But already got her some non popper normal vests just for another layer of clothing.

I only stopped when it hit summer this year and it was too warm. Then he started potty training. He was 2 and a half but stll fitted into his 18-24 month ones. He wears the sleeveless normal vests now.

The boys are in 'big boy' vests this year for the first year. Fynn is 'just' out of nappies Sam not yet. I got loads of 2-3 poppers last year mothercare,Tesco, asda they tend not to stock them on store but do them online xxx

M&s do 2-3 as well

M&s do 2-3 as well

Yes I was going to say this too.
Owen came out of popper vests this year cos he passed 2-3 size and so he wears big boy vests now,which are a pain cos his nappy sags when hes not even wet when there isn't a vest to hold it up!

 

[hattiehippo]

Tom wears normal vests now - the only time he doesn't is when it's really hot in the summer as he gets really cold otherwise.

He had the popper ones up to about Easter I think...not potty trained yet but past 2 it became a pain to do the poppers up when was standing up.

Tescos, M&S, Sainsburys etc all do 2-3 popper ones but you might have to order them online or hunt around for them.

I will be stopping when my son goes into 12-18 months want him to get used to not wanting them on

 

[lovehearts]

I put my son in 'big boy vests' when he was about 18 months. He outgrew 18-24 in asda and finding anything bigger was a nightmare! He didn't notice a difference. X

 

[Loozle]

I was going to say that my 7 year old still wears vests until I realised you meant the popper ones
My 14 month old is in 6-9 month vests so until he's potty trained it will be the popper kind as I can't see him outgrowing the 2-3 ones until he's about 15

 

[Foogirl]

Tell you what's annoying though. You get long sleeved popper vests, but not long sleeved non popper vests. It's really difficult to find plain white long sleeved tops to put under all her t shirts

amy was out of popper vests in and around 2. have been using the normal "big girl" vests since then xx
