Mums keep telling us Best&Less is where they stock up on baby basics, and for summer this short zip romper is the one we'd buy several of. It is 100% cotton knit with short sleeves and short legs, a front zip with a fabric guard under the chin, and it comes from tiny baby to size 3. Reviewers on the Best&Less site give it five stars and call it a fresh, summery outfit that is quick on and off for a nappy change on the go. The trade-offs: it is a single zip, not two-way, so night changes open from the top; the fabric is a plain cotton knit, not a cooling one like Bonds Wondercool; it has only a few reviews so far; and Best&Less online orders get mixed reviews, so click and collect is the safer route. If you buy through our link, we may earn a small commission.
