Bonds Wondercool Zip Romper
The short-sleeve, short-leg version of the Zippy, in a lighter fabric for hot Australian summers.

- Sea Breeze Boho Pink
We researched what to put a baby in when it is genuinely hot, and the short Bonds zip romper is the summer version of our everyday Zippy pick. It keeps the two-way zip for quick nappy changes but cuts the arms and legs short, and the Wondercool fabric is a lighter, more breathable jersey. On a warm night it can be the only layer under a light sleeping bag. The trade-offs: legs and arms are bare, so you still need sun protection outdoors, prints vary in sizing like the long version, and it is no use in winter. Two or three in the next size up covers most summers.
