Bonds Zip Wondersuit (Zippy)
The Australian everyday suit: two-way zip, fold-over cuffs, newborn to size 3, easy to find on sale.
MamaLoop mums pickWe researched this — not used by usNot sponsored
If we could only buy one kind of baby clothing, it would be a zip suit, and the Bonds Zippy is the one most Australian parents already know. The two-way zip means you can open just the legs for a nappy change in the dark — that is our 3 am test, and snaps fail it. Fold-over mitts and feet on the smaller sizes save hunting for socks. The range covers cotton for most of the year plus warmer and cooler fabrics. The honest trade-offs: owners report fading and thinning after many washes, sizing varies between prints, and full price is steep — they go on sale often, so we would buy a few at a time and wait for the next sale for the next size.
