I’m keen to read more about the scientific studies. Where are they?

Sure thing! Here are some key studies that explore the benefits of minimal disturbance during diaper changes and the impact of temperature on baby sleep:

Minimising Disturbance During Diaper Changes:

  • Silveira et al. (2021) : This study highlights how gentle diaper changes can reduce stress and crying in infants.
  • Lukowski et al. (2015): Explores how diaper changes with minimal disruption can lead to better sleep patterns for babies.

Impact of Temperature on Baby Sleep:

  • Okamoto-Mizuno & Mizuno (2021): Discusses how thermal environments affect sleep quality and circadian rhythms.
  • Parmeggiani (2021): Examines the interaction between sleep and thermoregulation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a stable temperature.

These studies provide insights into how thoughtful nappy changing practices and maintaining a warm environment can enhance your baby's comfort and well-being. If you have more questions or need further information, feel free to reach out!

Is the Convertible safe for my baby?

We've designed our Convertible onesie with baby's comfort and safety as our top priority, even before convenience.

Our onesie has a special zipper placed where the nappy is and with internal seams to avoid touching your baby’s skin. On top of this, we’ve ensured the zipper’s lining is not sharp. These measures all ensure safe and easy nappy changes. Made from premium GOTS certified organic cotton, it’s hypoallergenic and uses OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified dyes. Your baby’s skin stays protected from harmful substances.

Can the Convertible be used with nappy pants instead of nappies?

Absolutely can! Think of the Convertible's legs as socks. Just unzip the legs, slide on a fresh set of nappy pants, and you’re all set.

Did those Velcro pieces have anything covering the scratchy piece? Or are they against the baby's skin?

We use premium Velcro strips that are soft to the touch. The soft side of the Velcro that touches the baby's skin won't scratch or irritate.

The other side of the Velcro (the male side) is much smaller and faces away from the baby's skin, so there's no risk of it coming into contact. We prioritise safety and comfort in our designs.

What makes the Convertible onesie unique?

Imagine a nappy change without the fuss. Our Convertible onesie’s special zipper lets you do it quickly without undressing your baby. The Convertible’s legs stay on, keeping your little one warm and happy every time and less likely to resist/cry.

How do I use it during changes?

Make changing time a breeze with these 4 simple steps:

1. Unzip: Gently unzip the Convertible’s legs and pull them down slightly to access the nappy area.

2. Secure: Use the Velcro tab to snugly secure the Convertible’s legs around your baby’s legs, keeping them in place and zipper on legs aligned for when you need to zip up.

3. Change: Swap out the nappy quickly and easily.

4. Zip Up: Zip the legs back up, and you’re all set!

Why is the Convertible easier for nappy changes compared to traditional onesies, such as 2-way zippy suits?

At first glance, many parents who haven't yet tried our Convertible onesie might find it more effort than traditional onesies, like 2-way zippy suits, because it requires detaching and reattaching the leg pieces. However, we’re excited to share the innovative advantages of our design that could truly transform your parenting experience.

Unlike the rest, our Convertible features a unique zipper system that allows you to change nappies without removing baby’s legs from the onesie, thus avoiding exposure of their bottom half. This minimises disturbances and temperature changes for the baby. Independent studies on less disruptive nappy changes and temperature control confirm:

1. Lower chances of the baby resisting or crying during nappy changes.

2. Reduced likelihood of sleep disruption, helping the baby sleep better (And you too!).

Both of these benefits make life easier for parents who are concerned about the effort involved in nappy changes and their also baby’s wellbeing.

For a longer more detailed answer, read on:

While it might seem straightforward to slip the baby's bottom half out with 2-way zippy suits, this often requires bending their legs to get them out, which disturbs them. Also exposure of baby’s bottom half can lead to sudden temperature changes, causing discomfort and resistance during nappy changes. At night, this makes it harder for them to settle back to sleep. As your baby grows and becomes more active, their resistance due to being not comfy increases, making changes even more challenging for parents.

Our Convertible onesie is crafted with your baby's comfort and your convenience in mind. Featuring a patent-pending zipper system, it allows you to change a nappy without removing the baby's legs or shoes, minimising disturbances and temperature changes. This makes the experience smoother and less stressful for both you and your little one. For more detailed information, check out our FAQ, where we link to independent studies supporting these benefits.

Additionally, our Convertible onesie is equipped with premium YKK zippers, renowned for their smooth operation and reliability. They stay aligned during changes, making it easy to zip back up even in low light or the dark. We've tested it with over 20 infants and toddlers, and both babies and parents have appreciated the convenience.

We hope this gives you a better understanding of the unique advantages our Convertible offers. We're here to support you every step of the way, and we’d love for you to try it out and experience the benefits firsthand for you and your baby. ❤️

How does the Convertible support better sleep for babies?

Our onesie’s special design causes less disturbance during nappy changes, helping your baby cry less and get back to sleep faster. The science shows that gentle changes make babies feel secure and sleep better. We know how important a good night’s sleep is for both you and your baby, and our design helps achieve that.

What are the chances of the leg sleeves on the Convertible onesies getting lost?

The good news is that this is unlikely. The leg sleeves are larger and more substantial than socks and less likely to be lost. Also they can be attached together with the built in velcro to help keep them organised. Most of the time, you’ll find that the Convertible functions as a single piece, so you won’t need to detach the legs unless it’s necessary.

How easy is it to use the zippers on the Convertible onesie in low light or at night?

We understand that dealing with zippers at night can be a concern.

However, our Convertible onesie features high-quality YKK zippers, known for their smooth operation and reliability. They’re designed to stay aligned, making it easy to zip up in low light or even in the dark.

We've had over 20 parents test our product, and they found that after the first couple of uses, the zipping process becomes second nature.

And is it comfortable for my baby?

Yes, our special EasyGlide zipper system allows quick, gentle nappy changes without undressing your baby, needing to remove their legs and exposing them to cold. This keeps your baby comfortable and reduces fussiness. Research shows that a warm, stable environment helps babies sleep better and feel secure.

The zipper system ensures your baby’s comfort at all times, without restriction. For example, the zipper system ensures the zipper heads rest over the nappy area, keeping them safely away from your baby’s skin. Made from premium organic cotton, our onesies provide exceptional warmth and breathability, perfect for sensitive baby skin.

How does the 2-in-1 sleep and play design work?

The onesie can quickly change from a cozy sleep outfit to a fun long-sleeve bodysuit. This gives you two styles for the price of one and makes things more convenient.
