Pajama ideas--Sara's Prints comparable?

[laurajaney]

I am constantly struggling to find PJs to fit my 31lb. 2 y.o. son. In clothing, he generally wears a 3T on top & 2T on bottom. I know most PJs are supposed to be snug-fitting for safety, but even when I go up a size or 2, they just seem to get longer not wider.

One of the only things I have found -- and I love! -- that fit nicely (and are SO soft) are the Sara's Prints PJs. (We've been fortunate to get some hand-me-downs, albeit well-worn ones.)

But the thought of spending $35 on a pair of PJs, especially when I need multiple pairs, just kind of kills me....

Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!!

Keep an eye out for Sara's Prints at Marshalls - much, much cheaper. Skivvydoodles are another terrific brand that I have seen online and at Marshalls and they are terrific - soft, flame-retardent cotton that are very high quality - definitely order at least one-two sizes bigger. If you have a So Fun Kids outlet near you, there pj's are wonderful, too - also buy a size up. HTH!!!

Thanks, Lauren! Marshalls is a great idea. I've never heard of So Fun Kids. Do they have a catalogue/website or is it outlet only?

You may also want to try TJ Maxx. I just saw the short sleeve/shorts version at our's. If you are interested in them I will go back and pick them up.

HTH!

They do have a website and I think you can order from the site, but I never have. I am just guessing that there are better deals at the outlet. When I went in February, there jammies, which retail for $28 but are normally $20 at the outlet, were on winter clearance for $8. The quality is terrific and the cotton is very soft. Where do you live??? They have outlets across the country, I think. HTH!!!

Carrie,

That's so nice of you!

I never had any shorts jammies for him because in the summer we usually have the A/C on so it's pretty cool in the house. On warmer spring nights (when we aren't running the A/C), I just let him sleep in a onesie. It's just occuring to me now that I may have to rethink that -- he may be getting a little big for onesies. Do you recall how much are the shorts jammies are at TJ Maxx? I see them on ebay starting at $10.

Thanks!

Hi, Lauren,

We're in the Chicago area. I guess it's possible that there are outlets near me. It's been ages since I've been outlet shopping. (Like DH, DS is not very tolerant of shopping!!) I'll have to check. I went to Marshalls today. No luck finding any Sara's Prints (but I nevertheless picked up a few s/s tops for DS). Stupid question: Are the Sara's Prints jammies on hangers or are they packaged in plastic and on wall displays or in bins?

Thanks!
Laura

At my Marshalls they are on hangers. Good luck on your quest!

You can get some cheaper $15-20 from www.campmor.com. It's a camping/sports site so it's probably one you haven't tried. They offer good service and prices for kids' clothes and coats. Type Sara's Prints in the site search box since they are grouped in several catgories under kids' clothes (pjs and shorts and long underwear).

Laura-

I believe I have seen these in the past in the sale section on the One Step Ahead website.
