I also hate any baby clothes that use proper buttons instead of poppers. Such a pain in the arse trying to do them up when the kid is all over the place! Even better if the poppers have some kind of colour code so you know which goes where, some baby grows were a nightmare for this as they folded in a weird way.

Poppers, huh? I call them snaps.

Snaps, huh? I call them alligators.

Where's the fun in that?!

In the US we call those snaps. Both onomatopoeic! And yes they're the best for wiggly babies. Plus very satisfying to RIP the whole front open when you have to do a fast diaper change.

Snaps are ok, but zippers are my personal preference. Bonus points if I can unzip the entire outfit when it inevitably gets soiled with some bodily fluid or solid.
