Getting bedtime sorted
Every parent knows the nightly negotiation. A onesie skips most of it, because kids stop thinking of it as pyjamas and start thinking of it as a costume, which is the whole trick.
It's also practical in an Australian house. Most of us don't have heating that reaches the kids' rooms, and a onesie covers ankles to neck in one piece, so there's nothing to kick off at 2am and no gap at the waist. Come morning it's still on, which saves a round of arguing about getting dressed.
What a kigurumi actually is
Kigurumi is the Japanese word for these, from kiru (to wear) and nuigurumi (stuffed toy). It's the hooded animal style with ears, a face and usually a tail, as opposed to a plain one-piece. Every onesie in this collection is a kigurumi, which is why they work just as well for Book Week and dress-up days as they do for sleeping.
Sizing for kids
Kids onesies are sized by height in centimetres, not by age. Measure your child rather than guessing from their clothing size.

Size 100 fits most three and four year olds, so these work for toddlers as well as school-age kids. If your child is between sizes or mid-growth-spurt, go up, a loose onesie is fine, a short one gets rejected. Full instructions are in the size guide.
Most designs also come in an adult version, so you can match for Christmas morning or a family photo. See the adult onesie range.
FAQs
What size kids onesie should I buy?

Will this fit a toddler?
Size 100 suits most three to four year olds at around 95–105cm. Measure first, heights vary a lot at that age.
What's a kigurumi?
The Japanese name for a hooded animal onesie, from kiru (to wear) and nuigurumi (stuffed toy). All our kids onesies are this style.
Are they warm enough for winter?
Yes, full ankle-to-neck coverage with no gap at the waist, which is the main reason they beat two-piece pyjamas on cold nights.
Can kids wear them as a costume?
That's half the appeal. They're a popular no-sewing option for Book Week, dress-up days and pyjama days at school.
Do you have matching adult sizes?
Most designs come in both, so you can match across the family.

Cold gentle cycle, inside out, hung to dry in the shade. Skip the dryer and don't iron the hood or ears.
