Everyone with a baby knows it: before you know it, you can barely get the snaps at the bottom of the romper to close and it seems time for new rompers. But wait a while before you run to the (second-hand) shop! We have a super handy hack<\/em>: a romper extender that makes rompers fit a lot longer. In this article, we tell you all about romper extenders and how to easily make one yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What is a romper extender?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A romper extender is best known among parents who use washable nappies. A shame, because romper extenders come in handy even if you don't use washable nappies. What is it exactly? The name says it all: a romper extender extends the romper. It is a small piece of fabric with snaps at both ends, which you attach between the snaps at the bottom of the romper. This way, the bodysuit fits longer and you don't have to buy new bodysuits as often. So it's very sustainable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where can you find romper extenders?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can buy ready-made romper extenders buy<\/a>, but you can just as easily make them yourself from old rompers. So don't throw away the onesie that is too small and has holes or stains - the press-studs at the bottom may come in handy. Note that not all snaps are the same size. Most snaps on bodysuits are 5 mm, 7 mm or 9 mm. If you have bodysuits of different brands, chances are you will need several bodysuit extenders. Fortunately, you can make your own in no time with our handy step-by-step plan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
