Rompers, Bodysuits, Sleepsuits, Onesies, Babygrows: What's the Difference?

We totally get that with all the different names bouncing around cute baby clothes—rompers, bodysuits, sleepsuits, onesies, and babygrows—it’s easy to feel a little lost. But don’t worry! We’re here to help you untangle this bundle of joy!

At the heart of it, they’re all basically the same thing: comfy one-piece outfits that snap or zip at the bottom. They usually cover the torso and legs with different sleeves and leg lengths.

But why so many names, you ask? Well, it kind of depends on where you are and who you’re talking to!

  • Rompers: Think sunny days and playful outfits! In the US and Canada, these are usually sleeveless or short-sleeved one-pieces with short legs.
  • Bodysuits: People in the UK and Australia often use this term for any one-piece that snaps at the bottom, sleeves or no sleeves.
  • Sleepsuits: Perfect for cosy nights, sleepsuits are typically long-sleeved and full-length and widely used in the UK and some parts of Europe.
  • Onesies: This is actually a brand name from Gerber that has become super popular. Now, people use it to describe any cute, one-piece baby outfit.
  • Babygrows: A UK term for a versatile one-piece that can be adjusted as your baby grows.

Dressing Your Little One for Any Occasion
