The Children's Rip-Resistant Bodysuit with Short Sleeves and Long Legs 2501 is a strong, durable adaptive garment designed for children who may pull, stretch, tear or repeatedly remove their clothing. With short sleeves and full-length legs, it provides secure body coverage while allowing greater freedom around the arms.
Made from a robust polyester and cotton blend, the bodysuit features strong stitching and internal seams that are fully reinforced with special tape to help withstand stretching, pulling and ripping. A strong back zip makes independent undressing more difficult and can also help restrict access to nappies, continence pads and garments worn underneath.
The bodysuit is available with a choice of two fastening options: a press-stud fastening with protective cover or a ring closure that can be used with a suitable lock. Please note that a lock is not supplied with the garment.
The garment is rip-resistant rather than rip-proof. It is designed to withstand pulling, stretching and ripping in most circumstances but is not intended to withstand persistent or extreme behaviour.
The expected lifespan of rip-resistant clothing can vary considerably depending on the individual, their behaviour and how the garment is cared for. As a general guide, garments may last approximately 3 to 12 months.
The garment is fitted with a strong, heavy-duty zip; however, excessive strain or pressure can damage any fastening. Correct sizing is particularly important. A garment that is too tight, especially across the chest or back, can place unnecessary strain on the zip and seams. It should fit securely while still allowing comfortable movement.
The zip should be fully closed before washing, as washing the garment with the zip open can place additional strain on the zip and zip head. Repeated or forceful pulling of the fastening may also cause damage.
If the wearer chews or bites clothing, uses sharp objects, or can gain access to and repeatedly pull at internal seams or fabric layers, this garment may not be suitable.
Please note: This item is made to order in the Netherlands and is therefore not returnable. Please double-check the size and fastening option carefully before ordering and contact Fledglings if any further information is needed.

The first time she wore the outfit I noticed the neck line was uncomfortable for her and meant she wouldn’t eat or drink because it was pushing against her neck. But after a few washes it seems to be better. But has taken a while for her to tolerate wearing all day. It is good she is unable to get into her nappy while wearing and so far is holding up and not ripped as previous denim outfits I have bought her have ripped within a couple of times of being worn.
I was disappointed that I was charged delivery on ordering 3 outfits as the cost of clothing for my daughter is very expensive in comparison to normal children her age. It would be nice if they could be made to look less like hospital overalls and have some designs on them to make them not look so clinical.
But it’s doing it’s job so far preventing escape and getting her hands into her nappy
Hello Nathalie,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and for sharing such detailed feedback.
We’re really pleased to hear that the outfit is holding up well and is effectively preventing access to the nappy, especially compared to previous clothing you’ve tried. It’s also helpful to know that after a few washes the comfort around the neckline has improved and that it is now more tolerable for your daughter to wear throughout the day.
We’re sorry to hear that the neckline felt uncomfortable initially and that delivery charges added to the overall cost, particularly as we understand how expensive specialist clothing can be. Your comments regarding design and appearance are also really appreciated and will be shared with our team for consideration when reviewing future product improvements.
In terms of pricing and delivery costs, we do work closely with our suppliers and are required to operate within their recommended retail pricing (RRPs) when supplying their products. As a not-for-profit organisation, we always try to keep any additional fees as low as possible, while ensuring we remain financially sustainable so that we can continue supporting families and providing access to essential specialist products.
Thank you again for your honest feedback and for supporting our service.
Kind regards,
Sophie
