    I'm visiting from the 2nd year forum in hopes that some parents here have clothes suggestions for my off-the-chart big head DS. My boys are currently wearing 2T and every morning is a struggle to get the new tees over one DS's head. We're planning on staying with one-piece zip-up sleepers for as long as we can for that very reason. Anyone here have recommendations for a brand that has a wide or stretchy neck? I searched online and found one (expensive) brand that has those 'lap shoulder' shirts in toddler size, but would rather not spend $20 on each shirt (!)

    Is 'jumping beans' or something like that their store brand? I bought some long-sleeved shirts from them recently but haven't tried them on yet. Thanks for the suggestion!

    No advice, but I'm looking forward to the answers you get. My DS's head is off the charts, too :) I use alot of button down shirts, like toddler polo shirts (DH loves them so he gets them) and otherwise just stretch the heck out of the necks of t shirts before I put them on him. I do get Kohls stuff, but the cotton shirts tend to shrink when I dry them. Their pants last (not that you asked about that - just something I love about kohls!), but not the shirts. GL!

    My son mostly has button up shirts and polos with a couple of buttons. Sorry can't help, but at least there are alternatives to t-shirts which I don't like as much anyway. The others are cuter:)

    They are really cute, I agree! I just adore my boys in their polos. I'm going to have to get more. They're just usually more expensive. :(

    I just got a bunch of T-shirts of the brand 'Rabbit Skins' ($3 each on sale from the Texas Shirt company through Amazon!) and they've got a pretty stretchy neck. No problems, other than the usual squirming, putting it over my big boy's head this morning.

    For those with big head toddlers - I just got my 18-month-old a hat he can wear with his 22" head. It's from my favorite hat place, Village Hat Shop, and he loves it. It's a Henschel Bucket Canvas Hat, size large.

    The only thing I can think of are the shirts that have buttons on the back. Maybe investing in some cute buttond downs and then buying some carters white shirts--they have the ones with the bigger necks. Good luck!

    Janie and Jack sells t-shirts (long and short sleeve) with buttons at the neck (along the shoulder). They are on the pricey side, but they also have good sales. I LOVE LOVE their reversible long sleeve t-shirts...two shirts in one!

    Polos are a great idea... I've found some cheap ones at Old Navy.
