How to Swaddle, Diaper, and Lounge With Convertible Zippys
The Ultimate Guide to Khlobe’s Convertible Zippys
New parents often ask: how do convertible Zippy pajamas work? The answer is simple — they’re designed to make swaddling, diaper changes, and everyday lounging easier and more comfortable for babies and caregivers alike.
At Khlobe, our convertible Zippys combine thoughtful design with buttery-soft bamboo fabric, giving parents a one-piece solution for day-to-night comfort.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to swaddle, change diapers, and style your little one in Zippys, plus care tips, parent favorites, and practical advice for both newborns and toddlers.
What is a Convertible Zippy?
Convertible Zippys are a modern twist on the classic baby sleeper. Unlike traditional pajamas with snaps or buttons, Zippys feature two-way zippers, fold-over mittens, and convertible footies, making your baby’s outfit adaptable for any situation.
Why Parents Love Them
- Time-saving: Quick diaper changes, even at night.
- Comfort: Soft bamboo fabric is gentle on sensitive skin.
- Versatility: One piece works for swaddling, sleep, play, and outings.
The bamboo advantage: Bamboo fabric is naturally breathable, moisture-wicking, and hypoallergenic — perfect for delicate newborn skin. Unlike cotton, bamboo adapts to temperature, keeping babies cozy in winter and cool in summer.
Parent tip: New parents often spend hours fussing with snaps and buttons. Zippys eliminate this stress, allowing both baby and caregiver to get more rest.
Extra benefit: The soft bamboo also helps reduce irritation and skin redness, which is especially helpful for babies prone to eczema or sensitive skin conditions.

Two-Way Zippers Explained
A two-way zipper lets you zip from both the top and bottom. This means you don’t have to fully undress your baby for a quick diaper change — just unzip from the bottom, change the diaper, and zip back up.
Benefits of Two-Way Zippers
- Faster diaper changes at night without waking the baby.
- Keeps baby warm by avoiding full exposure.
- Smooth zipper lining protects delicate skin.
Pro tip: At 2 AM, simply unzip from the bottom and swap out the diaper — no extra layers disturbed, no unnecessary crying. Parents rave that this small feature saves hours of sleep over time.
Additional tip: Always zip slowly and gently to avoid catching the baby’s clothing or skin.
