The Magnet Mouse slogan is "Cuddles not Struggles" as the idea behind the clothing is to save those extra few minutes a day that you would spend fastening up those poppers and give you more bonding time with the baby.
We all know that babies need endless nappy changes through out the day and so when you add the minutes up you spend fastening the bodysuits and sleepsuits they really do add up. Then theres the night time changes, I bet you really can fasten these with your eyes closed.
Not to mention the fact that some babies (like Lily) like to try and make it as impossible as they can to fasten them by wriggling and rolling and eventually crawling or walking away.
The clothing goes up to age 9-12 months for the moment, but they are planning a toddler range.
Here is a video supplied by Magnet Mouse that shows how the clothing works.
Magnet Mouse kindly gave me a bodysuit to try out and review.
After telling people about the clothing, a few concerns were expressed.
Arn't the magnets going to be heavy and look bad?
The magnets aren't heavy at all, in fact you wouldn't even know they were there. They are enclosed nicely into the bodysuit.
Are the magnets safe?
Yes there are no known safety concerns linked to magnets. You can read more about what magnet mouse have to say about safety here.
Are they machine washable?
Yes at no more than 30OC and the magnets need to be closed when washed.
Review
Lily was given a 9-12 months bodysuit and though Lily is 15 months she is a little small for her age and still wearing some 9-12 months clothing. She looked so lovely in it, the collar is so pretty and the bodysuit is a lovely colour.
Lily and I spent the day trying out the bodysuit that magnet mouse gave us. Here are a few scenarios where we tried them out.
1. When it comes to nappy changes, Lily hates them. She will wriggle and complain until its over. It was great to be able to speed the process up by simply placing the fastening area together. One thing I always struggle with is that Lily likes to try and stand up while Im dressing her, and Ive always found it really hard to fasten poppers between her legs. Especially because she doesn't keep still. It took a little bit of a pull to pull it round to the front and then SNAP the magnets join together and its done.
2. I often dress Lily on my knee and again the poppers are really sticky to do when she is sat down. So we tested this out with the bodysuit and again a bit of a pull to pull it round as the material is quite stretchy and SNAP, its on. Much less hassle and quicker and I can let Lily off my knee which she is so dying to do.
3. The third scenario was one that wasn't planned. I had Lily sat and all fastened in her highchair ready for her dinner. Spaghetti Hoops! One of her favourites. But wait a minute. I don't want her eating them hoops wearing her new bodysuit. To messy. I need to take it off and put on another top. Oh the hassle! Am I going to have to unfasten her, take her out and undress her to do it?
Wait. No. Lets try something. Can I take it off without doing any of that? I reach for the fastening between the legs of the bodysuit and easily unfasten it in one hand motion, and up it comes, over the head and brilliant! Ive done it! Job done with no hassle!
4. I also wanted to see if the magnets stayed closed when Lily played. So I let Lily roam free in her bedroom and play for half a hour. She stretched, she crawled, and she squatted. Not once did the magnets pop open.

5. Lily wore the suit all day and we even paired it with a nice pair of jeans and headed out. Lily did loads of walking and the magnets stayed closed all day.
We give big thumbs up to the Magnet Mouse bodysuit and will be buying some for baby number two for sure. We also can't wait for the toddler range as I would love to see sleepsuits for her age and also short sleeved vests would be great to.
What we Loved
- How easy they are to fasten
- How soft the material was
- How soft the material was
- How cute the collar was
- How the suit didn't come open all day
- How it saved us time
- How discreet the magnets are
What we didn't like
- I found that when fastened up the front looked unflattering. Which doesn't matter if you plan to wear with trousers.
