Gerber Baby Unisex 6 Pack Long Sleeve Onesies Bodysuits
Cheap, simple newborn layers with handy snaps, but buy a size up because they run small.
We bought Simple Joys by Carter's Baby 5-Pack Neutral Long-Sleeve Bodysuits, Grey/Blue Stripe, Newborn. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a low cost long sleeve bodysuit multipack sold in newborn size from a well known baby brand with maker pages and independent coverage.
The short version
- Parents stocking up on newborn basics on a budget
- Anyone who wants plain layers to wear under sleepers or overalls
- Families who expect a lot of laundry and stains
- Your baby is long or between sizes
- You want organic or certified organic cotton
- You plan to tumble dry and want no shrinkage
What owners like
- Low cost per bodysuit, so stains matter less
- Simple layering piece that goes with any bottoms
- Neckline and snap placement make changes quick
Common complaints
- Runs small, which shortens how long each size fits
- Not pre washed, so it can shrink about half a size
- Construction is average rather than premium

What it does
A six pack of 100% cotton rib long sleeve bodysuits sold in newborn and up; reviewed here in place of the Simple Joys by Carter's grey and blue stripe 5 pack it resembles.
- Cotton rib fabric the maker describes as breathable
- Lap shoulder neckline that stretches over the head
- Snaps sit higher in the front to make diaper changes easier
- Sold in white and in printed or colored neutral packs
- Can be worn alone or as an under layer in cool weather
A practical low cost pick for stocking up on newborn layers, with a stretchy neckline and snaps placed for quick changes. The trade-off is fit: testers say Gerber runs small and can shrink after the first wash, so many parents size up.
