TT question

What is the difference between Turned and Serged? 

Mandmeesh

Turned means turned and top stitched edges. Serged is sort of a zig zag seam around the edge

Do they have a different fit or are they about the same?

They should be comparable. But IME the serged have more room around the legs, more stretch. Does that make sense?

When I see pictures of turned, they always look so bulky.

I have a hard time getting the turned TTs to tighten enough around L's skinny legs.  Some babies with chunky legs get some rubbing on their legs due to the serging.

I have a little tush turned and I love it. It fits really well and I don't find it any bulkier than the serged TT that I have. The 2 OS serged that I have, just don't fit C right. I'm sure, once she gets a little better I'll love them just as much. Plus, I like that the turned seem to be gentler on her legs. Though they definitely don't have as much stretch as the serged.

My first was tiny and always had chicken legs. (6lbs 7oz at birth and now almost 4 at only 25lbs) This one is measuring about the same. If I decide to try for one which one do you think I should go for?

How old is your daughter?  I had a turned LT that I got sold because I couldn't get the legs tight enough.  L is a year old and 21 lbs and I think the serged and turned OS fit similarly now.

I don't know that I think the Fusions are actually bigger than the fitteds, but to me, they are bulkier because of the fleece in them. I have both turned and serged, and both work equally well for me, but I prefer the look of the turned.

I guess it'd depend on how soon you wanted baby to wear it. Right away? I'd get a tiny tush. A few months later? I'd get a little tush. And if you happen to not like them, there's always someone who's looking to buy on the fan page.

C is 6 weeks 2 days and is 24" long and 12lbs.6oz. She's no chunk, just long. The little tush is still a little big, but not terribly so. She will probably outgrow length, before width.

M is 14 months and 17lbs. The little tush's are enormous on him. I don't love the fit, but they work for ON. Eta they are serged

My LO is almost 5 months, and about 18lb and 28" long. He has chunky thunder thighs and a big booty.  I have one LT turned fusion and it fits him well.  The OS fit fine, but are a little bulky.  That being said he is a heavy wetter so having a bit of extra fabric is useful for him.  We have OS in turned and serged.  I love the stretch of serged, but the turned are a bit gentler on his thighs.  I lean towards turned, I typically won't purchase serged unless I'm absolutely in love and cannot find turned.
