It's funny, I prefer one piece but I know what you mean about having a hard

outfit and what I do is practice snapping and unsnapping a few times before
actually put it on him..

I preferred 2 piece, I could never get the snaps to line up and that made me
crazy! V

we have some one piece outfits but there's also a fair number of two piece 
as well.
