- I am in New Zealand, and there seems to be very little in the way of nappy wraps available.

This may require using nappy pins to fasten terry nappies (rather than using a nappy wrap with Velcro closings), pinning the nappy to your toddler's vest with nappy pins, or using snug, pull-on plastic pants over the nappy (which might increase the risk of nappy rash, so make sure you change nappies frequently).2009, Heidi Murkoff, “What You May Be Wondering About”, in What to Expect: The Toddler Years, 2 edition, Simon & Schuster, →ISBN, unnumbered page:
