WOW! I tried many others-- BumGenius, Happy Heiny's, etc. None compare! These are great. My baby had a bad reaction on her bottom to all that polyester from the other diapers; but these are organic cotton and sooooo soft. The price difference really does reflect the much superior quality of this diaper. They are made exceptionally well. It fits great and doesn't leak on my chubby six month old. My search for the perfect pocket diaper has ended!
UPDATE: After nine months, these diapers are still holding up and I still love them! I would buy all snaps if I could do it over again, though. I called Swaddlebees to have them repair the ones with failing velcro and they said they would just send me brand new diapers with snaps instead!!! The customer service is fantastic, quick, and very responsive. On a side note, they still fit my 27 pound 15 month old nicely. If the whole world knew how easy cloth diapering was with Swaddlebees, there would be a diaper revolution!
Huggies vs Pampers Ahh, the ultimate controversy. I feel like I've graduated from college to adult when the hot topic with my friends has changed from 'boxers vs briefs' to 'huggies vs pampers'.
We did stage our own version of the Pepsi Challenge, and purchased Huggies, Papers, Luvs and even some other random brand I found in our local grocery store. Huggies wins hands down. Luvs leaked all the time, and was even kind of scratchy. Pampers was nice and soft, but also leaked. For us, Huggies has never leaked. The elastic bands around the legs fit well, the diapers are soft enough to not bother my son. We've used Huggies from size NB up to 3 so far and have still preferred Huggies in each size range.
Within the Huggies line, I prefer the Ultra-trim (which I guess is being called something else now?) over the Huggies Supreme. The Supreme were extra padded and tended to bunch up. They didn't leak, but they just weren't as comfortable for my son's frenzied activity level.
As for fit, my son has always been small for his age (10th percentile in weight, 60th percentile in height), so I'm not sure if that makes any difference... maybe pampers works better for chunky kids? Which opens up another age old controversy "does size really matter"? But that's a conversation for another day.

Works with the regular letters from Leapfrog A NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY:
When my little girls started walking around, I purchased the Leapfrog alphabet for my fridge that she could learn her letters. As our little girl got older she started being able to tell between lower case and uppper case letters so we got her a lower case set.
A short couple of years later my little girl was spelling small three letter words so we picked up a three letter word speller from Leapfrog at a local large discount store. To our shock the letters from our original leapfrog set did not fit into the new set....not very smart on the part of leapfrog unless they want me to pay two or three times for letters.
So we did some digging on Amazon and found this set which uses the standard size letters from leapfrog so we don't have to go buy a whole other set of letters.
So I guess what I'm saying is CAUTION, leapfrog sells several sets of alphabets and spellers and sometimes the letters are not interchangeable.
REGARDING THIS PLAYER
It does what its intended to do. It has a couple of modes one for spelling and one for word games where it prompts the child to enter letters to form a word. Overall, my kid doesn't sit for hours in front of the fridge playing this game but every once in a while she'll stop there and play for a while.
If you have an old set, make sure you get the compatible player so you can reuse your words.
Absolute waste of money! These sports sippers are horrible. They last for about a week and then the no-drip valve breaks. I had wasted money on three of these things. If you "overtighten" these bottles, the cap raises up slightly causing it to leak! Do yourself a favor and DO NOT buy this. You're better off buying something cheaper as these aren't worth the money you pay.
exactly as expected This leotard is made of excellent quality and looks great after several wears to gymnastics and washes that followed. Would absolutely order again!
