Toys r us is really limited in brands and selection and always has the highest prices. Best is, with a neutral online registry you can still put things on it FROM toys r us of you want! It works like pinning on pinterestEmily Morricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331780147271948152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-61768468099063011272012-04-26T14:25:03.281-04:002012-04-26T14:25:03.281-04:00Sorry for the many, many typos.

We use Snappis to fasten them then Mother Ease air flow covers. The covers have snaps. Like you, we quickly learned that Velcro was annoying because it sticks to everything and wears out. <br /><br />Honestly, I would not have gone this route if we didn't receive the flats as gifts but there are a few advantages:<br /><br />- price. Substantially cheaper than other cloth options<br />- size. They pack really small. We traveled with them lots. When clean, they tale up less room than disposables.<br />- ease of washing & drying. No special instructions or detergents. We use soap nuts and vinegar to wash then hang outside of possible. In a very wet place like Scotland, the speed in which they dry is a huge advantage! (we have no dryer so if ita raining & we need to wash diapers, they hang all over the living room until they are dry!)<br />- versatility. You can do so many folds and use different thicknesses of liners. Or you van use them aa spit up cloths, a light blanket to block the sun in summer, etc...<br /><br />The disadvantages:<br />- ease of use. A learning curve to learn the folds and hard to put on a wiggly baby or toddler (i have been changing Sebby while he stands up for about 8 months now but Darren gets him to lie down). No other parents or friends know how to use them so as parents, we are stuck changing every diaper. When we leave him with friends, we have to leave disposables. The only people we know who can change his flats are my parents!Tarrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01566863438789112227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-42295989581490165562012-04-26T11:26:33.288-04:002012-04-26T11:26:33.288-04:00Thanks for posting these reviews Em!

I think finding the right one for us will be key in convincing him and sticking with them once baby Becker arrives. <br /><br />We're going to Babies R Us tonight to do a registry (requested by my sister in law.)<br /><br />So much baby stuff to research...a lot of times I don't even know where to start. your blogs make it easier! :)<br /><br />MargieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6463680716547634421.post-91233268655244325442012-04-26T11:25:16.795-04:002012-04-26T11:25:16.795-04:00I still use my Apple Cheeks, great when at work an...I still use my Apple Cheeks, great when at work and you don't have the time to go to the bathroom .... :P<br /><br />No seriously, in that last paragraph, did you mean to say "Snaps is way better than velcro with Bum Genius diapers!" instead of the other way around ? Or am I reading this wrong ?Sabin Levesquenoreply@blogger.com
