Review on the New Bumgenuis Freetime

I received the New Bumgenius Freetime on Saturday!!! In the beautiful color mirror and in applix closure.This diaper retails for 19.95. I was so excited to try it on my kids. The Freetime is Bumgenius newest product a onesize, all in one. What does this mean: no stuffing pockets, quickdry and fits most babies 8-35 lbs. This diaper features new semi attached inserts that are made of microfiber and microfleece which feel dry for baby. There are two inserts one is sewn at the front and one in the back, they fold into the center. I was a little bit leery of how this diaper was going to spray out, but it is spraying out great. This diaper fit great on J who is almost 10 months and 20lbs and pretty good on P who is 3 1/2 and weighs about 33+. I'm really loving this diaper. It is pretty trim. Not quite as trim as the elemental but still trim. It is really absorbent. J wore this for his nap and for a total of about 3 hrs and no leaks!! I'm really looking forward to trying this diaper in the snap version as well. I will update if I feel the fit or size is any different with the snap closure. Overall, I am very happy with this diaper and already have more on the way.

Review on the New Bumgenius Flip Trainer

Isn't he cute~P





We have been using the Bum Genius Flip Trainer for a little over a month.
I purchased the trainer at cottonbabies.com for 24.95. It comes with a cover and 5 organic cotton inserts. This is a onesize trainer it (fits most 18 months to 4t).


I bought the trainer in the color mirror with clementine side panels. It was intended as an overnight solution for P who is 3/12 and needs a nighttime diaper. I had been looking for something he could put on and take off by himself. And was hoping the new bg trainer would fit the bill. So I washed and prepped the trainer and tried it on P. We had some leaking and I was a bit sad.

But we kept on trying. I finally realized that I was setting the trainer too large for p. I had it on the largest setting but the legs were gaping. I may or may not have prepped the inserts as much as needed (cotton needs washed several times before it reaches its full absorbancy.) So I snapped the rise down all the way down and washed the inserts some more and we had sweet success!! It's pretty wet in the morning but since making it smaller it has not leaked. I may have to add another insert but I am hoping he will begin waking up dry soon. Either way, I love that he feels wet vrs a disposable where he wakes up thinking he woke up dry. I love the fact that it's cute, healthier and more economical than the disposable as well.

Pros- soft organic cotton, feels wet, pretty good price, size is adjustable
Cons- the insert is a bit small, sometimes the rise comes unsnapped when pulling up or down, velcro can snag stuff up in wash(newer versions have wash tabs!!

Overall, I am happy with this purchase and will consider getting more. For more info on this trainer check out http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=139&products_id=3110

WHAT ELSE

I'm really looking forward to trying Grovia's New All in one trainer coming out later this month!

Shopping with littles -Baby carrier to the resuce

I went to the big city today. It was early in the evening and cars and people were bustling everywhere. I dropped off O at indoor soccer practice and decided to try a little shopping with my three little helpers in tote. Wow, am I thankful that I don't do that everyday.

It seems my kids have two modes when shopping. Super dupper hyper and rambunctious or tired and grumpy. Well today was the latter. We didn't shop for very long mind you, in and out. So glad I baby wear or it would have been impossible. J just hung out while I shopped and tried to console crying children. This is the baby carrier I used today. The Becco Gemini. I will try to do a review on the Gemini soon:)

I am so thankful we are keeping Christmas simple this year. And for online shopping. I have been able to find great quality gifts that magically appear at the door or in the mailbox. Getting the gifts is almost as much fun as giving or receiving them. No more trying to hide gifts while the kids are shopping with me. I really don't like leaving my kids much, so they go just about everywhere with me. Which reminds me of the ladies who were smirking at me today, as I came out of the public restroom with J in the Gemini (one of my favorite baby carriers). How else do you go potty with 3 kids? I love baby wearing. It keep J warm today and it was sure cold out. I'm looking forward getting this in the mail soon. It should help keep us warm this winter.

This is a Kowalli baby carrier cover. I ordered mine from jillian @ paxbaby.com she's an awesome wealth of baby wearing goodness. Look for the review coming soon!
