Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I've gotten to know more about diapers in the past five years than I thought I ever would. In the early days of our first child, I quickly learned that All Diapers Are Not Created Equal. Parents, you know what I'm talking about. When you're still in those early sleep-deprived days (otherwise known as the first six weeks or so) you're mostly using diapers that other people bought for you. If you asked for diapers at your baby shower, odds are you didn't specify a brand, so your first few weeks see a lot of trial and error.
Generally speaking, all diapers (at least in my experience) are just about as good at sucking up pee as each other. But you're not really worried about pee when you're putting on a diaper--sure, if it leaks, you've got a wet and therefore more squawky baby than usual, but pee's pretty easy to clean.
Poop, on the other hand...that's another story. Even once you've moved past the tarry meconium phase, poop is never your friend. And when it gets out of the diaper (what I, inspired by Star Trek: TNG, call a "hull breach"), the results are messy and catastrophic, at least if your plans for the day don't include parading your offspring around with feces smeared liberally on their clothes, and more likely than not yours as well. This is all a long way of saying that, while you don't remember the times the diaper contained a potential hull breach, you remember most of the failures--particularly if you imagine Jonathan "Commander Riker" Frakes shouting "Hull breach! Decks 4 to 7!" while red lights flash and consoles explode.
And, in my nearly half-decade with diapers, I've found Pampers Cruisers to be the most reliable diapers out there, particularly when it comes to containing hull breaches. That's not to say they totally eliminate the risk of one--after all, there's always operator error to consider, and the fact that, when you're changing your little one, they might thrash around so much that they expel the poop out of the diaper and all over themselves, the changing table, and you. But these diapers have, for us, been extremely reliable for a long time, and I expect we'll stick with them until our youngest one is toiler-trained.
So, yeah, these are good diapers.
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program There comes a point when you have to switch to the next size up diapers or suffer leaks on the crib sheets every night. Kinda annoying since fewer and fewer diapers come with each successive sized diaper box, so you're paying the same for less. My system for leaky nights in the past has been to switch to the next size up diapers for the evenings and then to use nighttime diapers and if that fails, then to use the next size up in an overnight diaper. (Someone once suggested to me that for the worst leakers, you can even put a feminine pad into the diaper, but we haven't had to go that route so far, thank goodness.)
At any rate, I've found that with these diapers, I can put baby into the same size during the day and the Cruisers Ultra for nighttime and still end up with dry mornings. And that is all you really ask out of a diaper.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program In 2009, Pampers went back to the drawing board and redesigned much beloved Cruisers diapers. The result was controversial, drawing (IMO) much deserved criticisms for being more cheaply made and more prone to leaks. Cruisers Ultra is not a direct replacement of redesigned Cruisers in that it carries more premium price (about 15-20% more expensive) and is designed for extended period (such as nighttime sleep or extended outing).
Compared to regular Cruiser, the padding is considerably softer, about on par with Seventh Generation that we use from time to time. And where regular Cruiser and Seventh Generation failed, my 9-month old crawler has used it for 2 weeks and it has never leaked.
My only real criticism is that Cruisers Ultra does not replace Cruisers (and Extra Protection) outright, but instead offered as a premium product. As it stands, there are now 5 different Pampers diapers, Cruiser, Swaddler, Baby Dry, Extra Protection, and now Cruisers Ultra.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Through two children who are a decade apart in age I've been a Pampers fan. Why? They continue to innovate their already great products without changing them so dramatically there's an uncomfortable period of change.
I wish I wasn't writing this review, I want to be writing them for training pants instead! That said, when you have a highly active 3-year-old who needs serious leak protection you have to find a brand that doesn't just have high absorbancy, but moves with your kid. Which is the one thing I LOVE about the Cruisers. Unlike that other big name brand that has a supposed fit designed for movement, Pampers Cruisers gets that a walking toddler doesn't just sit. A high sided diaper might be a little more comfortable to move in, but every time I've tried the other brand we have a bad leak. Keeping in mind my little one's age, we did have a recent BM leak but mostly as the result of my youngster's ability to take off her own diaper which occasionally results in the sides getting loose.
The new Ultra is crazy absorbent. I feel guilty even admitting this but when my husband recently let me sleep in, our toddler was in that diaper for fourteen hours before getting changed! It was very full yet didn't leak at all. Ugh, I want to hide from this admission but for the sake of the review I want all you moms and dads and caregivers and grandparents to know the Cruiser Ultra can handle an astronomical amount of urine. It can definitely handle those nights when your worn out kid sleeps for 12 straight hours (wish those were every night don't we? lol) or the upcoming holiday shopping days when finding a place to change them might be difficult. No worries, Pampers has them protected.
I highly recommend Cruisers for mobile babies and toddlers and when friends and family have a new addition I always encourage them to try the Swaddlers for their newborns too! IMHO there's no better disposable brand out there for keeping them dry and leak-free.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program These are by far my favorite diapers. They are super soft and are really flexible for my little boy who has been crawling/walking around now for a few months. As a nighttime diaper they are great because they are so absorbent! I have never once had a leak in the months that I have been using these. I have tried all different kinds of diapers from store brands to other brand names, and Pamper's by far has the best diapers out there!
Kids love it, easy to use, doesn't drip out a lot like regular shampoos when they turn upside down & squeeze.
