Munchkin Arm & Hammer 3-in-1 Potty Seat with 72 Count Potty Wipes

Munchkin Arm & Hammer 3-in-1 Potty Seat with 72 Count Potty WipesCustomer review from the Amazon Vine Program We are currently potty training, and this potty has really worked extremely well for us. The height and shape of the seat seem to be really good for our daughter, and the fact that it looks similar to a normal toilet is a plus as well. She gets excited about using it. The wipes fit nicely into the side of the potty and are at a place where she can reach, so that it makes it easy for her to help wipe. Of course, you have to buy the Arm & Hammer wipes to use that feature, but it's still not bad. The bowl is a good shape for emptying fairly easily as well.

I also really love the fact that this will eventually become a training seat that attaches to the normal toilet. Personally, we haven't found the step stool option to be particularly useful, primarily because we already have a step stool for hand washing and there's no real reason to switch to moving the seat back and forth. However, I'm sure the step stool could come in handy for some folks. The fresheners are not something I plan to continue using. They help a little bit, but honestly, this is potty training and it's not going to smell like flowers no matter what you do.

Overall, I would recommend this to parents gearing up for potty training. Our daughter likes it and we're happy with the way it's been working for us.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am in the middle of potty training and it has been challenging. My daughter is good at knowing to go but some days she just does not seem interested and I know it will all take time. I had purchased this potty, Fisher-Price Froggy Potty. She is good at using it but after there is the clean up (wipes) and also then getting out her step stool so she can wash her hands. I have been doing this for awhile now.

When I saw this I was thinking it would eliminate a few steps. It is already built so you do not have to do anything besides put the wipes in the side compartment, the air freshener in the `lid' of the toilet. My daughter helped me and she was so excited so said she wanted to use it. First time out of the box she used it and the fact the wipes are in the side is so nice. I love that the potty area is not wide because when you pour it out it does not go everywhere but yet is wide enough for any toddler that sits on it. She also seems to enjoy the `handles' on the side to hold onto. After, you put the lid down and move it to the sink and they can wash their hands. It is PERFECT!

I really think they thought of all steps when putting this together. I love the neutral colors because you can use it for with gender. I think the best part of this potty is it actually has a toilet seat which a lot of them do not. So your child will feel like a `big kid' sitting on it. I think that is why my daughter took to it so well; the seat makes it feel like it is a toilet and not some cup under them they are sitting on. Also, the wipes are septic safe so if that is an issue for you, you are fine. I myself am since I live it the woods and was happy to read that.

I look forward to when she can us it as the next step which will be when she is ready for the big potty that we use. This is meant to be used as a step stool to get up to the bigger toilet when the time comes. When that time comes you take the toilet off of this unit and place it on your toilet as a training set. I placed it on mine and it fit very well. My daughter was not ready to use it yet but I was happy that it fit and the final part of training will go smoothly.

Very impressed and my daughter loves that everything is built in. To boot it smells good which is nice. If you are looking for an all in one and one to grow with, this is it! I am so impressed with it!

My daughter liked it so much that she herself gave up dipers within two days. It was so easy to make her use this seat and very comfortable for her. We never imagined that it would be so easy. Highly recommended

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We gave this to our niece who is two and half years old and is being potty trained. We are reviewing as a potty chair, we are not using it as a training seat just yet. The potty chair is comfortable enough for her to sit on for 15 minutes at a time when we were training her to sit on it with a good book on hand. It sits solid and stable on the floor. The lid is a nice feature that makes her practice closing it when she is done, just like the adult's toilet. Aesthetically it also looks better in the bathroom too with a closed lid compared to the ones we had before (Baby Bj**n) which is open in plain sight. It's easy enough to clean and put back together after each use. The baking soda on the lid is a nice touch, but we do clean and disinfect it after every use so no smell really comes from it to be functional for us. The wipes are not being used by the little one just yet, mom is still the one who cleans her, maybe in a few months she'll get her turn on it.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I like this 3-in-1 potty seat but I don't love it. It is sturdily made, it has nice bottom grippy feet that keep it from moving on the bathroom tile, and it is just the right height.

It is easy to empty the waste catch tray. I would like to see liners for the catch tray offered however, I mean even my cat's litter box has liners available.

The deodorizing disk and wipe cartridges that come with the seat are convenient and very pleasant smelling. There is no mistaking a baby lives in this house. That said, the deodorizing disk and wipe cartridges can be very enticing toys to your potty training sweetie pie. So, don't leave the potty in a bathroom your little one can access on their own. I can see them pulling those wipes out just for the fun of it.

The seat itself seems fairly comfortable. To me it could use a bit more contouring. Also maybe taller side handles and a somewhat padded backrest?

The removable seat that transitions to the adult toilet concerns me. It doesn't fit securely. Kids are squirmy. This one moves around too much for my liking when placed on the adult toilet seat. If you have an elongated toilet seat it REALLY won't fit well. I think when grandbaby gets ready for big girl toilet I am going to have to dedicate a toilet for her (thank goodness we have 3) and secure the seat underneath with double sided tape or something.

Not a bad product overall but as I mentioned, there is room for improvement.

Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers, Size 3, 52-Count (Pack of 2)

Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers, Size 3, 52-CountI bought these after they came out because my son (now 13 months) had just outgrown swaddlers 2-3 and I've been hating the cruisers we're using. These diapers are great, they have no smell and are really soft to the touch. We have had no leaks whatsoever, they are so absorbent. The tabs and back are very stretchy, much more than pampers which is the big difference in terms of fit in my opinion. My son is tall but has a small but and these diapers fit way better than the pampers did (even the swaddlers which i loved) They are definitely 'premium' diapers though. They are about 34 cents each verse pampers which are 25 cents but I calculated that to cost us about 140 a year total and for no leaks and my babies comfort I'm going to use these until we have a problem. I wish huggies would come out with a gigantic box though, like 200 count or something but since they are new I'm sure it won't happen for awhile. I like that they are chlorine free and reduced dye and will biodegrade more than most diapers but I am certainly not oblivious to the fact that they are still disposable. We can't do cloth for various reasons and I have tried ones like seventh generation and they caused huge rashes. These huggies in particular don't have the little sticky beads like that pampers had either

We started with Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive and really liked them. However, when your baby gets to size 3, you can no longer get that diaper and have different needs (more flexibility, less padding, etc...). We bought a small pack of every diaper we could find in size 3 and tried them all on our baby. We liked these diapers the best. In fact, if we had known about them before, we might have sued them from newborn on. They are just great. They are so much softer than the rest of the size 3 diapers (closer to the swaddlers, but maybe even softer). For some reason the rest of the diapers at this point start using this rough plastic-type material on either side of the absorbent padding. We liked how absorbent these are as well. We also liked that there were less dyes and that our baby didn't get a rash after wearing them. Best of all, we liked how they fit and that our baby didn't have any blowouts (which we unfortunately did experience a couple times with some of the other diapers 7th Generation being the worst blowout we had ever seen).

At first, we only used Pampers on our son because they were so absorbent. But then, when he kept getting a rash every time we put Pampers on him, we tried several other diapers including:

Earth's Best--These were absorbent but also papery. Also, parents whose children have good allergies should beware. These diapers are made with corn and wheat, and our son is allergic to wheat.

Seventh Generation--These didn't seem to cause a rash like Pampers and Earth's Best did, but they leaked a lot, especially at night, sometimes multiple times.

The Huggies Pure and Naturals feel nice and soft and are pretty absorbent, although not as absorbent as Pampers, but our son doesn't get a rash, so we're sticking with these, unless we can find a more absorbent diaper. I do prefer the Pampers' sticky tabs to the Huggies' velcro, but once a baby gets older, it's not as big of a deal if the diaper leaks since the baby's waste is more solid. I think I would still try Pampers though for the newborn size.

I used Seventh Generation Size NB-2 diapers but when we started my son on the Size 3's, they had a rough tab that rubbed his legs almost raw within a day. I wanted to stick with the "pure and natural" so I've started using these.

Of course, as usual, the Huggies quality is great and my son's sensitive skin has had no problems with the diapers. I gave them only 4 stars because I don't believe they're truly as pure and natural as other earth-friendly brands.

Also, they are quite expensive, but much more affordable using the amazon.com Subscribe and Save program-free shipping and a discount is unbeatable!

Even though I cloth diaper, I still like having a backup disposable diaper. My husband still isn't on board with cloth, and on days that my daughter goes to the sitter, she uses disposables. 7th generation has been my go to backup diaper, but they're expensive.

I tried the huggies pure and natural since Pampers Sensitive still has perfumes on them. Now I will say that it is a very soft diaper, and dare I say it, pretty one. 7TH generation feels kinda stiff and looks less appealing IMO (but as my hubby would say, who cares, it's a diaper, its going to hold poop and pee and get tossed)

In my experience, these leaked a lot and the tabs didn't hold as well. My baby was well under the weight limit for the size 3s but she leaked out of all them, even at night when she wasn't crawling as much.

To be fair, I only used about 6 or 7 diapers, then ended up giving away the rest. So I don't know if there was some other issue that would have corrected itself in time.

I don't recommend this diaper, and will be sticking to 7th generation.

gDiapers Little gPants 2-Pack Orange & Vanilla

gDiapers Little gPants 2-Pack Orange & Vanilla, MediumI love gDiapers! I tried them because they are the greenest option, and also found them to be very practical. Flushing the inserts is very easy, and though it's an extra step it's really not that much work, especially for all the benefits for the planet, and thus our children. That also means no diaper pail to empty.

Fitting them correctly takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it there are no leaks. I recommend watching the videos on the gDipers website.

As for performance I get fewer leaks with these than with disposables. My water pressure is great so I can flush the inserts without swishing.

The only con is the price, since they are the most expensive diapers and they are not easy to find in stores. Of course the price is because of the materials they use and that they don't produce them by the billions like other brands. Hopefully as more people use them they'll become more affordable and available. Because of this I use cloth diapers at home and gDiapers when traveling or on long outings. Also the gDiapers covers (little g's) can be used as a cover for cloth diapers (using a cloth insert instead of the flushable insert).

A final recommendation: even though they have little g's in lots of colors and patterns on their website, it's cheaper to get several starter kits than to buy little g's separately, if you don't mind only sticking to the two colors that come in the starter kit.

We stumbled across these at a local discount warehouse for a really good price and bought the last three packages that were on the shelf. The refills are nice, but we mainly use the pants+liners with prefolded cloth diapers. The plastic liner holds the cloth in place and keeps wet diapers from leaking through to clothing. Ok at keeping poop in place too -if you make sure to change it promptly!

Pros:

* "Earth friendly" compostable/flushable inners if you use them this way.

* Works great with prefolded cloth diapers too.

* Lasts (almost) long enough through frequent washing for your kid to grow out of them.

Cons:

* Expensive, especially if you plan to use the disposable refills. May be worth the investment for the savings in regular disposable diapers, especially if you have to pay per-bag for your trash.

* Velcro closures break down over time with frequent washing; we have six (?) pairs and after six months of near-daily washing the velcro is almost useless. When baby starts crawling the velcro needs to hold a little better. We won't be able to "hand them down" unless someone wants to stitch on new velcro pads.

We abandoned disposable diapers in favor of cloth when our first child was about 6 months old, and I was *sure* we'd never go back. I'd looked at g-diapers when she was smaller, before we switched to cloth, but hadn't tried them. When our second child was about 5 months old, we planned a 6-day trip, and the idea of having to lug around dirty diapers and find time to do laundry while on vacation was overwhelming. A friend (who loved the product), suggested that I give them a try for the trip I did, and I LOVED them, I've never looked back. Aside from being eco-friendly, they're the most versatile diaper I've ever used. It's just as easy to use cloth inside as it is a flushable insert, they're adorable, fit wonderfully and are much trimmer than other cloth covers that I've tried. The company's customer service is stellar, and they really go the extra mile for their customers and stand behind their product. I think so highly of the product that it's not my default baby shower gift!

They have also sized the diapers to be long-lasting, my daughter is now 20 months, and has been in a medium since she was 5 months. I don't anticipate that she'll ever need a large, since she's mostly potty trained, but as a joke, we've tried them medium on her 3 1/2 year-old sister, and it's comfortable on her as well.

I was thrilled to find g diapers. I had used cloth in the past and disposable diapers in the past. Having a diaper that is both re-usable and disposable has been great for us. G diapers are easier to use than the cloth I had in the past, but as convenient as disposables. They are also cute. I have been composting our wet diapers vs. flushing and is has been going well. I have been recommending g diapers to my friends with new babies.

I love gdiapers. The only thing I have a problem with is that I did not know we had tree roots in our sewer system so we had a backup in our basement. We now use them only outside of the house and use cloth at home. We only have to wash the "gpant" every few uses but every time Ophelia poops we have to wash the liner. You can rinse it out and leave it so you can wash it when you get time and there is not a poop smell in the house.

Seventh Generation Thick & Strong Free and Clear Baby Wipes with Flip Top Dispenser, 768 Ct

Seventh Generation Thick & Strong Free and Clear Baby Wipes with Flip Top Dispenser, 768 CtToo bad. Have been using this product for 3 years and really liked it the way it was. These wipes have been changed significantly from my last purchase several months ago. I find them a lot less functional I need to use more product / job than previously and they are much less soft than before. Switching to Pampers Natural Clean which is softer and more effective but make fewer environmentally friendly claims.

I do prefer the old version of these wipes, the ones I started using when our baby was born. These "new and improved" ones are very wet and by the end of the pack they can get messy.

I rated these a 5 star because I have tried to switch many times, more lately because we recently moved to Italy and they've been hard to find. Our daughter (10 months) has very sensitive skin and even the advertised "natural" brands break her out in rashes. I've come to the conclusion these work for her and I will continue to order them.

Plus, I love Seventh Generation!

I'm happy with these wipes, the ingredients are ok not the best available, but its the best that I can afford. I use these mostly with poop clean up and when out and about. I make my own wipe spray for at home. I like that they are thick.

I do recommend only getting this kind with the flap closable top, because the other kind does not seal well and dries out fast.

Some other reviewers say they don't like the new wipes, but I love these. The old ones were a bit softer but also felt like they left a residue. These feel cleaner and more durable. Most importantly, these are the ONLY brand of wipes that don't give my baby a rash. A couple of times, we've had to use other wipes because we ran out or were out of town and didn't have enough, and our baby got a diaper rash right away. As soon as we switched back to these, it cleared up. That's worth a downgrade in softness in my book any day of the week.
