Cloth Diaper Review - Gro Baby

Sunday, May 16, 2010

My family and I are planning on going on vacation this week. This will be the babies first vacation. Since I am using cloth diapers I wasn't sure if I should use them when we go on vacation. I recently read an article discussing traveling using cloth diapers and the article mentioned the Gro Baby disposable inserts. I decided to buy the shell and disposable inserts system to use while on vacation.

GroBaby Shell Blackberry

When my package arrived in the mail I was very excited. I decided to try out the inserts before we went on vacation so I could get use to them. The inserts looked just liked a disposable diaper but instead of having velcro tabs their was a peel and stick strip in the back. I put one on while we went to the grocery store. Boy was I shocked to find my daughter with a horrible diaper rash when I changed her diaper. It was the worst diaper rash she has ever had. I looked at the filler material ingredients and I found that the diapers contained the same gel chemical that the regular disposables have. Since my daughter was allergic to the inserts I won't be using them. I decided that I would use the shell with my Flip Insert. I was very disappointed with the Gro Baby shell. First off the cover was much narrower than my other diaper covers so my insert barely fit inside. I was afraid that their would be a leakage issue since the mid section of the diaper barely covered her. Another problem is the cover isn't as long as other covers so it won't be fitting her much longer. She is only 9 months and 16lbs right now. I hated the velcro fastening in this diaper. Their aren't any laundry tabs or middle velcro strip. You have to use the fabric to attach the velcro and it is very hard to take the tabs off/put the tabs on the fabric, which is a big problem when your child is squirming around. The shells (diaper covers) are very had to use and don't cover tall/chubby babies. I don't recommend the Gro Baby shell/disposable insert.
