Help me choose between these 4!

[Miss K]

Ok so a family member stocks MCN's and these four are the ones she stocks:

GreenKids
Weenies
Pea Pods
Bum Genius

Which out of the 4 would you prefer and why? This is our first little bubba so obviously I have never used them before and would love to use MCN's over disposables.. What I look for is something thats not going to leak and something thats going to be easy to use and comfortable for the baby.. I would have a look at each of them but we don't live in the same state so any help and advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks xxoo

My recommendation to you would be to buy a couple of each nappy and try them out on your bubba! You won't know what suits bub best until he/she is born then you can spend up big thats the fun part!!! Don't buy too many at first. I gradually built up my stash over the first 6mths of DD's life (and still buying sometimes haha addictive)

I love out of those the bumgenius and Greenkids.... I love AIO's and OSFM's as they seem to last and dont need covers.

Haven't tried Weenies so can't comment. My experience with Peapods is "you get what you pay for" iykwim. I've got 2nd hand ones i want to sell so if you're interested let me know.... in great condition.

ps so exciting that you are expecting after everything you've been thru!!! Yay for you!!!

(its renstar remember!) hehe

Out of all of them, I'd go Bumg's.

I loved my green kids, but they are just really wide, far too wide for a newborn, whereas the bumg's aren't as wide.

However, they are both lined with suedecloth, which bubs can react to - my DD's can't wear suedecloth at all - they rash up immediately.
HTH.

I've used BG and GK and really like the GKs now, but i think the BGs probably would be better on smaller bubbies.
I think it really depends on the size and shape of your baby too, so buying a few different ones to try is a good idea. Also, will you be using them from birth or later?

didispunk - those g diapers are the same as the weenies hehe! I like the look of those and the disposable inserts and micro inserts..

Ren - I think I have been talked out of pea pods after more research on here they don't have very good feedback LOL! BG and GK's are looking good though!

Arimeh - Thanks for the advice and pre-warning of the suedecloth! what other option did you go for for your DD's?

Marcellus - I am thinking from birth till its TT, I do have some disposables just incase... I don't mind having one brand from birth and a different brand from another age either if you think the BG's would be better on the newborn

BumG would be our favourite out of those!
Have fun shopping!

I agree with Shanti - don't buy all one brand until you know what fits your bub best or you might be stuck with an entire stash that doesn't fit.
I have about 60nappies in my stash and probably only a third of them do I have more than one of the same brand.

I would skip the Pea Pods, we have sold all ours

I wanted to try BumG, but got caught it the fluffiness of IB's

Heard good things about the Green Kids, not sure about the Weenies a friends dad stocks them but I never got around to trying them...

....So I would go the Bum G as they are a good all rounder

It's not actually what you were asking, but i found flats with a good cover were good for newborns and their sometimes explosive poos.
Do any of the pockets/AIO-types work well for containment, just out of curiousity? I always thought BGs seemed like they would be pretty good for poosplosions, but we never had any then so don't know.
