I just bought Bum Genius V 3.0 which I'm trying to figure out before baby comes. I was a bit surprised they didn't come with pictorial instructions.
I find it really difficult to get the booster flat inside the pocket without it instantly bunching up. What's the technique? It's really hard with the pocket folded down to newborn size.
They say they have an insert stopper ... I don't know what that's referring to. There's no "stopper" as far as I can tell. The entire pocket opens up inside and the booster can move around easily.
I haven't stuffed it for the small size yet (waiting on more to be delivered so I can use for both) so I use both inserts for DS.
I put the inserts in, hold the end of it, while bringing my hand down towards the pocket opening so it flatterns by my palm on the way down - if that makes sense?
Bit clueless about the stopper unless they mean the snaps on the bigger insert where you fold it down?
I must be hopeless because I try that same technique but when I remove my hand it instantly starts bunching in the middle, because on the small setting there's so much extra "material" on the pocket itself.
I wish it would clip in or something. Maybe once I have an actual baby and the nappy is on the actual baby's actual butt it will stay in place. I'm just keen to learn and be prepared. Want as few surprises as possible when the time comes.
place both inserts on top of each other....insert one end in..and lay the rest of the insert on my arm (palm facing upwards) then slide it in...pull the nappy tight so all the insert goes in.
I think the stopper they are referring to it the 'flap' that covers the insert at the back?
ive had a look at the pictures us retailers are supplied with and they are hopeless at showing what to do!
ETA: I tired it on the smallest setting and had no problems with bunching

Have you snapped the booster to the smallest setting? I stuff them like Gudism and never have a problem. I'd say the insert stopper is the overlapping bit of material at the back.
Maybe it's just the newborn insert on its own because it's so thin. Or it's me. With a newborn, the newborn insert is enough on it's own? I guess I'll find that out eventually.
Are we stuffing the pocket with the PUL side up or the lining side up? So basically are we trying to stuff into the curve of the nappy or sort of pushing against it?
