Little Looster Potty Stool Booster Review & Giveaway (CLOSED 8/11)

Aug 4,2011 / By Maria / 26 Comments

The Little Looster is a unique step stool designed specifically to give little potty trainers/users a boost on the loo!

It’s unique design is convenient for little feet, but stays tucked under the potty, so it does not need to be moved for adults to use the toilet.

It wraps around the toilet, so your little one’s feet are supported whether he likes his feet out front, or prefers to hang them around the side. It also means you don’t have to worry about him taking a tumble and/or flipping the stool over if he doesn’t step off the potty perfectly in the center of the stool.

Though I thought the stool looked really big when I took it out of the box, it fits perfectly even in our small half bath. The stool doesn’t tip over no matter where my son steps on it, it doesn’t slip (it has non-slip grips on the bottom) and the textured design means he doesn’t slide or slip, even when his feet are wet. I was worried that it might collect dirt on top (like another step stool we have, which has rubbery nubs on top) but it hasn’t!

It’s very easy to use:

Maybe a little too easy, hee hee. I did eventually get him to use it the right way!

My son is very petite, so he sometimes does need a little bit of help getting himself over the raised splash guard on the potty seat, but he is really close to being able to do it himself every time!

I would love to see the Little Looster in other colors, and I’d be thrilled if they would design the perfect step stool for the bathroom sink! The Little Looster is available at retailers for $34.99, and is manufactured completely in the U.S.! Monica Mylet developed the Little Looster over the course of three years to meet a need their family had, and I really enjoyed looking at the Little Looster along the journey!

~~Giveaway: Little Looster is offering one reader their own Little Looster stool! (ARV $34.99) Entries go in the Rafflecopter form below! You may view Rafflecopter’s Privacy Policy.~~

Snap-EZ Training Pants Review – Updated 11/11/13

Jul 28,2011 / By Maria / 22 Comments

I first heard of Snap-EZ during the great cloth diaper hunt, when I swear I spent hours looking at a virtual store shelf of trainers on an extreme sponsor’s site! What really caught my eye is the extreme size range they have, to fit older children, special needs children, and adults. They have extenders available to make them even larger. Though the pocket diapers have the widest size range (starting at youth small, and going up to adult XL), the training pants come in sizes that will fit kids with a 22″ rise, 20″ thighs and 30″ waist!

Tots Bots Tini Fit Newborn Diaper Review

Jul 26,2011 / By Maria / 41 Comments

I’ve been wanting to try the Tots Bots Easy Fit diaper for a while, and now that I have a reason to, I went ahead and grabbed the newborn version of the Easy Fit, the Tots Bots Tini Fit!

The Easy Fit and Tini Fit are made by Tots Bots in Scotland, and distributed by Bummis. (I checked out their Facebook page and really enjoyed all the “nappy” and “rubbish” and “holiday” talk, tee hee!)

The Easy Fit diaper is designed to fit babies from 8-35 pounds, and the Tini Fit is for little ones from 5-14 pounds.

The diaper has Velcro closures with good sized laundry tabs. The inner of the diaper is rayon from bamboo, with the outer edge side guards made of brushed polyester.

I wasn’t sure exactly what it was going to look like, since it’s so hard to tell from photos. In the first photo, I’ve pictured the diaper turned inside out, so you can see that it has a sewn in soaker like a “traditional” all-in one. However, instead of the entire soaker being sewn together, the rest sticks out like a tongue style soaker, that you tuck into the pocket.

You can also add an additional booster (included) to up the absorbency from 13.4 oz to 16.9 oz!

With the Tini Fit, you’re getting the ease of an AIO (stuffing the flap in is an additional step, but it’s very quick and easy) but the soaker will be easier to clean and dry than if it were all sewn in. You can also fold the soaker to place absorbency where you need it, and of course the pocket allows you to add a booster!

Here it is measured folded and stretched:

Here’s my “model” pictured first in a newborn disposable, then in the Tini Fit:

The Tini Fit comes in 6 great colors (including white) and retails for $18.95. See the diaper on an actual newborn…

Giveaway: I am testing a Rafflecopter form for this giveaway! You may view I paid normal retail price for the item pictured. I was not compensated for this post and all opinions are my own.

Tiny Tush Elite 1.1 Pocket Diaper PRINTS Review/Giveaway (CLOSED 8/2) U.S./Canada

Jul 22,2011 / By Maria / 22 Comments

I reviewed the Tiny Tush pocket diaper several months ago and still love the diaper, so I was really excited to be involved in the launch of four new prints!

The 4 limited edition (once they’re gone, they’re gone!) prints join Star Spangled and 13 colors available in snap or Aplix closures. The prints are made in the U.S.A. just like the solids, and they will retail for $19.95, the same as solid colors.

Here they all are…

Star Spangled:

Bella:

Bots:

Bubbles:

Camo:

I didn’t know what the prints were or what I was getting, but when I finally got to see all of them, my favorites were definitely robots and bubbles!

I got my package just as we were heading out and I was strong and didn’t rip right into it like I wanted to. I wanted you all to see how ~~I was tortured~~ it was packaged, LOL. No really, getting a surprise print in the mail is like the icing on the fluffy mail cake. Waiting is tough! I got a Tiny Tush pen too, which I love and am hiding so it doesn’t get “borrowed.”

I got the Camo print and when my husband saw it he said “does a bear poop in the woods? Now your baby can too!” Actually, he said “beaw,” which was a reference to the potty time Elmo DVD we were forced to watch repeatedly when our daughter was little. Neither of us was too sad when it became too scratched to watch anymore. YIPPEE! I promised that I would include his joke in my review. 😉 I am sure this print (I think hubby said it was mossy oak-ish or something like that) will be a hit with the hunter daddy/outdoors-man out there!

The other Tiny Tush I have is Aplix closure, and this one is snap. Very easy to use, nothing complex!

Same pocket opening, leg elastic, two inserts and 4 rise settings!

XS folded & stretched:

Small:

Medium:

Large:

The diapers are designed to fit approximately 7-35 pounds. I have my 24ish lb 25 month old son in the medium/next-to-largest setting and he has plenty of room to grow.

The new prints were scheduled to go on sale today at 12:01 A.M., so you can snag one at Tiny Tush now! Join the Twitter chatter with hashtags #clothdiapers and #fluffystyle and tell us what your favorite is!

Giveaway: Tiny Tush is offering one of my readers an Elite 1.1 pocket diaper in his/her choice of color or print (ARV $19.95.)

FuzziBunz Perfect Size Diaper Giveaway Sponsored by FluffyRump (CLOSED 7/26) U.S./Canada & Review of XS

Jul 19,2011 / By Maria / 25 Comments

I’ve had my medium FuzziBunz Perfect Size Diaper for about 10 months now, and I still love it. Naturally, I wanted to add the XS/newborn size to my newborn cloth diaper stash for the new baby! Though I purchased this diaper myself, FluffyRump is generously sponsoring a giveaway for a perfect size diaper in XS, S, M or L!

FluffyRump is a small (but growing!) cloth diaper retailer, run by WAHM Stefanie and her husband Kevin. They carry cloth diapers, accessories and other eco-friendly items that the owners themselves have used and loved, including LifeFactory glass baby bottles! They have reasonable shipping rates (there’s a calculator right in the shopping cart, and they refund any shipping overcharge.) They offer reward points on every purchase too! Stefanie is very friendly and you can contact her anytime with questions you have!

The XS is estimated to fit 4-12 lbs (preemie-4 months), the small 7-18 lbs (0-8 months), medium 15-30 lbs (6-26 months) and large 25-45 lbs (12+ months.) My son was about 18.5 pounds at 16 months when we bought our medium FB perfect size. He is still rather petite at 23.5ish lbs at 25 months. The medium FB is definitely much larger than other medium diapers we were using, but it fit him well then and fits him well now with tons of room to grow. I doubt we will ever need to go to larges in the FuzziBunz! I don’t have a small though (ahem, I need to get one, don’t I?) so I don’t know how they fit vs. the XS. If you have bigger newborns, you may very well be able to use the smalls and mediums and that’s it!

It has easy snap closures, leg and rear elastic, and a rear pocket opening.

Just like the medium, the XS came with a microfiber insert that was perfectly sized to fit in the diaper.

Here is the XS measured folded and stretched:

Now here is my “newborn model” wearing it. I’ve also pictured him wearing a newborn disposable so you can see how the fit compares.

Our medium FuzziBunz Perfect Size is a “go-to” diaper for us when we’re going to be out and about. It fits well, despite it’s more generous size, and absorbs well. ~~I expect the same performance from the XS, and we’ll find out in December when I get to test the fit & absorbency on a newborn. So, watch for an updated review then!~~ Read about how this worked for our newborn.

Discount: Use code FLUFFY15 for 15% off your order at FluffyRump. Once this code has reached it’s maximum # of uses, there will be a 10% code posted on the FluffyRump home page that will be valid through 7/31!

Giveaway: FluffyRump is offering one reader a FuzziBunz Perfect Size Diaper in his/her choice of size (XS, S, M or L) and color, subject to availability. (ARV $15.95-$17.95.)
