is it bulky? we used the Iplay, but not happy with the look. From the back, it looks like the diapers is hanging down a lot. How does the Finis look?

Not really bulky. It hides under her swimsuit pretty well. But it's tight on her legs. I probably should have gotten a bigger size than I thought originally.

We have to use 2 of them at once as per the rules of the place our daughter has swim lessons. They fit beneath her swimsuit fairly easily doubled, so 1 should be fine.

We have the finis and the iplay. There is a big difference in fit. The finis is very close fitting - order up a size tight, where the iplay is very roomy and yes, saggy. I would order down a size for the iplay to improve fit and order up a size for the finis. It is not bulky at all. I think it has less layers. We wear the finis under swimsuit bottoms, while the iplay is the swimsuit bottom.

These fit in the one size reuasable diapers from charlie banana. They look bulky but they work. My baby is at medium size in the one size and it works just fine in my opinion. But i put them im at night. When i will expand to large i think it will not look as bulky. As for liners i am not too crazy for the charlie banana they are so thin and flimzy everythint leaks out. I really like the GroVia 3728 Bioliners. They are thicker and way bigger. you can find them on amazon

I always felt it was on the smaller side so we had the extra panels from the start. I also have to add that my daughter never sat still long enough to even take a photo so she needed all the space we could give her. If you have a calm infant, he may be okay in the playpen itself for now. thou once he starts walking you still want him to have the extra space to stretch his little legs and run :)

Pocket style diaper. They need stuffed with micro fiber inserts or another kind. I love mine!

Truthfully I haven't had a lot of use with it yet since my baby is only 3 weeks old and we haven't gone out much. It's a simple tri-fold pad that secures with Velcro. It doesn't have pockets or anything to hold wipes or diapers, so if you think you'll need that then you might want to purchase the matching changing station. For me, I think I'll going to be happy with it since I'll always have the diaper bag around to hold what I need. The diaper bag is AWESOME.

I see someone else answered. Its not quite as thick and plump as it appears in the picture. I was disappointed when I opened it. But once I used it I love it. I have a six month old that was just to confined in her baby bath tub and to difficult to wash her anymore. This I put in the tub she loves it and I do too. Keeps her in place not sliding all over the tub just feels much more safe.

I agree with other response. I didn't leave it on all day/all the time because to me I believe it would be a nusense. I stopped attaching it to the diaper early on and just cut elastic from one of her pants and hooked it on that way or put her in pjs with pants and attached it to the pants. You get really good at attaching it. Its almost second nature to me now.

I ended up not using it. The diaper holder is great for small diapers, but not as well with the larger diapers. It also slipped all over the place. It took up more room than I wanted so I ended up getting a wipes warmer for the dresser and putting a small shelf above the dresser got a few cute baskets to put diapers, nail clippers, ointments etc in. This worked great, especially once the baby started to wiggle around....then everything was out of his reach!

I use it as a changing pad. It is stiffer, but I think it would bunch up if your child try's to sleep on it and moves a lot like my daughter does. It works great as a take along changing pad! I got the froggy design so the baby also likes looking at it when they get older;)

I would refer to the Thirsties website for specific info, but you could always try laying the insert inside of the cover and see how it works. I use my cover with fitted diapers and prefolds with a snappi. The covers do a really good job of holding moisture inside.

I wouldn't say it's roomier. It's better designed for baby gear and I know which pocket everything is in. Never used a regular backpack for this, so I really can't compare. I used a diaper bag for the 1st year and then looked for a backpack that wasn't too babyish. This fit the bill and it works great for us.

I agree. There is a lot of slack in the harness. Also, your child would fit comfortably. If you go to the website for the product, I'm fairly confident that there is a video, so you could see it being actually used.

The splash guard doesn't seem to be a problem at all. My daughter has used the potty as well. It is comfortable for her as well and the splash guard doesn't get "in the way."

I would say it is not as "softly" padded because of the material it is made of. This can be wiped clean. The head and waist inserts are nicely cushioned. If you have a very thin baby I can see why you might prefer something else. I really think there is plenty but the material is a bit deceptive. I'm grateful a diaper explosion occurred in this seat and not my other son's soft fabric seat! Hope this offers some perspective.

I replaced the 2L that came with it with this one when I need over 2L, but otherwise I use the factor bladder: Platypus Big Zip SL 3-Liter Hands-Free Hydration SystemWith 3L in it, it is a tight fit and the bladder is taller than the one that came with it, but I thought it worked ok. That said, I don't normally carry 3L and if I did all the time, I'd probably want a bigger pack. The other option would be to throw a couple bottles of water in the side webbing pockets. With the other stuff I normally carry, 3L makes the pack pretty tight when it's full of water, but obviously as you drink it down, it gets looser. I can say I really like the pack overall, it's great quality.

Its a much tighter fit. The "betterfit" feature is shorter meaning once trifolded it should fot the exact lenght of the cover. With that being said it doesn't have that extra allowance to work with to fold around the baby at the top. So if you want to snappi it buy a size larger or so with the standard or premium not the better fit option

The changing pad is nice enough you don't even really need a cover, we have just used a liner a lot of the time. But we have the naturpedic cover and just a normal Carter's blue dot cover from Babies R Us. That one fits just fine. It might seem a little odd at first but gets nice and snuggly once baby's been laid on it once or twice. But again, you could probably also go without!
