When I started building my stash, I avoided All-In-Ones (AIOs), because I liked the economy of using covers you can restuff a few times. But boy have I been missing out on a key player in cloth diapering!
I just added my first All-In-One to my stash, The Smart One by SmartBottoms, makers of organic cloth diapers. I received a lovely mocha brown diaper to try out on my baby. Here’s what I love about SmartBottoms AIO:
- Quick diapering – just snap on the baby and go – no stuffing, folding, holding two pieces in place.
- Easy for newbies– when I leave the baby in the nursery or with someone else, I have started making sure I have the SmartBottoms AIO in my diaper bag. Because it’s so much easier to explain how to use the AIO to someone who doesn’t use cloth!
- Multiple snaps for sizing – the best feature on this diaper is the lower leg snaps, so you can get a customized fit around the leg opening. There are several snap setting here, which I have never seen on a diaper before.
- High quality fabric – The outer shell is a smooth, breathable PUL, and the inner absorbent diaper is 100% certified organic cotton and hemp fleece.
Having an AIO in my stash has made on the road diaper changes a little faster, since there are no “parts” to work with. Honestly, the first few times I changed my baby with this SmartBottoms diaper, I looked around thinking I must have forgotten something! It was just so simple. This would be a great diaper to give as a gift, or to someone new to cloth, and of course it is great for the dads, grandmas, babysitters, and day cares!
My only regret is that, as with all AIOs, they are sized, and my baby has nearly outgrown this lovely diaper in size medium… I will just have to get another one!
SmartBottoms also offers The Smart Cover, Too Smart Inserts, Smart Fold, Smart Wipes, Smart Bag and Smart Liner. You could set up your entire stash with this company, because they offer a full selection of diapering products!
