Flip Diaper Covers--When they say "one-size," they mean it!

I was upstairs and Isaac was almost asleep when he decided to tinker with his diaper and pull the tab off. I know it's lazy, but we didn't have any more diapers upstairs, and I didn't feel like going back downstairs, so I came up with a creative solution.

I haven't blogged much about it, but we put Naomi in cloth diapers sometimes. I probably should do them more often to get our money's worth, but one way I have tried to make them more economical is purchasing one-size-fits all covers. These snap into different configurations so that they grow with the baby, and can supposedly be used until potty training. You just need to buy new prefolds (the classic cloth diaper) to put inside the cover. I haven't been able to test this out, since Naomi obviously isn't at her largest diaper size yet.

I bet you can guess where this is going. I didn't want to waste Isaac's diaper, and I had an extra Flip diaper cover left, so I just unsnapped it to its largest size and tried it on. It fits! And Isaac is no ordinary-sized 2-year-old, either. He's about in the 98th percentile. So it looks like we will be getting our money's worth out of these covers.
