Toddler size snappis
(If you use pfs), are those of you with older babies using these? I'm thinking it may be time. And actually, I think DD is outgrowing her GMD light browns (which I thought were supposed to last through PLing) 
And she's not even that big! I'm thinking maybe the toddler snappi may help though.
Thoughts?

Re: Toddler size snappis
We have one. ?It isn't that much bigger unstreched than a stretched baby one. ?
Try a different fold with the PFs. ?We still use the cb premium and they are MUCH narrower.?
11 months
Which fold would you rec? We've been doing the angel wing fold all along...
I've tried just sticking a trifolded pf in the cover, but it's bulky and bothers DD (as evidenced by the fact that she's constantly sticking her hand down her diaper back there and messing with it) LOL
I hate my Toddler Snappi. It has way less stretch then the regular snappis so in the end it's basically the same size except with a thicker (rubber?). 9x's out of 10 I reach for my ridiculously overstretched regular snappi over the toddler one. They even stopped carrying it at the 'local' diaper place near me because so many people complained about it.
Is it the older brown gmd? I have a dozen of the unbleached ones that I bought a year ago and they still fit N at 22 months and 85% for weight. I do the angel wing fold but after I've brought it up through his legs I sort of fan the trifolded section out a bit to give it extra width. They don't fit as well as they did back when he was 7 months but I still have room to work with them and doubt I'll have to buy another size up before he pl's.
Yeah, these are the older browns. I mean, I can make them work but they're just smallish now and it's more difficult to get a good fit. I snappi them on, but then the middle part droops down when she's standing (coverless) if that makes any sense.
I guess we'll stick with our regular snappis and I'll work on stretching them out some more
I'll have to see if he'll let me take pictures when I change him next to see if that helps you. I know that sag you're talking about because every time dh changes him his diaper does that but he puts them on all weird (I'm not saying that's what you're doing by any means because I'm sure that no one puts a diaper on like dh does).
Does she have a shorter rise? I don't ever get that sag in the front but I usually just leave it a bit higher in the back and then the snappi hits it just right at the front to keep everything flat.
You're saying I put on diapers weird?! LOL
I guess I need to change up the folds and how I'm putting them on her. It worked before but it's obviously not working well as she's growing. I'd love to see pics of pfs on an older baby! I should probably go searching for some too...
Not at all! I'm guessing that she has a shorter rise than ds or maybe that it's longer in the front then I leave it and that accounts for the sag.
DH definitely puts on prefolds weird. He basically lays him on the diaper, grabs the whole wad of prefold in the front and pulls it through his legs (no folding at all) and then snappies the whole mess together. Plus when he puts a cover on him it's hanging out everywhere unless it's a soaker. I really think he does it on purpose so that he won't have to change too many diapers!
