Anyone use Gro Baby cloth diapers?

Mila725

I am getting tired of spending tons of money on disposables and am thinking about switching over to cloth diapers.  Then today, I saw that they have a set of 3 Gro Baby cloth diapers on Baby Steals.  Can anyone tell me about these?  Good?  Bad?  Also, for those that CD, do you find it a pain to keep up with the laundry?  Thanks for any tips!

I didn't like them.  You are supposed to be able to use the outer shell 3 times (changing the insert), but he always soaked through it and we change him frequently.  I thought I'd like them, but was very disappointed.

We use the one size BG pocket diapers and are very happy with them.  I have 24 and do laundry every 2-3 days.

I just got rid of my GroBabys.  I didn't like the aplix on them.  I think one of the set of three is snaps, and that might be nicer but our grobaby was a constant diaper-train creator in the wash.

And I'd recommend trying this: https://jilliansdrawers.com/products/clothdiapers/tryclothfor10/tryclothfor10

We use pre-folds, BG3.0's, fuzzibunz one size.  I'd recommend one size diapers!!  We've been using them for 9 months  (8lbs to 18) and they supposedly go up to 35lbs.

Thanks for the input everyone!  And thank you also for the link to jilliansdrawers!  That's a cool trial offer!  I might have to try it out!

I second the BG 3.0's and the prefolds (we the ones from Greenmountaindiapers.com) we also like the BG sized AIO (all in ones) because they seem a bit more trim. The new Grobaby's (actually GroVia) sound a lot better than the GroBaby's like we have. The aplix on the front sticks to everything in the wash no matter what you do and gets worn out very quickly b/c of this. They've been sitting on my diaper shelves collecting dust mostly.
