Cloth Diapering

Sunbaby Diapers?

Anyone use these? Or the Alvas? Trying to figure out what to get and I'm leaning toward pockets. These seem to be a lot cheaper than most so I'm wondering if you like them?

  • I'll answer here regardless :)

    I have 2 Sunbabies. I haven't had them very long but I do like them. The fleece pilled pretty fast but have otherwise been just fine. Definitely worth the price IMO.

  • My Alva baby has cross over snaps to fit skinnier/smaller baby. (remember there are TONS of different styles of alvas so this may not be much help. - sunbabies offers two different sizes - 1 or 2   They both have what they call hip snaps and one row of top snaps.  Both have four of these.   My alva is suede cloth, my sunbaby is fleece - both about the same level of softness.  The Alva is about 1/2 in wider in the crotch which makes it easier to stuff - also the Sunbabies appears to have wider elastic.

    Both offer bamboo or combo microfiber/bamboo diaper inserts.

    The Alva has a back internal flap to "hold down/cover" the insert, while the sunbabies back flap is external. 

     I have not had any leaks in either diaper. 

    I would buy the alva over the sunbabies because alva provides many many different options for diapers whereas the sunbabies has one style provide in two sizes (alva even offers double gussets diapers).  Alva baby also has specific newborn diapers available - then you move up to regular one size.  Sunbaby you start with size one then move to size 2 - I'm not sure as to the weight limits on either size, I couldn't find it quickly on their web page..   if you haven't check out each website.  www.alvababy.com  www.sunbabydiapers.com   - also, free shipping from Alvababy - I don't know about sunbaby. 

    Hope this helps some.
