The best cloth diaper system on the market in my opinion. These diapers fit well on many different baby body types from chubby, chunky, to skinny. They come in only 2 sizes that fit baby from 7-18 lbs and 18-35 lbs. They do not leak and are very absorbent. That being said they have different inserts (bamboo, hemp, 2 layer, 3 layer, boosters) so the user can choose the level and type of absorbency they prefer. My favourite part is the great colours that do not fade. These diapers keep looking new wash after wash. They have a soft but waterproof fabric lined with super soft microfleece- so nice against baby's skin. Also they allow the user to choose two different cloth diapering methods: you can use them as an envelope and insert system- changing the insert with each diaper change but not the cover (envelope), or as an all-in-one system where you stuff the cover with the insert and change the complete diaper with every change. With the all-in-one option you will have to buy more envelopes (covers) but some people just prefer this method- more like disposable diapering. I have tried a lot of cloth diapers and these are my favourite by far! -

Although this product is quite pricey at regular price ($99.99) at Babies R Us, it is an awesome activity gym and great if you can get it on sale. I love that it grows with your baby. It has a tummy time pillow for babies under 3 months and has a "music and light" display that has two sides, one for newborns that like black and white patterns and the other for older babies with lots of colours. The music and light pad/display can either be activated by parent when baby is young (to encourage or prolong tummy time and the get head up) and then by baby himself (large red, glowing button at floor level) at around 4 months of age and older. It also says "hello" to get your baby to interact with it. I also find it sturdier than other activity gym/mats and can stand up to the abuse by an older infant (6-12 months). I also love how it has 2 mirrors, one at the apex of the arches and one detachable mirror with velcro that you can position where baby likes it. It is also really easy to transport by folding together and snapping securely with the toy arches acting like a handle for carrying over your shoulder. We bought this product when our baby became too tough on our smaller activity gym at 3 months old and he played with the Tiny Love Jungle Park gym at a friends house and loved it. Our baby is 6 months and still loves this toy.
Summary:
- easy to transport
- grows with baby from 0-12 months
- different sounds, textures, colours for sensory stimulation
- good quality toys that hang from toy bar (cow bell with crinkle paper, wiggling elephant, lion rattle, teething leafs)
- electronic sound and light display with side for young babies (B&W;) and older babies (coloured)
- a bit expensive ($50-$100 depending on store/sale)

I totally agree with the above user. Despite what Lululemon claim the quality of their products has decreased significantly. My first pair of pants was purchased in 2005 and they look the newest of all of my pants and I have at least 6 pairs. My newest Lulu pants have worn the worst. Now covered in tiny balls, lint and everything sticks to them. They have lost all their "wicking" capability and all this despite very good care practices. I NEVER use fabric softener or dryer sheets, I wash with like fabircs and lay flat to dry. I think they have changed how they make them. And I also heard they now manufacture them in China, which may explain the decrease in quality. Too bad because they are awesome when new, I love the fit and style. I have stopped spending the money on this product now that their quality is not the same. -
