Luvs Premium Stretch Diapers with Ultra Leakguards, Size 4 (22-37 Lbs), 180 Diapers

I have tried all kinds of diapers and none of them held as long as these did.
These stay dry all night and I have used them for years size 1 through size 4. These are what started giving my daughter ,and in turn me, good sleep all night long. During the day, she stayed dry even after multiple hours where other diapers would have already leaked. I notices the difference when I ran out of the trial pack I had bought and used a different well know brand of diapers.
I am having another one in a month and have bought Luvs already to go into my diaper bag.

I am invested in Leapfrog Leapreader which uses specific books and an interactive pen to "read" the books to my little one. I have been very happy with that and was looking for 3d objects to support that same concept. Leapfrog disappointed me on that front but then I found this product which follows the same principals.
It works very well I must say. Fun graphics on a 2 axis globe with bright colors really goes well with the kids. My LO was really excited to try it and having used the Leapreader, this was extremely easy to get used to. The size of the globe is larger than expected ,still it is very lightweight and my 5 year old can easily move it when needed. There are several modes for info and the pen is reasonably responsive.
A couple of quirks, the pen needs to be absolutely vertical to the plane being touched for it to register the touch. A larger opening might have fixed it, but that's an issue with may only be fixed in the upcoming versions. Besides a little bit of practice overcomes this issue. The other quirk is that the touch zones are large for areas not used very frequently. Like ,for me, India is an area of interest , but even though I touch various zones, it still gives me the same info. I understand most users will like details of US(which is definitely very detailed) , so that's only a nice to have as I understand having too detailed info of each country is extremely difficult. I would love to see this improvement in upcoming versions though.
Other than that, it a very fun and educational toy and does not disappoint.

I was skeptical of the design when I first saw it on Kickstarter. Sure it was small but I didn't think it was safe.
However now when I needed to make a trip and didn't wanna rent a car seat at crazy prices, I thought I'd give it a try.
The size is indeed quite small and easily fits in a tote or the outer zipper of a backpack. I had practiced it at home before we left so I didn't spend much time setting it up in the rental car. It was indeed safe and kept my child tethered safely. She didn't jerk forward when there were hard brakes and the adjustable back strap ensured the seat belt wasn't cutting into her neck.
It is not meant to replace a regular car seat as for the size, it cannot be enforced with a lot of foam for comfort. Also, the child isn't at the window level so missed the thrill of the ride. However the company has recently designed another car seat called HiFold which solves those problems although ,as expected, is larger than this.
For what this is meant to be, it solves the issues and is a great design. Seems sturdy as well so should last until my 5 year old outgrows this. Definitely recommended for travel.
