Baby Find: It’s Time for a Change
Category: Children Diapering
What: Ubi Changing Table
Why: Changing diapers in our household is sometimes like a World Wrestling Federation event. And it’s been this way since my child learned to turn over. It makes this necessary ritual frustrating, and potentially messy.
For these reasons, I’d love the Ubi changing table even if it wasn’t so darn cool looking. Made of bent wood and upholstered with modern patterns that wipe clean, this portable changing table makes the entire diaper-changing process so much easier. A built-in diaper dispenser automatically feeds a diaper to the top of the table. A fastener holds the diaper in place—simply put baby on top and voila! Diaper changes are that much easier and I don’t have to worry about fumbling for a new diaper between changes. But (for me) the clincher is that the Ubi looks so darn modern and stylish in our nursery.
Price: $119 for the deluxe table

Tell Us: Would You Use Cloth Diapers?
Category: Children Diapering Poll
Before my daughter was born, I approached this subject with friends with young children and was advised that cloth diapers are not a good idea. They’re messy, leak and are, according to some sources, not any better for the environment than disposables. I was also told that babies get diaper rash more frequently with cloth diapers, they’re bulky and less comfortable for baby, and they require extra time and energy, especially if you wash them yourself. Basically, friends told us we’d be a little crazy to sign up for cloth diapering along with new parenting.
 Having considered all of these points, I just couldn’t stand the thought of my daughter’s waste wrapped in plastic in a landfill for the next three hundred years.
Therefore, we took the gamble and invested in cloth diapers. After much research, we chose fuzzi bunz. They offer beautiful, functional diapers in a rainbow of colors. When the gorgeous bouquet arrived in the mail I was so excited. I tucked them all into a big basket and showed a friend the arc of pretty little diapers. She rolled her eyes and said, “Oh yeah. I’m sure that’s exactly how it’s going to be.”
I have to say, it IS just how it’s been. I have LOVED cloth diapering, and 17 months later, I’ve never purchased a disposable for out little girl.
The white microfleece that touches her skin is incredibly soft. Forget about pins; these diapers are fashioned so that they grow with baby, featuring a multitude of snaps. And the color choice (they now offer some prints, as well) is so sweet; they negate the need for diaper covers.
They’re not cheap, (they generally run about $18/diaper and $5 per insert) but they’ve paid for themselves dozens of times over. Their re-sell value is terrific (check out eBay), and I love that she’s so comfortable. As far as washing, I find it to be a non-issue. I’m doing so much laundry, anyway, I hardly notice the difference.
So, I’ve become a cloth fan. And some of the friends who advised us against them have had their second. Guess what? They’re using fuzzi bunz.
So tell us.

DadFinds Friday: Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag
Category: Children Diapering Dad Mom Fashion Diaper Bags Travel
 What: Bisadora Daddy Diaper Bag
Why: When I got this Bisadora Bag, my husband said, “Can that be my diaper bag to use?” Of course it can. Well made with roomy zippered pockets and padded chest strap, the Bisabora Baby Bag looks like a trendy satchel. It easily stores diapers and travel necessities, and one doesn’t look like a mobile nursery carrying it around. A couple key features: an inside Velcro holder for a passie, and the bag sits upright on its own. Good thing Bisadora is thinking for you.
Price: $59

MomFinds Travel Week: Style for a Change
Category: Children Diapering Solutions Travel
 What: Goober Baby Coordinating Travel Change Set
Why: You don’t have to stick to an ordinary changing pad and diaper clutch when you’re out and about. Take a break from the bland. Goober Baby has the line on chic sets for mommas on the go. What I dig about these products is how totally together and stylish I look when using them, not at all like I just dashed out of the house without brushing my teeth.
Start with the Change Purse that holds a few diapers and wipes and can stand on its own or slip easily into your handbag. Add a velvety plush Go Baby Change Pad, with soak proof liner. You can also stash a diaper and wipes into the travel pad, then tie it shut with the attached ribbon. And for all your other goodies, there’s a coordinating tote with a clear vinyl front, making it easy to locate that favorite monkey rattle or emergency binky.
Each product is handmade, and the coordinating prints are available in sorbet, coffee, lemon and candy. Or mix and match from tons of other fabrics.
Price: Change Purse $20, Go Baby Pad $30, Tote Bag $18

What: 
That’s why I love the Toddler Changing Kits from Bumble Bags. These ingenious bags have multiple pockets (including a central mommy pocket to hold keys, lipstick, and money), but also unfold to create a large changing area that makes it easy to change baby anywhere (see photo). It’s also water and stain-resistant. Plus, the adjustable strap means that you can carry it like a purse or hang it from your stroller.
