Told you they were great!lol

My daughter likes the cute little frogs on them.

Cheers Dee.

Hi,

I use safeway select nappies & find them great. They are bigger than huggies so you would probably only need the crawler's. Huggies newborns are too small for my daughter but the safeway select fit newborn fit her great.

Hope that helps.

Cheers Dee

thanks but I've found that both the cosifits and the mamia nappies in crawler size are quite a lot bigger than the huggies ones; I'm sure the other brands are too - so it works out a lot cheaper per nappy to buy another brand of crawler size than go up to toddler in huggies

apparently you can exchange unopened boxes for a bigger size at most places

I'm usually a believer in you get what you pay for - you can't charge a premium price for an inferior product and maintain sales if there is a cheaper alternative of equal quality - so went straight for the huggies when bub was born, but sounds like it's worth trying the coles ones and the snugglers as well 

thanks - might be worth the trek to woolies (woolies=safeway, right?)

the problem with going the next size up is that there are less in the box so the price goes up - from 32 cents a nappy to 40 cents a nappy, and that's at $28.95 a box which is the lowest price I have ever seen

at 7.5kg I don't want to go to toddler size (recommended weight 10 to 15 kg) if I can keep him in crawler size in another brand

on the bright side I've just realised that when he starts solids in a few weeks I can probably go back to huggies so I can use the ones I already have

thanks - I haven't made it to aldi yet - might just buy one bag and see how it goes

thanks - Woolies isn't very convenient for me to get to though... but then aldi is worse

the cosifits leaked overnight but I think that was because Matthew was lying down

Sorry, did not see your Q until now.  Kaelan is now 8 months (just turned) and i'm using the Large size 7-15 kg (i think thats the weight) and they are in a green packet.  I usually just buy two bags at a time which costs about $32, i haven't found that he grows that quickly i can't use up a bag before i go on to the next size, so i'm sure it'll be fine if you get a couple of bags at a time.  Can't remember how long he was in Crawlers for exactly.

i also try to minimise my trips to Aldi...i usually don't buy much else there, although my hubby likes to shop there!!

interesting - on the various forums I googled, most people seemed to say that snugglers weren't as good as huggies (they are made by the same company so one is lower quality than the other), but maybe it's just a perceptual thing... sounds like it will be worth making a special trip to aldi tomorrow

probably still at least another month until we start solids!
