Haha! I use baby dry too, it's probably just me but I just don't really see a MAJOR difference, I like them all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlers-vs-cruisers#post-2312599 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 11:15:30 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2312599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: and @Alba4: We use Baby Dry overnight. Once DD started sleeping on her stomach, she leaks out the front of the diaper with anything but Baby Dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlers-vs-cruisers#post-2312375 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 08:18:10 +0000 erinbaderin 2312375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used Swaddlers up until size 4 and then switched to Cruisers because that's what my husband bought (which....our son was 17 months old, how do you not know what kind of diapers we use?) and they seemed to fit him better. Also I think they're cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlers-vs-cruisers#post-2312358 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 08:02:31 +0000 Alivoo01 2312358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used both and prefer the swaddlers (he's currently a size 4 at 2 yo). But it could be that my lil man is on the skinnier side. I buy cruisers sometimes because you get more diapers per package.</p> <p>Cruisers recently advertised they don't sag as much as other diapers, which we have a huge problem with in Swaddlers so I'm giving Cruisers another shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlers-vs-cruisers#post-2312267 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 05:03:10 +0000 pinkb 2312267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used swaddlers from birth until they became mobile. I have experienced no difference in fit or the way they perform. The only difference I have seen is the cruisers don't sag so much when are moving around. And no wetness indicator like the swaddlers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlers-vs-cruisers#post-2312262 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 04:53:47 +0000 FaithFertility 2312262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just switched to cruisers had a box of 4's from baby shower that I just tried, they seem to work just as well as the swaddlers....although she had a 4 a.m. pee blow out this morning?!? But I blame that on DH putting her diaper on :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlers-vs-cruisers#post-2312256 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 04:12:30 +0000 Alba4 2312256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have switched to cruisers since they seem thinner and are a better fit for our active toddler. We use baby dry for over night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlers-vs-cruisers#post-2312237 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 00:19:47 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2312237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used cruisers but I like pampers baby dry! Used to like swaddlers when he was smaller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-swaddlers-vs-cruisers#post-2312233 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 23:57:00 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2312233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can anybody tell me what their experience has been with using Pampers Swaddlers versus Pampers Cruisers?</p> <p> We are getting ready to move DD into size 3 diapers which means that we could now potentially use Cruisers. We have been using Pampers Swaddlers since she was a newborn.</p> <p>DD has super chunky thighs, so I thought the Cruisers might fit her better. But she is only four months old so she is certainly not "cruising" yet! </p> <p> What has been your experience between the two styles? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1609380 Fri, 02 May 2014 15:31:10 +0000 Adira 1609380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swaddlers during the day, Baby Dry at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1609369 Fri, 02 May 2014 15:25:44 +0000 aegie 1609369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my kid is 23 months, 27 pounds and she's in size 4's.

Maybe in a month or two!</p> <p>@lawbee11: REALLY?! I had no idea. We will start doing that! Wait, nevermind. DH just said he already does that. Bummer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541616 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:16:46 +0000 lawbee11 1541616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Yeah, probably a couple more months before her LO is ready for that. Thanks for the shout-out, though :silly: </p> <p>@citymouse: I definitely think it's worth investing in a new swaddle. You've probably still got another couple of months of swaddling ahead of you! ETA: Also, if you velcro it before washing it that helps. Not sure if you already do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541611 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:13:42 +0000 Smurfette 1541611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: @redsmarties: well then that won't help the OP........ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541609 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:12:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1541609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: the ZipadeeZip! It's fantastic, but it's for transition out of a swaddle. It might work...but it doesn't give the real swaddled feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541608 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:12:52 +0000 lawbee11 1541608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Zipadee zip? We didn't start using it til we were ready to swaddle wean around 4 months. Before that we used the swaddle strap which was great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541599 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:10:38 +0000 swurlygurl 1541599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used receiving blankets until L was almost 5 months old! We were able to tuck her hands by her face. We did a double wrap to prevent her from breaking out. It took some time to learn how to get the wraps tight enough, but eventually we liked wrapping with blankets better than any swaddle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541598 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:10:33 +0000 Smurfette 1541598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@redsmarties: What is the that you and Lawbee11 use? Would that work? Or is that for later.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541585 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:07:11 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1541585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: we haven't used a woombie, but my best friend swears by hers, and her son is still using it at 7 months. Might be good to try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541581 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:05:42 +0000 citymouse 1541581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @Pumuckl: Do you think the Woombie is a good next option for us? He breaks out of the swaddle because he wants his fists right under his chin. So he wiggles the arm that goes against his body (like wraps around his belly area) until its loose, which then gives the outer arm a lot more room (because it is no longer pressing against the bottom arm) and then he usually settle with his hands right under his chin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541568 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 08:01:03 +0000 Pumuckl 1541568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: hahaha on your comment, I was gonna say it depends on how much you value sleep :) If your LO sleeps well without a swaddle I'd say you're good - if he doesn't then the new swaddle might be worth it.</p> <p>ETA: @Smurfette great minds :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541557 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 07:56:08 +0000 Smurfette 1541557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@citymouse: Well at 8 weeks, I know there was no way R was ready to sleep without a swaddle, so I would go ahead and bite the bullet and get another one.<br /> Sleep trumps money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-swaddleis-it-worth-it#post-1541553 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 07:54:20 +0000 citymouse 1541553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I haven't.

We currently use Ergo Swaddlers:</p> <p><a href="http://store.ergobaby.com/swaddlers" rel="nofollow">http://store.ergobaby.com/swaddlers</a></p> <p>However, the way it secures is velcro. And after many washings, and DS getting stronger, he is able to break out. The velcro isn't as sticky these days! Also, if he cries for more than a few minutes, he is a sweaty mess. </p> <p>I know most babies are done with their swaddles around 4 months, do you think it's worth it to get a different swaddle? I was thinking one of the lighter weight woombies. He loves to have his fists right under his chin. I know they aren't that expensive but I hate wasting money. Thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1215822 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 13:02:50 +0000 MamaMoose 1215822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Swaddlers during the day and Baby Dry at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1215779 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 12:45:36 +0000 purrpletulips 1215779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use BabyDry on my son who is a heavy wetter and have no problems. I found that with swaddlers or cruisers his pants would often feel damp. He's 14m but we've been using babydry since he was out of the newborn size. We do use Huggies Overnights for nightime though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1215578 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 11:12:28 +0000 cascademom 1215578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Swaddlers. For nighttime, we use Pampers Extra Protection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1215561 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 11:03:43 +0000 mediagirl 1215561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use Baby Dry because they're the cheapest normally. I just go by price per diaper. The newest batches have a strong baby powder smell to them but they still work great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pampers-size-4-swaddlers-baby-dry-or-cruisers#post-1215559 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 11:02:46 +0000 tinypiglet 1215559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No great suggestions from me. When blowouts happen frequently, though, I have learned it is usually time to go up a size. It is worth a try! Maybe just get a small pack, or take a few from a friend to try and see what you think? </p>
