I wasn't sure what all the hype was about but figured since everyone loves them if get some. We have already gotten tons of use out of them! They make a handy cover for nursing too. Under $150: Keekaroo changing pad. My son prefers to pee when you take off his diaper, so I love that you can just wipe it clean! Too soon to tell what else we'll love.
