Don't put too much stock in Consumer Reports-- they really don't know a quarter as much about car seats as a car seat tech does!  CPSTs seem to like the True Fits, Diono/Radians, Graco MyRide, Complete Air, but really......

I'd try pre-rinsing the BM diapers in the toilet before the dry pail. Then wash a hot wash with regular Tide liquid, then a plain hot wash with nothing. Charlie's never got my diapers clean enough. Once a month a glut of bleach can go a...
