i was going to order some cpf just to have around and i ran across growmearainbow.com where she sells cpf that have gussetts around the legs so they are kind of like fitteds and i assume there is no folding involved. since my dd is 18 mo i thought this might be worth the extra $3 - anyone use pre-fitteds before? is it worth the extra few bucks, or should i just get some reg pf? TIA!

I

my prefitteds from GMAR!!! No folding (unless you like a shorter rise, which I will fold down the rise a bit on my premium prefitteds because I like a lower rise)... plus, if you're more into pins and like just one pin, you can always get them with extended wings!

I just love the extra insurance of elastic at the legs.

I have 2 prefitteds from growmearainbow.com and they're great, Im not too good at getting prefolds on so these are fantastic for me since theres no folding involved (I have a wriggly 18 month old too), but they're still nice and simple like a prefold. I really want to get more to increase my stash (I mainly use pockets).

Just edited to add that I have the premium size with extended wings (definetly get these) and I'll think these will fit for a loooong time, I tried one on my 30lb 3yr old and it fit great with room to grow (she is slim-average build).

See, I'm probably going to be the lone dissenter here, but I just am not crazy about prefitteds, or altered prefolds to include all variants thereof

. I don't like the elastic at the legs because it wears out over time, and that's one of the many reasons I love, adore, and use prefolds exclusively. They also just don't have the simplicity to me, or the versatility of prefolds. I have no problem folding, and since you still have to use a closure I just don't find them any easier than regular PFs.

I just started posting here and I have to say the prefitteds ROCK!!!! I love them!
When my son was a newbie, I used regular CPFs. Then he started the Crocidile Death Roll... and I needed to slap a diaper on him fast. I use them under Baby Soft Wraps and Mother-ease covers. I have also used them under Prowraps and BSWWs. They are trim, trim, trim, contain the nasty teething poops, slap on fast, go off fast, dry quickly and wash easily.
I like that they have a little extra "bling" and her prints are wonderful! I just ordered two with fabric on them. I normally hate hinding pretty fitteds under covers, like why bother with the extra $$$ if no one is going to see it, but these have enough color to give me my pretty diapers without my husband moaning that I spent $$$ on dipes no one is going to see.
So, YES they are worth the extra $3! Heck, they are worth an extra 20, IMO!

okay, 3 out of 4 say yes, so for $5 bucks a pop, i'll at least try it!! thanks ladies!!!

Prefitteds rock! They are sooo trim & easy to use & clean.

I have some GMAR infant ones that Ellery just outgrew (didn't get the ext. wings DOH!)....so I order the trimfitted ones. I can't wait!!! So, yes I prefer prefitted over the standard PF.

my dd is only like 22 lbs - do you think i need the premium suze with extended wings?

 

[judybean]

Katherine is ... heck, *maybe* 22 pounds (she's 15 months old on Friday)... just long and skinny. She can wear infant prefolds still. But infant prefitteds get pretty small. I'd go with premiums.

 

[mamajea]

Yep get the premiums with extended wings, my 18 month old is only about 21 pounds and thats what I have for her, the wings cross over slightly when I snappi it but I like that because I know theyll fit for a long time (and part of the reason I have trouble with normal prefolds is because I cant get the snappi to hold the edges without it being super tight and cutting into her tummy.....but thats just me because Im hopeless with prefolds, I wish I wasnt though because I love the idea of them).

Another rec for prefitteds...awesome!

I also like the trimfolds! Quick and easy for my toddler!

 

[Got_Cloth]

Ok Call me strange

: I LOVE my prefolds!!!! They are so verstile to me and with a snppi hubby gets it right away!!!! He actaully has an easier time with prefolds than he does AIO's
Personnlay I think emma likes to mess with him, and she always takes her diapers off when its his shift LOL
3 years into Cding, I make diapers and yet I reach for prefolds everyday

 

[3 Little Monkeys]

I really like prefitteds, but only have a few - prefolds are just as easy for me now - it takes practice though. I like the look of a prefold folded around dd's little bum

and the way they look on the line

and all neatly folded in a stack ready to go on that little bum

I love love love my prefolds
