Bamboo Baby One Size Diaper Review

The Bamboo Baby One Size Cloth Diaper is fairly new on the market. It's made in Canada by Dri-Line Baby and retails for $21.95. We like to carry cloth diapers that are one size because many people (myself included) like the aspect of not having to size up and buy a new stash of diapers as baby grows. A one size diaper has snaps or adjustable leg elastic that are easily adjustable and accommodate babies of a wide weight range, typically 10-30 lbs or so. An All in One diaper is similar to a disposable diaper in the way that it is all one piece; thus you don't have to do any stuffing, covers, etc because it has a waterproof outer and absorbent inner. As it turns out, there aren't as many one size all in one cloth diapers as I thought there would be. So when I found the Bamboo Baby AIO Diaper, I was happy that it met these specifications and more.

Features:
Super strong velcro closures
That's right, this is tough stuff. I imagine a toddler that is prone to diaper stripping would have trouble with these dipes. The effort to get them off isn't frustrating for parents; it's simply about the same ease of use as snap diapers. The Bamboo Baby diaper hasn't taken off in popularity yet and there are few reviews on them. Perhaps this is because the first edition of bamboo baby had very weak aplix that didn't hold at all. Well, the problem has since been taken care of. These tabs are great! Another bonus is that the velcro is unexposed (covered in fabric) thus ensuring it lasts longer.
Fewer snaps to deal with
Have you ever put a one size diaper with a snap rise adjustment on baby only to pull on it for a tighter fit and have the snaps come undone? It gets a bit annoying. Well, the Bamboo Baby snaps are durable and seem to pop off much less than other brands I've tried (take for example, Bumgenius). Even if they do pop off, I like that there are only two snaps for each rise adjustment that would need re-snapping.
Three size options
The manufacturer suggests that the Bamboo Baby cloth diaper should fit most babies 8-34 lbs. This diaper has three rows of snaps for a comfortable fit of small, medium, and large. The small *could* fit a newborn but I think it may look a little bulky. Not more so than a bumgenius 3.0 though. For a better fit, I'd start using these at about 10 lbs.
Large laundry tabs
Laundry tabs are simply a patch that the velcro secures to when not on baby. This enables you to have no exposed velcro during washing, thus preventing "diaper chain" and "the fuzzies."
Bamboo Inner
I'm a huge fan of Bamboo fabric. It works great for cloth diapers because of its high absorbency, softness, breathability, and antimicrobial properties. It's also eco-friendly as it’s easily renewable. Dri-line doesn't claim that this product is organic. It's 80% Bamboo, 20% Polyester.
No exposed snaps
...meaning the snaps never touch baby. The soaker covers them so your baby will be comfortable and not get scratched.
Quick Dry Soaker
The soaker is sewn in at only one end. This is a bonus for a couple reasons. All in One's tend to take longer to dry. Dry time is reduced quite a bit faster when the soaker flaps up, as on the Bamboo Baby diaper. It also helps ensure the diaper gets thoroughly cleaned. And lastly, the design enables you to add extra absorbency when needed that isn't as likely to shift. So while you don't need to add anything to the diaper for proper absorbency, you do have that option. Simply add a doubler under the soaker for night time or heavy wetters.
Comfortable & Trim
This diaper is soft and cozy for baby. It has a trim design and fits well without extra "poof." It also has soft tabs. Typically diaper tabs are covered with the cloth part outlining the PUL. On the Bamboo Baby, they are made of a stretchy fleece type material to ensure comfort against baby. Although the tabs are a little large, they still ensure a proper fit and they're easy to grab. The Bamboo Baby also has comfortable leg gussets that help protect from leaks while being comfortable and snug on baby's legs.
Great Color Selection
The Bamboo Baby Diaper comes in 6 colors: orange, lime, blue, butter, white, and sage.

Cute assortment of colors

And what's a review without action shots? Okay so since I don't have a baby, I had to borrow some. Here are a few pictures of the Bamboo Baby...on a baby. (Courtesy of Bamboo Baby/Dri-Line Products.)



Overall, the Bamboo Baby is a quality diaper that is easy for mom, dad, and babysitters alike. I wish I could tell you how they performed but I haven't been able to try them out on a baby. Perhaps you could give them a try so you can let me know! I'm confident that they're a great product but I'll let you be the judge. You can win a bamboo baby one size diaper by entering our giveaway!
