[Toddler Size 5-Pack] Snappi Cloth Diaper Fasteners - Replaces Diaper Pins - Use with Cloth Prefolds and Cloth Flats

I was unsure if I should try the toddler size or not. I have been cloth diapering for 12 years now and have only ever used standard sized snappis. My babies aren't the biggest, so I wasn't sure. I decided to try them and just see how they worked out. They are barely wider than a standard snappi. They have maybe 1/4" on each side arm longer. They are, however, much thicker. The material is a denser, less stretchy material that withstands the repeated stretching a bit better. I haven't had any issues with standard sized snappis breaking, but the thickness of these assures me that I won't be snapping them. I think they'd be more appropriately labeled "heavy duty" instead of "toddler sized", because it isn't so much about the size as it is about the added thickness of the bands.

Summary: Savs yourself some money and get the toddler size, not original size snappi for your newborn. Boingos are good for expanding bellies but it is not very stretchy and is a bit dangerous.........Unless you have a premie, the toddler size will fit just fine for a newborn (my baby was 7lbs) and will last you longer than the original sized snappi. The original size was too tight for a prefold osocozy for my baby at around 2 months (12lbs) and left red marks from the diaper being too tight, but the 15-30 lb prefolds were too big for her and the snappi did not stretch far enough for the 15-30lb osocozy prefolds. At 3 months, the toddler sized snappi is reaching its maximum capacity as it is already starting to be a tight fit for the osocozy 7-15lb prefold. Whomever designed the snappis must have had babies with smaller waists. I wish snappis had longer elastics than even the toddler size (its not long enough for toddlers in my opinion).Boingo pro's and con's:The Boingo keeps up with expanding waist lines as the baby grows (can even be used on adult diapers too, I suppose), but they kept falling off when my baby kicked her legs too hard. Also, when I carried my baby, the Boingo rubbed between my baby's body and mine and unhooked from the diaper, even though I tightened the Boingo as much as I could (this has already happened so many times in two weeks, I can't even keep count). When the boingo lets go, it bites into soft skin, resulting in the boingo biting into my baby and her crying in pain while I carry her. Also, tightening the boingo is more time consuming than tightening a snappi since you have to go back and forth between the left side and right side to tighten progressively tigher each time. Unfortunately, the Boingo is hard to stretch. The snappi has openings where I can stick in a finger to stretch the snappi easily to tighten the fit of the prefold, but the boingo has a cute but useless little star which is difficult to grip without poking myself (I've poked myself with the boingo many times trying to stretch it to get a tighter fit in the diaper). In addition, the boingo has two pieces required to fasten a diaper (while the snappi has one) which is one more item i have to keep track of (or which i frequently lose and have to spend time looking, while hoping baby doesn't pee/poo while I'm looking) while changing diapers in the dark while the baby sleepsTwo hands vs one hand:I can remove and change my baby's diaper with one arm holding the baby and the other hand holding the snappi. This is super helpful if you are doing elimination communication. For the boingo, i have to put the baby down as fastening the boingo requires two hands. I can unfasten with one arm holding the baby but its much more difficult to do with boingo. I cannot reassemble a diaper with the boingo while holding the baby.While the toddler sized snappi is the clear winner between the original sized snappi, toddler sized snappo and boingo war, this only applies from age 0 to 4 months. Afterwards, boingo might be the only fastener to fit and I'll have to return to using the boingo, as inconvenient as it is.

Great Idea but the ends come off too often. Need to make them permanent fixture so the ends do not come off, unless your goal is to sell more product without quality. This was an excellent idea just needs a little modification so the end pieces do not come off.

I skipped the infant size and bought these. they work perfectly for small babies. They are easy to use compared to pins. I would buy them again. They don't work on tightly woven diapers like flannel or flour sack fabrics. They seem to work best on the loosely woven prefold cottoninserts.

We have been cloth diapering for 19 months and the snappi baby makes a world of difference! It makes securing flat folds and prefolds a cinch and they last forever. We are still on our first pack from19 months ago, but my sister is having a baby and wants to do cloth so I bought her these! Could not be happier with this product.

I honestly couldn't see the difference in size between these and the small sized ones I was replacing. Maybe the small ones had stretched out (to be fair, we replaced because they had started breaking), but I love Snappis and it made sense to grade up since our child is getting bigger.

With my arthritis, I can no longer push pins through the layers of cloth diaper. Snappi is easy and safe to use. It does NOT damage the diaper in any way.

These are the best prefold diaper closures. I made the mistake of buying cheaper ones when we lost a few of them, and I ended up buying these again.

I accidentally purchased these without knowing they were for toddlers but they work just fine for my newborn too.Won’t need to buy a new size once he’s bigger

These are great. They have a strong grip without going through the cloth and they stretch for easy use, yet hold thick and heavy prefolds extremely sturdily

Perfect - holds Terry square nappies perfectly. A bit longer than other ones I have bought previously - that’s quite helpful. Great quality.

Great, holds the nappy together though the grippy bit on one came off pretty soon & i keep pricking my finger on them -sharp!

These are great, they hold stockings up, they hold naughty bras together, give me time and I will find more uses.
