Can these covers be used while the cord stump is still healing? By folding down the top or something?

I am also not totally sure. We also used disposables for the first week. We had not yet discovered these. These have a pretty low rise though. They have a much lower rise than our one size pocket diapers did. I would guess that they would work fine for an average size newborn.

It doesn't snap down like some newborn covers but it does have a pretty low rise. If you need it a little lower, you can tuck the top down between the baby and prefold/insert, I haven't had any leakage doing this.

I'm not totally sure because we used disposables for the first week or two. However, in general, they fit below the belly button. I've heard it described as "bikini cut" when you use with trifolds.

yes, it might be a little work, but it could be done. although the way it looks, you might break it to the point where putting the cover back on won't be possible.

I have not actually folded mine while it was on, so I can't speak to that situation. The cover on it is pretty thick compared to cheaper pads, so it seems less likely to catch fire.

No, but in my experience - I had to fold down all of mine because even the bottom of the "notch" rubbed the cord and caused it to bleed. Same for the disposables for newborns too. All babies are shaped differently I guess.

Maybe. I would fold a flat sheet around and over the pad, so the pad doesn't tear. But I agree, these clips don't open that much.

I don't know that you can totally. I found by stretching it pretty tight the folds were definitely less noticeable and the material is flexible enough to be able to do that. Hope this works out for you!

James, I used stakes and bungie (sp?) cords to hold it down. The issue is when you apply tension to the cover by way of the grommets, it lifts the edge of the cover anywhere from an inch to 2 inches (depending upon terrain and how much tension you have on the grommets). This will allow dirt, debris, leaves, etc. to slide under the cover. My issue is leaves so I bought the tubes and they worked great in holding down the edges all the way around. Now, you can use anything you want that has sufficient weight and durability due to weather conditions where you live. The cover and tubes lasted all fall and winter with no issues except one of the grommets pulled loose from the cover. Hope this helps and if you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask. Jim R.

yes unless you fold the cover in half and use it that way for another angle

I folded over the edges about 3x and pushed the pins through it. One could do a quick stitch if you want it to be tight and clean but the lazy fold over has worked just fine. Too long might b ok as it just hits the ground and or keeps bugs from getting in. But you could probably fold as well.

No. You can fold it up (but, of course, you can do that with any electrical cord). It comes with a reasonable twist tie ... perhaps if you keep that around (knowing how much cord you need in the "maximum extension" instance) things will appear neater.

I usually cut the wrap around area off. It fits perfectly that way and isn't too time consuming. I haven't tried to fold them but that might work. The covers do not wrap around the back that's why I tend to cut mine. Hope this helps :)

I honestly haven't tried yet. I would imagine yes, but you may have to fold ends first. I'll try & let you know.

I would say no. Especially if the cord is thick like most computer cables are. You might get the plug to fit but then you won't be able to get the cover over if the cable is big. It's ok for laptop cords, lamp cords, and I have one on my sewing machine. But if the cable/cord is even slightly bigger then it won't fit in the tiny hole at the bottom that is has too to snap the cover on.

Yes, you can fold them down when not in use. Loosen the clamps, swing them down, retighten.

You can, but i wouldn't recommend doing it very often. Like the rest of this couch, the covers are poorly made and with several washes, i bet they'd be prone to tearing (I'm basing that on me unzipping them to be washed and looking at thow poorly sewn they are). I've washed them, but i'd really just suggest NOT BUYING THIS COUCH.

Good question as I knew a man who lost a baby who bit a cord. Would think this would be a good solution. Good luck.

I haven't thought about doing that. I don't think that would work because the hole at the neck is smaller than at the bum. I was not very impressed with this product. I used it once and was so disappointed I just donated it to Goodwill.
