For kiddos that started off with regular Gerber Goodstart Gentle, is the transition to this toddler version fairly seamless ?

I'd also like to know. I purchased 2 containers recently, but I haven't switched yet.

The regular Companion has a slightly thinner blade and a slightly smaller handle diameter with less of a "belly". This one is made for those working the building trades: in Europe they use these instead of a utility knife. If it seems your kid is going to grow up to have big hands then this is fine. It's also fine if thats not the case, as is the size on the regular companion. For most people it's more a matter of personal preference. Mora's site has specs/drawings that show the differences between them.

From what I know it is just a little different fabric and design. My 2 year old used it all the time and it didn't bother her in the least. Also why pay more for almost the same exact thing??

It depends on how loose your kiddos stools are. It did us fine unless my kiddo was sick and even at that I think I only had to hand wash 4 cloth diapers before throwing in the wash. I did not introduce solids for at least 6mos and that was just to get him used to different tastes. I think my kiddo was a year old before he was getting most of his nourishment from solids. We breast fed until the 4th birthday. I would say that if they are mostly runny otherwise we did fine. I must say that I was a finicky changer. I don't like to touch poo so we changed seconds after a BM.

Liz I'm registered for Summer Infant countered changing pad but I don't have it yet so I can't tell you if it will be a true match but I registered for it because I read in other comments that it was a good match .I can update you like in a month :)

That was the only downside: even newborn, at 22", the changing area was to small. I used a foam pad and covered it with another water resistant pad cut to size. Finally a receiving blanket to make it soft to the touch. After a couple of tries, I used the srea for storage and easy access to important supplies/clothes.

Thank you, curlygirl. As for leaving a toddler alone with a newborn, obviously not -- just taking every precaution necessary to prevent any mishaps ;) I appreciate your feedback on this sleeper as we decide what things to get for our baby on the way :)

my son sleeps on the toddler side and it is a bit softer after some use but still firm, not to soft at all. the single stage is infant side firm not toddler softer, just learned that with my 1yo when I got hers.

You have to be gentle with baby when you take him/her out this way. I have been able to at times when her feet aren't squirming around,but for the most part you do,still easy I can do it with one hand.

Yes, we use Gerber swaddlers with Velcro strips and put them on very snug. Have had no problems. The monitor will register the slightest movements.

I think it just is making the product user friendly for children just by implying the word kids. It is less intimidating sort of speak. The original works great. My incision is flat & smooth from repeated use.

I think they are worth the cost. I have never used Bummis or Bumpkins but these are much trimmer than Econobum prefolds. As for size, it really depends on how big you little one is. We are still using the small on our 7 month old but the medium works as well. With our daughter, who potty trained at 23 months, we never used bigger than the medium.

I would get the smaller rather than the toddler one. My daughter is turning 2 and she has had both for a while now, but she always ends up sleeping on the small one. The toddler version maybe to thick for her...

My 3+ yo has been using this toothbrush for over a year. He prefers it over the toothbrushes he has gotten from the dentist. He uses one at pre-school, where he "brushes" his own teeth. I also brush his teeth before bedtime. He doesn't seem to have a problem with the long handle. The bristle portion could be a bit smaller for him but it works.

Maybe if you're only carrying diapers and wipes, otherwise no. I'm actually having a hard time fitting everything for one toddler, but it's my full time bag. I'll definitely need to upgrade for 2.

yes it does lol I didn't know either the first time I went to purchase a toddler bed. Before long you'll be an expert on just about anything kid related trust me lol I made the switch with my daughter around 15 months and haven't had any problems.

I wouldn't say it's hard to adjust, but it isn't made to adjust on a daily basis. It is a little tricky to figure out at first but not impossible. And you set in once and leave it until your little one gets bigger. It's easier to do small fine tuning like to adjust for small growth or a big jacket. But readjusting to go from a small infant to an older toddler takes some work. The arm strap is one strap that goes from behind on shoulder down to behind the hip then comes back out behind the other hip back up to the other shoulder. Like a big U attached behind the bottom. So if you pull the right arm strap forward, the left gets pulled back. It's all one belt. So to adjust you have to get this lengthened then the clips where you want them. Then the crotch strap is its own adjustment. I wouldn't say it's hard but maybe a little confusing the first time. But all the other benefits of the stroller are well worth it. I love it for my 2 boys. I hope my explanation is understandable.
