Econobum system

In addition to making the Bum Genius and Flip diapering systems, Cotton Babies also produces Econobum. Econobum is a great name to describe this diapering system. It works well but is a no frills diapering system. You can get everything you need to diaper from birth to potty training for $99. Now do I think this system will fit well on a newborn, no but, starting around 9 lbs it will fit well. As with all one size systems they tend to fit better the bigger the baby gets. I use my econobums with prefolds and stay dry liners all available through the Bumgenuis line of products, well the prefolds are just prefolds but the stay dry liners can be gotten through Cotton Babies and other retailers like Kelly's Closet or Sew Crafty Baby. All of these sites also offer free shipping for the complete set and at least two of them offer free shipping on everything.

Pros:
Very well priced
Does a good job of holding in leaks
Can be used for a wide range of sizes.

Cons:
Not good for the newborn size
Only one set of snaps for waist sizing ( I like two so I can adjust the hips a little if I need too)
material is light weight ( It is durable though, I just like a heavier material)

I would recommend this system, especially if you feel overwhelmed by all of the choices available and are not sure if you want to spend a lot of money on getting started. Although for the ease of starting cloth diapering if you are nervous about it, I recommend pocket diapers then ease into prefolds and covers. Pockets closely resemble and go on like a disposable easy way to make the transition.
