Oh, how I love my Duo Wraps! I wish I would have gotten a couple of these to start with as Eli is on the biggest setting on the size 1 already but, I am sure it will still fit him for a few more months he is only about 13-14 lbs and it states size one goes up to 18 lbs or about 9 months old. Ellie is on the middle setting so she certainly has more room to grow. I just love these diaper covers!
Duo Wraps have built in leg gussetts that keep EVERYTHING in! I really like that feature. With these there is no having to check and readjust to be sure the cover is fitting well around the leg and over the hip but the gussetts fit so nice around the bottom of the leg that you just don't have to worry about it! Another plus is that the baby has a bit more moveability because the gussetts allow more give or wiggle room with out any constriction on movement.
I believe that the Duo Wrap in size 1 would most definitely fit a newborn and that is saying something for an adjustable sized diaper. Duo wraps are not One Sized but rather two sized that give you 6 different sizes over just 3 different sizes. I have used my Duo Wraps over prefolds, stay dry liners similar to the Flip Stay Dry liners, and over a Thirsties Fab Fitted. The only things to note are with my stay dry liners they are so think because they are made of microfiber topped with microfleece are that you may be able to go down a size because of the thinness of the insert. Then with the Fab Fitted you may have to go up a size depending on the size of your fitted. I have a small fitted and need to go up a size on Ellie. Thirsties is coming out with a new duo sized fitted so look for those in the near future. With the prefold I find they fit right where they should.
The only thing I don't like is that the white trim all around the diaper stains easily. But my solution is to just put them in the sun to dry on the line and the stain comes right out. Not so sure what I will do in the winter. Maybe a little OxiClean spot remover or just wait until Spring comes again.
I like these covers so much I have already order two in the size two so I will have a couple Duo Wraps to use until they potty train. They are very affordable at $12.25 - 13.25 per cover.
Here are a couple pictures of Eli and Ellie sporting their Duo Wraps. Eli is in a "Storm" with aplix and Ellie is in a "Melon" with aplix closure.
