The backpack straps are padded and thick.

We love the grab handle.

The shoulder strap is super padded too.

Features also include:
4 pockets on the inside
Picture pocket and one long zipper pocket
A mommy pocket
Metal feet on the bottom to make it sturdy
Removable messenger straps, removable backpack straps

Basically, it works just like a pull up, but is much more absorbent (as in — your kid can sleep in it and it won’t leak all over the place). You can also just slide it onto a child that’s lying down (there are tabs you can easily take apart to remove (or apply the diaper). We tested the Huggies Slip-ons at home (during playtime, mealtime, naptime and at night), at the park and on the road (we went up to my inlaws’ house in upstate NY) – so I feel we tried out every possible scenario a parent may have and I was really pleased how the Slip-ons performed. No leaks, no blowouts that leaked.

While I’ve used pull-up training diapers with my older children (my 3 1/2 year old still naps and sleeps in them), I know that they are work well.. to a point. They can’t handle what a regular diaper can — but the Huggies Slip-ons did. The cost is more expensive than the regular Huggies diapers I usually use, I found it was worth it to have for those times when my little guy will not lie flat for a diaper change or when we are on the go! And they were absolutely perfect for the park — it was such a relief to just be able to stand my son up and change his diaper at the park with the Slip-ons. If you’ve ever diapered a baby on your lap on in your stroller (we’ve ALL done it), the Huggies Slip-ons will make your life so much easier!

They’re designed for babies from 12 to around 36 months.

But I wanted to mention something pretty cool I noticed while there because I wish this had existed when my kids were in diapers.  Diapers.com rewards you for shopping and being loyal to them.  Here’s how it works:  Join the Diapers.com loyalty program and you will get a discount on diapers each time you purchase!  The first time, you’ll get $10 off as you’re a first time customer.  For each additional order, you’ll get $5 off a pack of diapers.  $5!  That’s a pretty sweet amount when it comes to a pack of diapers.  Oh, and did I mention that they offer free shipping on orders over $49?

They also have insanely fast shipping.  It’s 2-day shipping but I have yet to have any of my shipments take more than 24 hours and I’ve ordered a number of times now.  Pretty nifty, especially when you’re in a rush to get a new pack of diapers, eh?

This review is along the same lines.  Beyond diapers, Diapers.com has an entire Green Baby section where those of you trying to go more eco-friendly can shop conveniently for a wealth of awesome green products.  I myself went shopping for my kids and I don’t even have kids in diapers anymore!

Here’s a pict of some of the items I bought.  I’ve been wanting to try the Baby Silk Sunscreen Towelettes for ages, and I’ll be replenishing the hand sanitizer with some CleanWell and Babyganics Hand Sanitizers.

And I scored this great collection of organic snacks for my kids – clearly Cole loves everything I purchased. (His favorite are the Clif Bar Twisted Fruits)

The prices are competitive and it’s just so great to have free shipping and get it in two days on your doorstep.  Talk about convenience at its finest.

Giveaway: I have $100 Diapers.com credit to giveaway to one lucky Mommies with Style reader for you to spend on green and other baby products!  Contest ends May 9, 2011.  One winner will be selected at random and picked after that time.

Good luck!

When my son was born I found myself changing him mostly in his pack and play. It worked great and I found it very useful. Then, way too soon, he got too big and weighed too much for me to change him there. I tried many things, but all just got dirty and messy with dirty diaper “residue”. I was always making a mess. I had a changing table upstairs, but I really needed something easy downstairs. I was stuck! That’s why I was so happy that I found Patemm changing mat. It solved my problem perfectly!

Even though I found the pad most useful at home, the Patemm Pad is a smart, stylish and practical solution to the diaper bag. It is a patented, award-winning design that makes changing your little one quick and simple when you are on the go. The round design is great for moving babies, and it serves as an all-in-one carrier for diapers, wipes, and even a change of clothes. The little pockets can accommodate all of your changing must haves.  Best of all it folds down nice and small!

There are three different collections, all with a great array of patterns and colors.

• Laminated Cotton ($63)
• GOTS 100% Organic Cotton ($55-$88)
• 100% Regular Cotton ($68-$70)

One great thing about this product is that it is mom invented. I am learning fast that some of the best products out there were invented by women who saw a need for a certain item, so they just decided to make it themselves! That was the case with the Patemm changing pad.

One lucky reader will win a Patemm Changing pad in a Gender Neutral Orange Signature Circles pattern! (Winner must be a US resident) To enter, go to the Patemm Website and leave a comment telling me which collection and pattern is your favorite! A winner will be chosen on Sunday May 8th!

The Patemm changing pad is so versatile and useful. It would make a great shower gift for any mom to be! Good luck to all who enter!

I was provided with a Patemm changing pad for the purposes of this review. As always all thoughts and opinions are my own.

But I wasn’t familiar with their Gentle Wash and Shampoo. My 6 month old has been getting eczema and it seemed to be more pronounced after a nursing session, which led me to make sure all my clothes and sheets were washed an allergen and perfume -free detergent. When that didn’t stop his reaction, I had to examine what I was using to cleanse my own body. BabyCenter had recently sent me samples of Aquaphor’s healing ointment and their Gentle Wash and Shampoo, so I decided to try the Gentle Wash and Shampoo and see if that changed anything. So I switched it for my brand and it really helped my baby’s face clear up. So I started using the Gentle Wash and Shampoo on the baby and I saw even more of an improvement. The eczema is basically gone and I’m thrilled.

Aquaphor has a Mom’s Soothing Center on their site, that offers tips, tricks, and advice to get moms through their baby’s first year – go to http://Aquaphorhealing.com.  You can also find a coupon for $1 off. BabyCenter also has a great Comfort Zone Group in  BabyCenter Community, sponsored by Aquaphor, which is a place to get a some of relief from the everyday mom challenges. You can discuss fussy babies, bathing challenges (luckily kid #3 still likes the tub), teething, sleep trouble, and skin related issues.

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by BabyCenter in conjunction with the BabyCenter Blog Network. I was compensated and supplied with a 3 oz tube of Baby Aquaphor, two .35 oz tubes and an 8 oz bottle of Gentle Wash and Shampoo. As always, all opinions and thoughts are my own.

When it comes to preparing to have a baby, what item comes to mind that you will most definitely use the most? Well diapers of course!! Being  a new mom, I have come learn first hand how many diapers one ACTUALLY uses in one day…and boy is it alot!!! That’s why I was so excited to receive my Chic Mama Diaper cake! Not only is it super cute, but it also is extremely functional. And that is why this diaper cake makes the perfect gift to any expecting mama to be!

Chic Mama was founded by a wife and mother, who took her great diaper cakes that she gave to friends, into a successful business! What started as a business of diaper cakes has now expanded to include many other great gifts such as handbags, totes, diaper bags, baby gear and clothing. If you want to go a little fancier you can even get a towel cake made! A perfect place to shop for any expecting mama.

I received the Anthony Diaper Cake ($65) just days before giving birth to my son. And it was great because when I got home, I had everything I needed to get started in terms of diapers and baby soaps and lotions once I got home. That’s why something like this makes a great shower gift! Each cake is a little different. So what comes with the Anthony cake?

60 – 65 Pampers Swaddlers diapers size 1 (8-14 lbs)

Johnson’s Baby Shampoo (1.5 oz)

Johnson’s Baby Lotion (1 oz)

Johnson’s Baby Baby Wash (1 oz)

Johnson’s Baby Powder (1 oz)

Johnson’s Desitin Sample (1 oz)

Cream Silk Gerbera Daisy

Crinkle paper

Premium decorative ribbon and bows

Ingredient card

All ingredients make mommy’s first days home a little easier. But don’t think you HAVE to use the cake…it can certainly remain in tact and be kept as a decoration. I know it was hard for me to take it apart to use the diapers, but when you run out, you gotta use what you have!

I also tried another item from the Chic Mama site. The Demi bella Black Long Sleeved T shirt. As a matter of fact you can see how much I loved this item in my review on After The Alter. There is even a giveaway going on so you can try it yourself!

Bottom line…Chic Mama is a site that has great gifts for any expectant mother in your life. And with the holidays approaching what a great time to give these items as gifts!

More than diapers at Diapers.com?  I was curious to see how the site had grown since my last child potty trained and was pleasantly surprised at how much their offering had expanded since the last time I ordered.

I placed a big order for several products, none of which was diapers!  I got toys for my kids for Christmas, clothes and skin care products for my kids.  In searching for various products, I was able to find everything I was looking for.  Check out the array of Legos they offer!  (My kids are so into Legos right now, I was impressed with their selection.)

I also ordered this adorable Tea Collection Lion Double Decker Tee.  Then I was out of hand soap so I hopped over to body care and ordered several bottles of Burts Beeds Hand Soap.  Bottom line being that their offering has moved beyond diapers and their prices are competitive.  (Free shipping over $49!)

Just to give you an example the vast assortment of products you can buy for your family’s needs, check out this random assortment of products you can buy on Diapers.com:

Bravado Designs Nursing Tank - $49

Fisher Price IxL Learning System - $89.99

Basq Cucumber Tea Eye Gel - $24

3-pack of EPT Pregnancy Stick Tests - $13.99

Lego City Seaplane - $9.49

Shipping is free when your order is over $49 and no joke, my order came in a day and a half. They promise 1-2 day shipping and I placed my order late one night. It came not the next day but early the following morning; roughly 36 hours.

One thing that is a new mom must-have is Kalencom’s Quick Change Kit ($30). I love that it’s compact, super easy to clean (just wipe off) and comes with a clear plastic wipes case. It’s AZO free and Phthalates free. The length of the changing pad is long enough that my almost 3 year old daughter fits on it, as well as my infant, It’s thin enough, even when stuffed with an incredible amount of diapers, to go in your diaper bag (I usually take it with me, rather than the included changing pad in my diaper bag). Or you could throw it in your stroller basket and if it had a loop, I would hang it off my stroller handle (hint, hint). This is one product that should always be with you! Instead of lugging your diaper bag to the restroom to change your child, just pick up your baby and your Quick Change Kit!

Thank you to Kalencom for providing product samples.

The event also showcased a Dream Nursery exhibition, a Spa corner, and seminars led by Carley Roney, editor-in-chief of TheBump.com on surviving NYC mommyhood, and Dr. Alan Greene, author of Feeding Baby Green, as well as from Cord Blood Registry. A percentage of sales was donated KIDS, and Healthy Child, Healthy World, and the Max Cure Foundation.

Standouts included Lansinoh’s electric Affinity Breast Pump (the milk NEVER will back up into the tubing), Britax ‘s fabulous B Ready Stroller (that can take a second seat) and Next Generation Convertible Car Seats, phil and teds’ Nest Baby Bed, Delta Juvenile’s Products’ new eco friendly storage line, Belabumbum Maternity’s delicious maternity and nursing pajamas, and Glamourmom’s gorgeous nursing and maternity tanks.

Magnificent Baby showed off their fabulous magnetic baby clothes, we’re huge fans of their new Whales pattern, which comes in boy, girl and unisex versions. We loved iCandy’s Peach Blossom Stroller — You can have two seats and it folds up so compactly – take off the seats and you can even swing the chassis over your shoulder   Companies also represented were UppaBaby, Dapple Baby, Plum Organics, BabyJogger, Think King, Simplesse, Buy Buy Baby, Babies R Us and many more.
