Default Green Kids vs Pea Pods

Hi all,

I have a couple of Pea Pods which didnt work for DS initially but have started working well in the last week (yay no leaks ). So can anyone tell me whether GK are better than Pea Pods and why?

Are Green Kids worth the extra $$$??

I'm currently using BBB at night and combination of Tots Bots, AIO's (BG and MD) as well as terry flats and sposies during the day as I build up my stash.

Thanks

I've got both, and if I had to choose, I'd have to say the GK's! They are 1 size, and I like the tt better then the snaps on a pocket.

Also find I have less leaks in GK's. Not that I've had a lot in in the PP, but if I leave A in it too long, I am pretty much certain to get a leak.

I have both as well and I have to say that the Pea Pods have actually outlasted the GK's! I'm surprised and I like snaps better as dd pulls the velcro right off...mind you she is older at 15 months. I do like GK's and used them for ages as a night nappy with a large hemparoo and a microfibre insert. They are a very generous pocket and you can stuff heaps into them so I guess thats a good thing...but honestly my PP have lasted ages and I havent needed to upsize

I like the Greenkids better than my pea pods. They just seem to fit better and hold more.

I prefer the GK too - but if PP are working for you thats great. Maybe try out the GK and see what you think (maybe buy cheap on Buy for Baby or a second if they have any).

It's close for us... overall I prefer the green kids because they are funkier, one size and seem to last better, but I do like peapods because they have snaps and are affordable.

I'd try one of each too and decide what suits.

Our GreenKids are good but he's only 7 months and they pop open because he's on the outside of the velcro and it's not very strong. I personally say peapods, they've lasted really well for us, no leaks.
