I am not one to write bad reviews, if I don't like something, I keep it to myself and move on. But literally every single diaper in this box is defective. I am unable to diaper my child right now because all the diapers are missing a tab to attach the diaper to the child. I am now in a desperate situation with no diapers because I received this box for my monthly subscription and I have no other diapers for my son. This issue is unacceptable, especially when it effects my child.

I loved Pampers Swaddlers when my daughter was a younger infant, but when she started crawling, I dutifully switched to cruisers halfway through her stint in size 3 because I felt like I was "supposed to" now that she was actively moving. But my son I kept in swaddlers until size 6 and then switched him to size 7 cruisers and he was fine too.
Overall I've been happy with cruisers. She was in Cruisers size 3 and then size 4 during the day, and Huggies Overnight at night (she was soaking her cruisers at night, and Huggies Overnights are definitely the best!)
I've had the chance to compare the Swaddlers to the Cruisers in size 4, and I can see the differences when I look at the diaper itself. The Swaddlers are more padded (thicker), whereas the Cruisers have a strong elastic. And of course the Swaddlers have that yellow/blue stripe to tell you when the diaper is wet. Personally I don't really need that stripe at my daughter's current size. The days of teaspoon-sized pees in stationary babies asleep in a crib are long gone, and if she's wet, I kinda know.
Swaddlers: Thicker, Yellow Stripe
Cruisers: Thinner, more elastic
Both: Perfect for my long & lean 13 month old - no leaks (21 lbs ... I move up diaper sizes early)
Neither: Neither is great for overnight for a toddler who actively soaks a diapers. But that's why there are overnight diapers!
Overall I can't say I have a preference between the two. If you love swaddlers and/or really want the stripe, then stick with swaddlers and don't worry that you should move to cruisers because your baby is crawling/walking. If you use cruisers and are happy, don't let the fact that you can get swaddlers in size 4 make you question which is better. In my opinion there really isn't much of a difference. The Swaddlers are just as good for my very active 13 month old. Choose your diaper on price or on the cartoon character on the front or whatever you care about. I really don't think there is functionally much of a difference between Swaddlers and Cruisers.

I've always purchased our diapers from Costco. I've never had any issues and always say a better deal in quantity and quality when compared to other brands. However my oldest son is quite big for his age, about 37 pounds and he's only 21 months! He's currently wearing a 3t or 4t (pants are long on him but fit nicely in the waist) I started getting worried when I was noticing that costco's brand of diapers go to only a 6 and my baby was quickly peeing thru them overnight. Thus began the hunt ... do they even make size 7 diapers? Can I find them in the store? Why doesn't costco offer additional sizes! !???! Lol well I found these. I gotta order them online but at least I know he can be comfortable again. I do agree with other posts about the ability of keeping the diapers up. They totally bunch up where the velcro clasp meets. I thought maybe they were too big for my baby but nice to see others saw this issue too.
Also, be careful when checking out. ... I noticed that if you ordered the economy pack (92 diapers) = $ 45 VERSUS the economy plus pack (184 diapers) = $106 how the heck can they more than double this?
**** I buy 2 economy packs which come to 184 diapers and comes to 90$

I switched to cruisers from swaddlers when my daughter was just over a year. We use Pampers, and my baby has had a diaper rash exactly twice. I have two older children who I used store brand and Luvs with, and they got rashes all the time. They also had a tendency to squish out the sides.

Pampers vs. other brands. Pampers may leak up the back on a rare occasion, but they NEVER leak out the sides. We have never had an issue with diaper rash with Pampers, but have with store brands. These fit very well on my daughter. I have only once pulled the tab off on accident while fastening, but the store brand diapers regularly pop those pesky little tabs off, rendering the diaper useless.

Cruisers vs Swaddlers. Definitely a difference in outer cover softness on the cruisers. These feel more "plasticy" on the outside, but not the inside. Still soft. Cruisers are narrower between the legs which is important when baby starts walking. No more green line to tell you when to change, but the diaper looks full from the outside on cruisers. I think that is the channeling system that Pampers boasts about that gets moisture away from the skin.

Great diapers for big toddler, my son is 2years old and he is a big kid 39lbs 40" this diapers keeps him dry and comfortable all day and no leaks at night!
