A favorite of both parents and experts, Pampers Swaddlers diapers come in three sizes to fit newborns and babies up to 18 pounds. Parents like Pampers Swaddlers' Grow-With-Me fit, their stretchy sides and their soft overlapping tabs, which they say provides a snug, comfortable fit. Pampers Swaddlers also have extra padding in the back, since they're meant for inactive babies who spend more time on their backs, rather than toddlers. Swaddlers also feature a fold-down front section to accommodate a newborn's sensitive navel area. Parent reviewers frequently note the softness of these diapers, although many mention that they wish they came in larger sizes for older babies. For older toilet-training tots, reviews repeatedly recommend Seventh Generation Chlorine Free Training Pants (*Est. 40 cents each).

Although Pamper Swaddlers diapers aren't included in the diaper review roundup by one top professional testing organization (though other varieties of Pampers are), we found useful information about Pampers Swaddlers in "Baby Bargains" and in a blog about disposable diapers on About.com (where About.com's baby product guide polls parents about their favorite diapers). User reviews on Amazon.com, Diapers.com and Viewpoints.com are also informative, while an editorial review on DiaperReview.com provides a detailed analysis and ratings in different categories.

1. Baby Bargains

This information about diapers in this book is extremely helpful, though the recommendations for best diapers are a bit vague. The authors note that "writing about disposable diapers is a bit like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall" because of the constant changes and improvements to diaper design.
