Good but EXPENSIVE!
I did not start buying this diaper until my daughter had a minor procedure, after she turned 1. Before that, I (with much guilt and regret) used Pampers Cruisers, because they rarely leaked. For her older brother, I used Cruisers, too. But after realizing that the perfume and the dioxins used on the Cruisers could potentially affect my daughter, especially after her operation, I wanted to opt for a "safer" diaper. I found that the Seventh Generation diapers were the best ones as far as functionality (they hold up pretty well and prevent most leaks) and availability (they are in more stores than other natural/eco brands). My one big beef with this brand, however, is their price. They are expensive and ever since they changed the tab design, they give you fewer diapers in each size. That's why I am giving Seventh Generation 3 stars. I like them as a diaper but I don't like their pricetag. I also think it's very uncool of them to give you fewer diapers now that they improved their design.

Love these diapers
These diapers work just as well as other name brand diapers, but I feel better about my contribution to the environment by not using diapers that take ages to decompose in landfills. Plus, they're chlorine free, so they're healthier for my baby.

So far so good Stages NB thru 2
So far I love these diapers and have transitioned from NB to Stage 2 with my 9 week old who is growing extremely fast. Right before switching to from Stage 1 to Stage 2 we were experiencing some breastfeed poop blow outs up the back and from around his outer thigh but now that he is in a larger size there are no more leaks. (note: I change my son's diapers every 2-4 hours). Even when trying other brands we have experienced some leaks so I do not think it is a problem specifically related to Seventh Generation.
My only complaint is that several diapers were defective and had tabs that fell completely off when pulled to fasten the diaper. I have composed a letter to the company and plan to mail back these useless diapers with proof of purchased to hopefully receive replacements or a partial refund.
Considering how much extra these diapers cost each, when compared to others, I cannot just overlook 5+ defective ones, even from a pack of 44.
My son has never reacted badly to these diapers and I appreciate their "plain, no-frills" appearance.
We use these diapers at night and when on the go as a supplement to cloth diapering. I've signed up for Subscribe & Save and truly appreciate the value that I am receiving.
