Mothercare launches their own reuseable-SmartNappy

...but has disposable pads as well for days out, which sounds like a good idea.

Wonder if any of you have seen it or tried it out?

It looks interesting, but the largest size wraps only go up to 20lb?

seen this on another forum and after a discussion we decided it was (excuse the pun) poop. It seems no cheaper than other alternatives and a system where you get disposable pads is already available and the pants to go along with it go to much better sizes

The difference being that this takes reuseables to the masses as Mothercare are going to be spending on promo...I found out from an email they'd sent me, so I guess everyone on their mailing list got it.

BTW, Which system has disposable pads?

i think everyone knows reuseables exist - they just dont want to use them. Even in the supermarkets u can get the eco disposables.

Yes but they aren't really a "high street" thing (although I know boots do cotton bottoms), resusables are seen as a bit of a niche thing I think, that you need to do lots of research about and trawl through the interweb before you understand it all. At least that's how I percieve it! (I'm a cloth user)

I agree most people know they're out there, but so many people perceive them as terries...I had a conversation with someone about it last week. They genuinely thought I spent hours folding nappies and didn't have a clue about modern reuseables.

If Mothercare put lots of money into promotion, will that mean more informed mums, therefore more reuseable users?...using Mothercare's system which may not be the best fit for baby, thus turn them against reuseables?
