We tried fuzzi bunz one size diapers, kissaluvs fitted diapers, fuzzi bunz xs, small, and medium perfect size diapers, bum genius all in one, one size organic snap diapers, and the bum genius 3. 0 one size pocket diaper with velcro and the fuzzi bunz one size was our favorite.
The Pros:
-First, obviously, we like it because we don’t have to buy a whole new set of diapers for each size.
Our son has worn these since he was a few weeks old and is still wearing them at eight months.
The adjustable elastic is very convenient and only has to be adjusted every once in a while and it doesn’t bunch up like the bum genius that only has three different levels.
The notches in the elastic make the fit much more customized for the baby.
-We much prefer the snaps to the velcro on the bum genius because you always know where to snap the diaper so that it isn’t too tight or too loose.
-We prefer the pocket to the all in one because it seems like they get more clean this way (you can separate them for the wash), you can adjust the absorbency based on size and time (night or day), and they dry faster this way which is especially important if you are line drying. That said, we also prefer the pocket to the fitteds with a cover – more convenient.
-Even though our son would fit in the medium perfect size, the one size fits better. I think they often fit better than the “perfect” size.
The Cons:
-We generally like these, but the later versions (we have some of the first ones and some later versions) have one less snap and at eight months they already seem to be getting a little bit tight on our boy who has a round tummy and chunky legs. I wish they would go back to the extra snap.
Also, the first ones didn’t have the hip snap which worked better for us.
It makes it too tight around his chubby legs when we do the hip snap.
-We have had some problems with leaking. I’ve taken to stripping them more regularly, and I’m sure this would be the case with most cloth diapers, but it is sort of a hassle.
-It would be nice if there were more designs for the one-size. Currently only solids and daisies.
-The white ones end up looking a little discolored, so I would go with a colored one.
-The earlier versions had smaller holes for the elastic and the ends didn’t slip out.
The later versions had bigger holes and sometimes the end of the elastic slips out which can be annoying and leave little marks on his legs.
All of that said, we have 24 of these one sizes and like them better than any of the others we’ve tried. For our next baby, we’ll use only these, with maybe a few small “perfect size” diapers early on.
I was new to cloth diapering when our son was born and didn’t know where to start, how many supplies I needed, how long the diapers last etc etc. I knew I wanted to use a prefold and cover system, so when I stumbled upon this complete pack I snapped it up and haven’t looked back.
This set literally contains everything you need for cloth diapering, from the time your child is born to the time they’re potty training, and the cost is a drop in the bucket when compared to what you would spend on buying disposables for 2+ years.
The cotton diaper stays fluffy and super soft and unlike other brands, I haven’t had any rashing or chafing with the Real Nappies PUL cover.
I was excited to see that Real Nappies also offers a two child guarantee on all of their products, so if you’re thinking about cloth diapering, this Birth to Potty pack is a great investment.
Car seat! A good safe car seat is A #1 priority.
Second, I would say a good stroller.
I would spend as little as possible on toys.
The kid will play with most of them for about 10 minutes.
The rest, I would (and did) buy used. (Bought a new matress for the crib, though. I wasn’t taking any chances with some other kid’s funk. )
Spend money on really important things like pictures of you & the baby.
Naw, the last name beginning with c will only help it flow.
So, it’s good.
If he has a brother someday you could always name him Connor or something. (Although, when I was thinking of names that rime by removing c and putting other letters in front I realized that he could be teased when he’s old enough for school. (Carter the Farter, etc. ). Make sure his daddy teaches him how to punchout any kids like that have a bad sense of humor. ^o^ Course with K it’s the same. I think you have in fact the only letter that would go! Kudos to you!
This doll (and the peapod one they sell too) is just the cutest. . .
Well made and very good price. Perfect size for a baby and toddlers, little kids and even my teenager loves it. Why pay GUND prices when this is available?!

Maybe eBay would be a better outlet for these types of items? I have a 3-month old and I did a lot of shopping on eBay for all kinds of baby stuff.
How big is the city/town the craft fair will be in? Most of the items you named sound like something you would buy throughout pregnancy and the first few years for a baby, but the diaper cakes may be a little harder to sell. Maybe only make a few of those, or have a display one and take orders as most people will only need those for baby showers.
Good luck

Diaper cakes are more of a special order item, so probably wouldn’t sell very well at a craft fair. You could have one or two made and then hand out business cards for people to call you and order one for a baby shower or event.
Things like hair bows, wall letters, etc. . . Would probably do really well. People really are suckers for baby stuff (me included!) Homemade fleece hats and mitts for the winter would probably sell too.
Good luck!
