Learn how to use the Smart Bottoms Too Smart V2 one-size diaper cover with prefolds, flats, or fitted diapers. Step-by-step instructions for a leak-free fit.
Quick Answer
Use the Smart Bottoms Too Smart V2 cover over a prefold, flat, or fitted diaper, tucking the diaper into the front and back flaps for a secure, leak-resistant fit. Adjust the snap settings to match your baby's size and weight.
Why the Too Smart V2 Works Differently
Unlike a standard pocket diaper, the Too Smart V2 is a cover designed to be used with absorbent inserts like prefolds, flats, or fitted diapers. It has built-in flaps at the front and back that let you tuck a trifolded prefold or flat diaper inside, holding it in place without extra snappis or pins. This makes it a flexible option if you already use prefolds or flats and want a waterproof layer that can be reused between changes.
Because it's a one-size cover, it adjusts to fit most babies from about 10 to 35 pounds, though the manufacturer suggests starting around 13 pounds. That means you can use the same cover from the early months through potty training, adjusting the snaps as your baby grows.
Step-by-Step: Using the Too Smart V2 Cover
- Prepare the absorbent layer: Choose a prefold, flat, or fitted diaper that is clean and dry. If using a prefold or flat, trifold it lengthwise into a narrow strip that will fit inside the cover. Make sure the absorbent layer is not too bulky; it should fit comfortably inside the cover without gaps.
- Open the cover and position the insert: Lay the cover flat and open the front and back flaps. Place the trifolded prefold or flat diaper inside, tucking the ends into the front and back flaps. If using a fitted diaper, simply lay it inside the cover without tucking. Ensure the absorbent layer is centered and covers the entire wet zone to prevent leaks.
- Put the cover on your baby: Hold the cover with the absorbent layer in place and bring it up between your baby's legs. Fasten the snaps on both sides, adjusting the rise snaps as needed for a snug fit around the waist and legs. Check that the leg elastics are snug but not too tight; you should be able to fit one finger between the elastic and your baby's leg.
- Adjust for size and fit: Use the snap settings to adjust the rise and waist. For a smaller baby, use the smaller rise setting; for a larger baby, extend the rise. The cover should fit like underwear, with no gaps at the waist or legs. If you see red marks on your baby's skin, loosen the snaps slightly; if there are gaps, tighten them.
- Check for leaks and change as needed: After a few hours, check the cover for leaks or wetness. The cover can be reused if it's only lightly soiled, but replace it if it's wet or heavily soiled. Wash the cover according to the manufacturer's instructions. Always have a spare cover ready for quick changes, especially when you're out and about.
