Kandy Apple Kids {Review & Giveaway}

Introduction: Kandy Apple Kids is owned and operated by Kari. Kari is one busy woman, running Kandy Apple Kids on Etsy and also stocking her shops, Cupcakes & Dump Trucks and Boytique.

Selection: Kari makes beautiful One Size Pocket Diapers, adorable daschund stuffies, and colorful crayon rolls. (Simply click on the photos below to view each listing.)

    

     

Review: We received a beautiful One Size minky diaper from Kandy Apple Kids as well as an adorable stuffed daschund to review. 

As soon as we opened the fluffy mail I was impressed by the quality and workmanship (workwomanship) of both items. The quality of stitching and care to detail is apparent when you see Kari's items up close.

I also love the color combinations. They are bright and fun, perfect for my energetic little ones.

Since we received this diaper, it has been a go to diaper for Eliya. We've used the diaper away from home several times and have even employed it as a night time diaper of several occasions. I absolutely love how soft and cuddly the minky inner and outer fabrics are.

I also love that we've had no issues with leaking or wicking with Kari's diaper.

Since this is a One Size diaper it fits both of our diaper wearer. It converts between sizes by a snap down rise. The snap placement allows this diaper to have three different rise options and multiple tummy and thigh settings.

Kari's diapers are made using the Nykibaby Pattern, and fit most babies and toddlers from birth to potty training, approximately 8-40 pounds. The unique welt-style pocket opening makes the pocket easy to stuff.

I like the fit of this diaper on both Amelia (3 months) and Eliya (21 months). Although I do like the fit on Eliya a little better.

The only thing that I didn't completely love is the micorfiber towel insert. Not that there is anything wrong with the insert, I just personally prefer the microfiber inserts that are sewn instead of having to fold the insert before stuffing it into the pocket. Like I said this is just my personal preference.

Kari's stuffed daschund could not be more loved at our home. Since his arrival, the kids have been taking turns having him sleep in their beds. I don't think he's spent very many nights in the toy basket at all.

The adorable daschund is bright and cheerful and exceptionally well made. It actually took me a few minutes to find where Kari had finished him up by hand sewing the last little section closed.

Kari's stuffed daschunds are approximately 19 inches long. Their bodies are made from 100% cotton with polyester/minky ears. These stuffed toys would make great Christmas gifts for the little ones in your life.
