Just as Fashion Week sets the new trends for the next season of clothing and accessories, the ABC Kids Expo taking place Set 23-26 sets the newest trends in Baby Products.
With over 25 Cloth Diaper Exhibitors joining the show this year there will be lots to see. Usually brands wait until this time of year to unveil their newest products. Buyers will be at the show placing orders and brands want their newest releases ready for order!
This explains why the biggest brands in cloth diapers are announcing their newest products. Already we have seen huge announcements from GroVia, bumGenius, and Swaddlebees.
The trend? Trainers and Prints.
GroVia announced their new Trainers called MyChoice. These are “One Size Fits Most” that have a snap down rise and have the option of two different Flex Side Panels. The Regular Size fits 1T-3T (18-35+ lbs) and Plus fits 3T-5T (30+ lbs). You can find the MyChoice with the Regular Flex Size Panels for 18.99. If you want to add the Plus Size Panels for 3.99. The panels can be purchased in multi colors but the trainers come in Vanilla and Cloud. Available Dec 2012
GroVia also came out with 2 new colors, Cloud (grey) and Surf (teal). Also available in October. You can view them in the trainer chart above.
bumGenius already announced recently that they were releasing a trainer that one also be a “One Size Fits Most” Design with replaceable inserts.
Meet the Flip Trainer!
The Flip Trainer has stretchy side panels similar to the bumGenius tabs, replaceable organic cotton inserts so that your toddler can feel when they are wet, and those inserts use touch tape to be secured inside, and can be replaced when wet. This should save a little money in the Trainer department since you are usually dealing with wet misses. There is a snap down rise and the trainer should fit toddlers 20-50 pounds!
Rumparooz has a new line of EcoPosh diapers including their Organic Training Pant.
Kissaluvs released their new Pocket Trainer a few months ago but it is still worth mentioning.
I can’t say what is coming but I know of two major brands also releasing Trainers in the near future.
bumGenius also announced new colors and PRINTS!

I also have in my possession a very fashion forward print from Charlie Banana designed by Matthew Langille. I can’t share it just yet though! For now check out one of his other designs, these are Swatches.
Thirsties just released their new print, Hoots.
And Sweet Pea also announced an Owl themed Print.
Other recent but not “brand new* prints that have been introduced lately include Bottombumpers, Tiny Tush, AppleCheeks, and itti bitti.
Rumparooz released their new line of EcoPosh diapers made from recycled plastic bottles. They have a One Size fitted, Newborn Fitted, and a Wool Soaker.
Then there are more prints being announced soon by a few other brands! *hint, one is a DDL advertiser* I can’t wait to see them all at ABC Kids! I have a feeling I will be updating my Cloth Diaper Finder with at least 30 new products soon!
