If you've tried RagaBabe then you know how amazing they are. If you haven't but have wanted to, here's your chance to score one without having to wait for a stocking.

Read our full RagaBabe 2-Step review below, and then scroll down for the rules of this contest and the official entry form!

Ragababes are hard to snag, and they hold their value well (used ones often sell on buy/sell/trade boards for close to the value you would pay new!)  This diaper is considered an All-in-Two, as the Organic Sherpa inserts snap into the shell.  Each 2-Step  comes with both an insert and a doubler.

Read our Ragababe 2-Step review below to find out why Ragababes are all the rage.  And then scroll down... because we've joined together with a few other cloth diaper blogs to offer you two great chances to win a Ragababe of your very own!

Our Ragababe 2-Step Review

Cloth Diaper Brand - Ragababe Organic 2-Step Diaper Type - All in Two Overall Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ What size did you purchase? - Size 1 (9 to 30 lbs) Approximately how much did you pay for it? - $35.95 for shell with one insert and one doubler included, additional inserts and doublers available for purchase

What do you love about this diaper?

One of the features of the Ragababe is a wide back elastic.  Most diapers have a narrow elastic, but Ragababe's wide elastic makes a big difference, providing a comfortable fit, and reliable containment, even with big messes!

Ragababe comes with one organic cotton sherpa insert and one organic cotton sherpa soaker.  I love that the insert snaps at the back of the insert, and it has a short "pocket" at the front that holds the front of the insert in place when you're putting it on your baby.  No shifting of the insert... perfect for squirmy little ones!

The insert is made up of 2 layers of organic sherpa cotton outer, and 2 inner layers of bamboo rayon, that are serged and snap into the diaper.  The soaker (booster) provides 2 more layers of organic cotton and one layer of bamboo rayon.  When all are used, this diaper is incredibly absorbent, and even worked for us for night time use.  Ragababe 2-Step inserts are sized: Small for newborn 2-steps, Medium for Size 1 2-steps, and Large for Size 2 2-steps.

As with any all-in-two, Ragababe 2-Steps are designed so that you can replace the soiled inserts and re-use the covers.  The sell is lined with quick-drying non-wicking suedecloth fabric, which is an excellent option for all-in-twos because it can be wiped or rinsed between "wet" uses, allowing for more than one change out of each shell.  You can simply change the insert, and then switch back and forth between two shells to allow them to air/dry between wearing.

From the Ragababe website: "We recommend rotating back and forth between covers throughout the day, wiping down the lining inside your cover with a wet cloth between wet diaper changes.  You will need to machine or hand-wash your cover when baby poops."  With an all-in-two system, you will generally need 6 to 8 covers, and can purchase 2 to 4 inserts per cover.  This helps off-set the higher costs.

Ragababe was one of the first diapers (with the exception of covers) where I used hook and loop and actually liked it. They don't even offer a snap-closure option!

They use a premium Velcro-style closure, which doesn't curl up, and also remains sticky for a long time.  While you sometimes see the "points" on their trademark stars get a little "fuzzy" from lint, their hook and loop stays looking new long past many of the hook and loop styles currently on the market.

How do you think this diaper fits relative to other diapers?

I purchased the size 1, which is recommended for babies 9 to 30 lbs, it is not designed to fit right from birth, but they do offer a size 0, which is designed for newborns (4 to 18 lbs).  For slimmer build children, the size 1 may fit right until potty-training, but Ragababe recommends the size 2 for chunkier children (15 to 40+ lbs).  Depending on your baby's build, you would likely only need newborn and either size 1 or size 2.

The cross-over "overlap strip" hook and loop tape (above my finger) comes standard on snap rise 2-steps, and provides additional waist adjustability, which can help size down a bit.  The wide velcro landing strip (front waist band) also allows the diaper to size out quite large.  I also felt that the rise was similar to other diapers, and it does fit quite true to size.

Would I recommend it to a friend?

This diaper is one of the most expensive ones I own, and for many, $36 per diaper is not a budget-friendly option.  I do love this diaper, and to me the attention to detail, custom options (colored snaps, etc) and premium features, including organic sherpa, do set this apart from diapers made in factory settings.  I love that this diaper holds its value incredibly well, and for that reason alone and I can totally understand why many become lifelong buyers of Ragababe.

Another bonus for Ragababe: they use a premium elastic in the legs and waist band, which they call "Last-Ever" elastic, and they advertise that it will never need replacing.  Most diapers don't use premium elastic, and often don't last through more than one baby without some repairs and elastic replacement.

What would you change about this diaper?

There's not much I would change about this diaper.  I really do wish it was available from other retailers, though, because I would love to combine shipping with other diapers and accessories I order.
