   For same-day delivery, you will receive your item the same day as dispatch (i.e., if you deposit on a Monday, your package will be shipped out on Tuesday, and you will receive your order within the day.)

   Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee when a package will arrive, or whether it will arrive on time. We can only ship out your package on schedule; the actual delivery will rest upon the courier.

   Under normal circumstances, your package will arrive on the time frame specified above. However, there may be special circumstances which could cause a delay in delivery, such as unexpected traffic, heavy rains, inexperienced messenger, etc. Also, the courier cannot guarantee the specific time that a package will be delivered.

   If the item you need is of utmost importance, it would be best to place your order early on, to save yourself last-minute worries. You may also opt for same-day delivery, or drop by our showroom to pick up the items yourself.

6. Why should I get shipping insurance?

   You may wish to avail of shipping insurance to safeguard against loss. If you don’t avail of insurance, the courier’s liability will be limited to P100. You can insure your package for up to P2,500. Insurance fees are nominal.

Diapers

(Please read our Guide to Modern Cloth Diapers for more information about cloth diapers!)

1. What is the difference between Happy Heinys One Size and Fuzzi Bunz One Size diapers?

   Happy Heinys One Size Pocket Diapers are adjustable through snaps on the front, allowing you to lengthen or shorten the rise.

   Fuzzi Bunz One Size Pocket Diapers are adjustable through internal elastics with buttonholes (much like children’s pants or maternity pants), allowing you to customize waist and leg settings.

   They are both good brands of diapers.

2. What is the difference between Velcro and Snaps?

   Velcro is easier to use, especially on a squirmy baby. It is daddy-, yaya- and grandparent-friendly. Velcro also allows you to get the perfect fit on your baby. However, Velcro wears out over time. It also tends to come undone in the washing machine and snag on other items. Also, as the baby grows older and more active, she can easily undo the Velcro and take off the diaper. Velcro can also rub on your baby’s tummy, causing discomfort.

   Snaps are more durable, won’t snag on other items, are harder for baby to take off, and won’t scratch her tummy. However, snaps can be a little confusing, and are harder to put on a squirming baby. Also, the diaper’s fit will be limited to the snap placement.

   Some people prefer Velcro, while others prefer snaps. It all boils down to personal preference.

3. Do you offer warranty for the diapers?

   Yes, we do. If you find any problem with the diapers, please contact us and we will help you avail of the warranty.

Swim Diapers

1. Will swim diapers hold liquid and get heavy?

   No. Swim diapers are designed to catch solids, not liquids. Healthy urine is sterile; there is no need to catch it.

Training Pants

1. What is the difference between Happy Heinys Training Pants and Diaperaps Training Pants?

   Diaperaps Training Pants are suitable for daytime use only. They resemble underwear, with light padding and a waterproof layer. They will make your child feel the wetness, which will make potty-training easier.

   Happy Heinys Training Pants are basically the same as Happy Heinys Pocket Diapers, except they are constructed as pull-up pants. They are suitable for daytime and night-time use. Since they have a stay-dry fleece lining, it may be harder for your child to potty-train. To make your child feel the wetness, you may place a cotton fabric such as a small towel or a prefold on top of the liner.

Baby Carriers

1. What is the difference between ring slings and pouches?

   A ring sling is a long piece of fabric with 2 rings attached to one end. You thread the fabric into the rings to create a pouch for the baby.

   A pouch is a piece of fabric sewn together into a tube. You fold the tube into half inside itself to create a pouch for the baby.

2. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each?

   The main advantage of ring slings is their adjustability. They are infinitely adjustable and can accommodate a wide range of sizes and body types. You can also tighten or loosen specific parts of the sling, whether it be the top, the bottom or the middle. They are also very versatile, allowing 6 or more positions. Ring slings also allow you to easily and discreetly breastfeed your baby, by simply adjusting the rails to lower your baby to your breast, and use the tail as a cover. However, it takes a bit of practice to adjust the rails.

   The main advantage of pouches is their ease of use – you just put it on and go! And with the adjustable pouch, it can now also accommodate a range of sizes (although it is not as adjustable as a ring sling). The disadvantage of pouches is that it may be harder to breastfeed in it – although it is not impossible!

3. Are baby carriers safe?

   Properly-designed baby carriers are safe, so long as you use them properly. Babywearing is not a new concept – it has been around for centuries, and different types of baby carriers have been used by different cultures around the world.
