Branding: love. Eco Bebe Boutique is proof that it's possible to have beautiful, grown-up branding and still sell products for the little ones.

Website: The website is clean, intuitive, and gorgeous. Everything displays correctly and it's easy on the eyes (no clutter). I would like to see more in the way of shopping options (by brand, for instance), though. There's a great "Cloth Diapering 101" section, too. While many cloth diaper stores offer this info, this is one of the best I've seen and is definitely worth reading. I like the unique testimonials page, too. Rather than have rave after rave about the store, it's a place for moms to share what led them to cloth diapering. I think that's a fantastic idea, one that is especially valuable to site visitors who are new to cloth diapering. The Knowledge Center section is also excellent. US users should note that prices are in Canadian dollars.

The goods: I ordered a Bamboozle fitted, a GAD pocket, and a Happy Heiny's Hemp Stuffins.

Shipping: Flat-rate shipping of $6.95 CDN to urban areas ($8.95 to the US). Free on orders over $149 (pre-tax).

Perks:

• Eco Bebe Boutique is one of the best sites I've seen for well-written, reliable info on cloth diapering.
• It's a site I enjoyed shopping on. It works well and the design is really pleasing.
• A handful of lesser known and less widely available diaper brands are sold here, which is nice.

Overall: There's a really well-balanced selection of diaper style and brands available at Eco Bebe Boutique. The inventory really spans the entire range of wants and needs a cloth diapering family might have, from the more expensive, higher-end diapers, to the most budget-friendly options possible, and everything in between. The same goes for the diaper styles offered: everything from the traditional all-in-ones and pockets to the newer hybrid systems are available. This store is an especially excellent resource for the Canadian cloth diaperers out there. I thing Eco Bebe Boutique has struck just the right balance with the range of diapers and price points that are offered, and they've done it in a really elegant way!
