I've hunted on Ebay and called Old Navy stores all over the country, but to no avail. I would be very grateful if someone had it and was willing to part with it! (toddler sizes 12-18 mo or 18-24 mo ideal, but I'll take any size at this point!). Thanks in advance!

Used it for a couple years and stored it in the attic for the next baby... Next baby arrives in Nov 2012... Decided to bedshare, working great but I decided that we'd side car the crib this week and see how it works... WRONG! CRIB WAS RECALLED IN 2009! WTF! I FILLED OUT REGISTRATION INFO! UGH. So it gets better... I threw away the receipt right before having this baby in Nov... Anyone return a recalled crib recently? I am just wondering how much opposition I will be met with from the retailer. I realize that they are stepping up since the mfg is bankrupt, but I paid almost $400 for this thing! I plan on calling the retailers listed on the cspc website and asking them what the refund is, b/c if it's not worth loading and unloading the crib with a 6mo & 4 yo in tow I'll just use it as bonfire wood instead...

My questions are:
Has anyone returned a recalled crib years after the recall? If so, what was the process and results?
Any questions you think I should ask?
Anything particular I should tell the people I talk to?

I ordered a napa chicken salad sandwich and chicken noodle soup and it was amazing! I went back up and asked if I could buy a soup bowl of it to take home to make my own sandwich and he sold me one of the bags of sauce that they order at cost. 4 bucks and I have enough sauce for about 12 sandwiches. Amazing. I emailed them about how happy I was to have such a great experience

I've got a few questions for you, but here's my background first:

I'm due in 9 weeks with my DD and I decided to try cloth diapering because my first DD (she's 3) had terrible rashes with disposables and also because my husband and I are on a tight budget and it will be so much cheaper to cloth diaper. That being said, I've bought various different kinds of diapers since March and figured I'd try them all/see what I like. At that time, my 3 year old was still in diapers at night time so I got some practice with her- using BG pockets and Thirsties covers over folded flour sack towels. The BG's that I purchased were used, and the Thirsties/FST were purchased new. My daughter did get a small rash from using the BG's but cleared up using the FST. I'm wondering if she reacted to the fleece. Anyway, so I would wash every 3 days (only 3 diapers) and I have an HE front loader. After a few washes they smell- not like pee to me but like the BG detergent that I used. Maybe I used too much? So since that time I have rinsed them on hot at least 5 times or more and they still seem to smell to me. I've even used a bit of baking soda and vinegar trying to get the smell out and it didn't really put much of a dent in it. Due to this, I'm becoming pretty intimidated with using pockets.:banghead: I don't have time to figure out how to get them clean or strip every few months or whatever the case may be. So below are my questions:

1. What can I do to figure out the smell issue with the BG pockets?

2. If I can't figure it out, would someone buy them for like, $3 ea plus shipping and try to figure it out themselves? Obviously I would disclose everything to them and they're still in GUC I would say, two in EUC, I apparently just suck at washing pockets.

3. I planned on starting with just FST and prefolds with covers because they're cheap, 100% cotton, and easy to clean, but my friend who CDs swears that it's so much easier for her hubby and even herself to use the pockets. Do your husbands use prefolds/flats, what do they prefer, and which is easier? I don't mind folding flats/prefolds, I like learning all the folds and how you can customize them to different sized babies.

4. Would it be a good idea to sell the various pockets I bought (I have Fuzzibunz size small as well and a nb no name AIO) to fund some Swaddlebees Capri covers or flips? I figured those should be pretty simple for DH to use!

Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated! I really want this to work for us but:
I can't afford to spend a fortune.
I need an easy wash routine.
I want one system so my DH/parents/inlaws don't get confused.
