*I received the product mentioned below for the purpose of this review. All opinions are 100% my own.*
After using pocket diapers for the better part of the last almost 3 years, I have developed a love for AIO’s or All in Ones. Awhile back, I had won a Smart Bottoms Smart One 3.0, and it quickly became one of my favorites. I was stoked when Christy agreed to work with me on a review {and a giveaway} because I couldn’t wait to tell you all about this diaper.
The Smart One 3.0 is an all in one cloth diaper. The inside is made from 100% organic cotton. The liner is attached at the back, and can be folded however you need it to provide the most absorbency for your child – a total of 10 layers of absorbency! Because the insert is attached only at one end, the diaper dries very quickly. The outside of the diaper is made from PUL Polyester.
The Smart One 3.0 is also a one size diaper, fitting from 8-35 pounds. The size is adjusted by snapping and unsnapping the rise snaps on the front of the diaper. The snaps adjust to 4 different rise settings. With 3 snaps across for each setting, there is no big bulge in the middle.
The front of the diaper has a double row of 8 snaps to allow for great adjustability in the waist. Each wing has 3 snaps preventing wing droop and keeping the diaper in place so even a busy toddler doesn’t have leaks. For those with very well endowed baby waists, there are even waist extenders available for purchase.
I would like to try this all-in-one. I like how you can customize where the insert is the thickest.
I have some BumGenius Freetimes that are similar, but this diaper seems more customizable with having one long insert to fold. Love that feature!
This diaper looks so awesome, it is on my need-to-try list. It just looks so comfy!

I’ve been dying to try these! We have switched over to almost all AIO diapers and these look so nice!
I like that the insert can be customized to be thicker in certain spots. It is super cute, too. Is it not an added layer of difficulty for dad (or grandma, or whoever doesn’t do a lot of diapering) to have to fold it into the diaper appropriately?
It may be, but John doesn’t seem to think so. Since he complains about many different ones, and he likes this one a lot, it must be easy enough.
I have been looking at these diapers for a while. I love the gorilla blue. Funny because I like the solids with these diapers way better than the prints.
These diapers look like they’re would last a long time. Very well made, 10 layers of absorbency is impressive and very adjustable to grow with baby! 🙂
I don’t have any all in ones in my stash yet. This one looks fantastic! Love the colors!
these are my fav diapers ever. I love how they fit and how well they preform. I wish I had an entire stash of them!!
I love that it’s fast drying, and organic! Also seems very adjustable for a long lifespan. I’d like to try one of these. AIOs seem very convenient despite having more to wash and longer drying time than prefolds/fitteds. It would be good to have a few in my stash.
I really like that the insert can be folded to where you need the most absorbency. These also look like they would dry fairly quick.
These are super cute and look very easy to use. I would love to try these over my cheap diapers we have now.
Thank you for your review. Though I’ve watched a bunch of cloth diaper videos on YouTube and follow the CD board on Baby Center, up until this point I had yet to see the sort of detail on an AI1 that you showed and have only been considering purchasing pocket diapers. Now I have something else to consider and will add Smart Bottoms to list of 5 or so types I plan to buy to start out. Baby is due in February!
Thank you!!! How exciting, I hope your pregnancy is going really well.
I have a few of these and love them! Once my son fit into them i’ve never had a leaking problem!
Love the customizability of the long insert and that George color combo is very cute!
I love the wild thing print.
This diaper solves my complaint about AIOs – the drying time. I also like that you can adapt for gender.
It looks rather like a cross between a BG old-style Elemental and a Chelory Organic AIO, both of which I LOVE. And super affordable! I definitely need to pick one of these up.
I love the folding options on these and that they’re not microfiber! i have so many problems with mf!
seems very adjustable for a long lifespan. I’d like to try one of these. AIOs seem very convenient despite having more to wash and longer drying time than prefolds/fitted
I like how you can fold it the way you need it most. I’ve been looking for something else to try instead of double stuffing which can make it so balky.
Love these and how you can fold them! The colors look so great on this one as well.
I have there pail liner in Avocado and I would love to try there diapers. love the colors and the snaps
I love the rich colors of these diapers. We have been using the Flip diapering system and the colors do not seem as vibrant. I also love how the liner is actually attached to the back as well. I may need to rethink my system!
I have always thought that about the FLIPs. They are just duller colors.
This diaper looks great! I’d like to try an AIO too, and I love that it isn’t microfiber.
love the flexibility of this diaper with the insert and it being an AIO, Seems like it is combining the best of a few different styles in one, very “smart” 😉
I really like these diapers– the inserts are the best– I love the different sizing with the little snaps– it looks to be well put together–thanks for a great review
I really like how well it seems to fit and all the snaps it has to ensure a great fit. Would love to try this diaper on my two babies!
I love that the inside is made with organic cotton.

This seems like a great AIO, I’d really like to try it. I originally had tried pocket diapers and loved them thinking I wouldn’t like anything better. Then I picked up some second hand AIO’s and was surprised to realize I liked them even better. These AIO’s snap and grow like my pocket diaps but with all the convenience of an AIO. I think this might be a match made in heaven.
I Love these diapers and wish I could have more of them! The fit is great and trim and was on my little guy almost from the start, and the soaker is quick dry without being awkward to fold like bGEs!
I love them because they are not to far away from me so my carbon foot track is not all that bad When I order this brand
I love how you can move and fold the insert for best absorbency for your baby!
Gah… I am still swooning over this diaper, like the more I look at it the more I want to try to. I may actually have to sell a couple of diapers just to try this. 🙂

I just love there color chooses they have to offer so cute.
These diapers look so great and I love the wild thing print out of all cloth diaper prints!
I’d never thought about it drying faster with the insert only being attached on one side – that’s pretty neat!

I’m excited about the possibility of getting some of these for my stash. I like that the inside is 100% organic cotton and the diaper is made in the USA.
i love that this is made with organic cotton and looks adorable on baby!
I absolutely love that they can snap to four different sizes, most all in ones that I have seen only snap to three different sizes! I would love to try a few of these out <3
I really want to try them out before I have a baby shower so I know if i should register for more!
This looks like it would be a really comfy fit for my super chunky babe! Especially around the legs….
I love the Wild Thing print, and the Berry Berry color. This reminds me of the original BG Elemental which is one of my favorite diapers.
Did your husband have trouble trying to figure out how to position the insert? That’s my worry – otherwise I think he’ll handle it fine.
No, he loves this diaper. The insert is narrow enough that it doesn’t end up sticking out the sides of the diaper as he puts it on Charlie. And he just folds the insert in half instead of folding it to get the most absorbency.
I just love the snaps so that way you can us the same diaper and don’t have to go out buy another size. Unless you it a one size that you just can’t live with out that one diaper that has just the cuties some thing on it.
love that there are 4 sets of rise snaps – very adjustable! and that i can fold it however i like to customize for both daughter and son!
love that the inside is made from 100% organic cotton.
I love it! It looks great and super easy! I really want to try one when my LO comes November
This looks like a really great fitting diaper! I really like the Berry Berry color! Would be great for my baby girl!
I still have not tried AIO and would love to!! We currently use prefolds and covers for the price 🙂 I like that this diaper is fast drying and looks very absorbent!!
I would love to try out a diaper like this. It’s nice how you can change where you need the more absorbancy, so it can be used for both boys and girls.
nothing to stuff! Sign me up!
These diapers look really comfortable. I have never tried all in ones yet, but I really want too. I will keep this brand in mind.
I like how theyre specially folded for boys or girls and that theyre cotton. much more absorbant.. very awesome.
I don’t own any Smart Bottoms yet but I’d really like to get some. I love the Wild Thing giraffe print. Thanks for the review!

Thank you for the review. I am yet to try smart bottoms but I keep hearing positive comments about them and have been searching for a review! I think I just added another diaper to my “need to try” list!
Looks like a great diaper to try. I like that you can adjust where the absorbency is.
wow, innovative high tech cloth diapers! who knew? lol with all the different size adjusting snaps, they look polka-dotted brown and teal. great color combo! can toddlers get those snaps unsnapped?
I love these! I have a new grandbaby and would love to try these with her. I am getting one to try and see if a change can be made.
I love how the absorbency is customizable for different children; it reminds me of the Simplex but better!
I love cloth diapers that’s why aside from buying, I keep on joining giveaways and I wont stop until I win even just a piece! LoL
Ah, I love those 100% cotton insides! I also love that you can arrange the insert for additional absorbency for my son up front.
Thanks for the review:) I think the Smartbottoms prints are really cute, too. I also like the design of the insert….easy enough, yet customizable!
These look large enough, comfortable enough for my 30+ lbs babe…..can be difficult at times finding a good fit.
I love that it has up to 10 layers of absorbency and all the adjustable snaps.
I love how you can change up the absorbancy.

wow i love how much customization you can do so its a good fit for your child..so much better than regular diapers.
Would like to give this aio a try. We dont own many aio diapers simply due to the cost.
I had never heard of this brand of cloth diapers before your review! Thank you for sharing!
I don’t have any AIOs, and I have completed my stash, but Smartbottoms is one that I would like to try if I could. Winning one would be awesome.
I love that it can be folded differently according to the sex of the baby..brilliant. Thanks for such a wonderful review!!
Great blog. very helpful!
Cant wait to try smart one3.0.! they seem great!
Great product!
I like the long insert, perfect for adjusting and it’s NOT microfiber…perfect!!!!
I love that the Smart One has 4 rise settings; my son is starting to grow out of his other diapers (BG, BB, Thirsties, RaR)
I just love how you can make it fit to your kids bottom.
I’m all for AIOs. I hate stuffing diapers and I’m getting rid of pockets in favor of AIO or AI2 styles. I like the customizable insert placement – it would be nice to have extra absorbancy for my heavy wetter son, but flexibility if we have a daughter in the future.
I have been wanting to try these diapers since I started CD 2 years ago with my oldest! I LOVE that the wings have hip snaps and I love that it can go all the way to XS in the sizing! I also love the way the AIO insert is long allows for folding to be personalized to each baby’s needs! Such a great diaper!! I may have to talk hubby into some using your review 🙂 hehe!
Thank you for this review! I too am a pocket gal, but I have a few all in ones that work similar, so I appreciated your comment about these smart bottoms; I’ll have to give them a shot!
Love the color combo! Noe I want one! =)

i love my pockets and just can’t seem to find any aio and ai2 love. you really make me want this diaper to try. my only aio i love is my bg elemental. this looks so much better. love that you can customize the liner.
I like the way you can customize the insert for boy or girl. I also like that it is an all in one but since the insert is not sewn all the way in, it will dry quicker.
I love the different rise options! These diapers are adorable!
I’ve always wanted to try AIO but all my friends talk me out of it. Great review!
I love AIO’s. My biggest problem that I use to have with them is that they take longer to dry, but with these diapers, they dry just as quickly.
These look very user friendly! I am a first time cloth user, and these diapers seem like they would be great for beginners! I also love that it’s a one size fits all kind of diaper – I won’t have to buy numerous sizes of them!
I haven’t found too many helpful reviews about the Smart Bottoms, so thanks for this.
Adorable! I only have a few AIO’s but I’m looking to stock up for newborn.

I can’t wait to have another baby and try this diaper out on them!
(Even baby’s bum is ahead of the game with Smart Bottoms) These look like some really nice cloth diapers for babies. I wish they would have had these when my grown kids were younger.
[…] I really wanted to check out. One of them wasthe Born Smart diaper from Smart Bottoms. I had reviewed the Smart Bottoms all in one cloth diaper with Charlie and it quickly became one of our favorites, so I […]
