I liked these better than the Gerber training pants for my daughter. She is on the slender side, and they fit well. Also, unlike the Gerber ones there is a bit of plastic or something in between the cloth layers that helps keep urine contained when there are small accidents. However, of the two pairs that we got of the Carter's brand, the waistband elastic snapped on one of them the 3rd or 4th time she put it on, and now the pants are unusable. I don't see other similar reviews here about that issue, so perhaps it was just a fluke for us, which is why I still gave them a decent rating. I may upgrade the rating if the other pair lasts a long time.
