I hv been using only mother ease until my boy turned 6mths. ME is not bad but it's too much work. especially when my boy startes to roll over its not easy to keep him still to wear all layers, even though there r only 2. so I bought a bunch of alva baby for the day. especially when I go out..its much easier to use them cos they r less bulky and I only need to snap once. I keep my ME for the house and bring alva baby when I go out. and alva is much cheaper.
