Recommendations for toddler diapers

Well, I don't know anything about Kooshies, and my toddler (22 months old) is on the small side - around 27 lbs and 32" with small thighs, but the workhorse of his diaper supply are his FBs. That's what we keep in the diaper bag and what he wears when we're out and about. But I also love just a regular CPF (he's still fits the Premium size) snappi'd with a wool cover. We especially love our Fuzbomb, but also love our Stacinators too!
I also like fittteds on him - Sugarpeas work well, again with a wool cover.

I won't go into details on my very favorite diapers for my toddler, since they aren't being made anymore (Darling Diapers). I'm hoping that when the new owner takes over the diapers will be exactly the same, because I love love LOVE the fit and function of these!

My 2 1/2 old ds is a Happy Heinys guy - there's no way I could wrestle a cpf on him! The HHs are so easy to use, trim, and he loves the prints. Yesterday he wanted to wear his baby sister's butterfly print SOS, and that fit him great too, with a fuzeasy over it. He's about 29 lbs and skinny.

I bought a full set of MotherEase Onesize dipes, plus liners, when my dd was around 20 mos. old. She's an average wetter so these worked for us. When fully broken in (which takes forever) they will hold as much as a prefold. I got tired of wrestling with prefolds too!

The OS dipes have lasted and lasted and are now waiting for baby#2 since dd's using the potty now. When she graduated from dipes she was 37.5 inches tall and 28 pounds. So she's a skinny girl, but the OS dipes fit her fine to potty training just like they advertise. They may not fit for so long on a chunkier toddler.

Kushies do run small. And these never fit my toddlers right- the pee came out the legs no matter what I did.

I liked ME OS dipes, too, on my first when she was a baby and a toddler. She was probably 27 lbs when she PTed and they fit well. My son can pee through them (can pee through several types of diaper). I recently bought unbleached toddler cpfs and these have been working very well. The premium size worked until recently- he's too wide in the waist for them.

Another vote for Happy Heinys. I could never get dd to sit still long enough for a prefold or even a fitted and cover at this point. Even snapping AIOs are tough sometimes. The Happy Heinys are a breeze, they are trim, she likes the prints, and they will let me use them at her daycare (yipee!!)They are great for day or night too since I can stuff whatever I want in them.

Buying WAHM dipes gives us all an opportunity to buy products from a mom, like us, who is sewing products at home to make money so she can continue staying home with her kids. WAHM dipes are usually very well made and come with great customer service.

I love all of my WAHM dipes. I've only been CDing for about six weeks now and when I started with my 19 month old, I ordered a sample pack of commercial dipes because I didn't know any better but once I found MDC and learned about the WAHM dipes, that's all I use now. I love the idea of helping someone stay home with their babies and the diapers are more interesting than the commercial ones and I love the occasional chance to get a custom order and oh, the anticipation of FLUFFY MAIL..........
