I've seen this same diaper with either 3 or 2 snaps in the front. Does this one have 2 or 3 snaps? Any pros to snaps vs velcro?

There are two snaps on each side. But they are only in a single row. So they go horizontally they are not vertical. There are rise snap so you can adjust for a smaller or larger babies and there's two settings but three snaps vertically. As to the Velcro versus snaps: for ease of use I always find myself grabbing Velcro first. It just is so much easier to get the perfect fit, and it's just easy. Except you do have to remember to use the laundry tabs when they get yucky so that means when they have poop on them and you want to just put it in your diaper bin you have to remember to fold the tabs and which kind of sucks, and my husband always forgets. Another downside to the Velcro is they really will not last as long as snaps. I have not looked into it but there's a lot of videos on how to supposedly, easily, repair the Velcro. I have repaired elastic on my diapers and it's pretty straightforward so that should be similar. That being said I prefer to buy snaps, with the hopes that they will last longer. On some of our diapers I've noticed even after only two months of use, and using the laundry tabs, that the Velcro just isn't the same. that worries me. With my first child we got by with only snaps and it was just fine. Hope that helps!

Just checked the diaper. There are three snaps on each side of snaps at the base. Ten snap up along the top. Two snaps on the tabs. We've been using them pretty hard for eight months only had to replace a few of them. We are still in size one.

The ones we have have two snaps on the tabs and several (I wanna say six but I'm not sure and not near one) on the front to allow for a good fit. We prefer the snaps as our little one quickly learned how velcro works. He likes to "help" with the diaper, and so far he can't undo the snaps.

This diaper cover has two snaps on each tab. The front of the diaper has two rise settings and each rise has three snaps. As far as velcro, i havent tried it with this brand, but i have tried it with two other brands. I do not like velcro. It wears out over time and if it becomes unfasted in the wash it snags onto things and can really mess other diapers up. Hope this helps.

Yes. These you don't have to stuff the inserts. They have 2 flaps that act as the inserts. It's a all in 1 cloth solution. My husband and I both work so I felt that this was the best "green" and laundry solution for us. We love them. They fit our baby great from 3 months on. We got the one with snaps. I have heard the velcro can wear out. We have saved so much on diapers and really like the cloth option.

No, the only snaps are on the inside top strap. The rest is Velcro. It all does work really well, we have had it for quite awhile now through some big rain storms, no leaks.

I would like to add a comment to the people who stated that there was an opening at the bottom. They are absolutely right. I went the Velcro route and that did not work, because the sticky part of the Velcro would seperate from the two bottom flaps. I solved the problem by installing snaps with a kit that I purchased on line. No more unwanted visitors.

My daughter is almost 5 months old and 15 pounds. While i have been using this diaper since she was about 10 pounds,and loving it, we use it exclusively for night time as i still find it too bulky for daytime after snapping it down to fit her. I imagine this will change when she is bigger. We use it with a disana wool cover and this has been a bulketproof night time system. I have also used it with a blueberry one size snap cover and it worked great also. I cannot say enough good things about the pooters diaper. So well made, so absorbent, easy to wash. We love pooters. Hope this helps.

I would recommend trying different kinds of diapers until you find what works best for your baby. But I will admit, this is one of my favorites!! I much prefer the snaps to the Velcro, because they are softer and more flexible. I use these covers with bamboo and charcoal bamboo inserts. I wash every other day. I think at least 20 covers and 40 inserts is a pretty good number to get started, but I'm sure you will have so much fun finding different diapers, styles and prints you will get many more!!

There are 3 positions provided by the 2 snaps on either side. For small, snap the two lower snaps together. For medium, snap all snaps together. For large, snap to two upper snaps together.

It is velcro. But it is a long strip and very strong. You can have wipes and diapers in it and not worry about it falling open.

I tried that at first but found it was unnecessary. I just fold the cloth to fit the cover and snap the cover over it. I paired with the thirsties snap cover and have been diapering this way for 18mo.

There are no snaps. There are double straps, one to go under the chin and the other to go behind the head. Both straps are adjusted by knots.

We have both. The Aplix is much easier than the snaps. We have heard the Velcro doesn't last as long, but we haven't had any problems. Been using it about 4 months now. They are both great at adjustability, but the aplix was better for smaller babies.

The velcro makes it easy to open and close. I always left the very bottom closed so it would stay attached and open the rest of it to easily get to my baby. Hope that helps!

This is just the waterproof shell that goes on the outside of the diaper. You will need the absorbent insides. You have several options here: 1- you can use an old school flat diaper which you fold and pin around your baby. If you use those, you will need "flats" and something to pin them with, either pins or snappis. 2- you can use what is called a fitted diaper. Those are less intimidating than flats. They look similar to the outer shell but are soft and absorbent. They sometimes have snaps on them to close them and sometimes not. If they are snapless, you may want a pin or a snappi. 3- you can use prefolds which are really similar to flats but are already sewn into a partially folded shape. You may want a snappi or pin for these too. 4- you can simply lay something absorbent into this shell without pinning or snapping it around your baby. You can use a folded up flat or prefold for this or a cloth diaper insert (NOT the microfiber kind because those cannot go next to baby's skin, but you could use hemp, cotton, or bamboo). In this case you would not need pins or snappis. I don't like this as much because it doesn't contain poop as well and so poop can get on the cover which means you have to use a new cover. If the cover doesn't get poop on it, you can reuse it. Hope that helps!

Its a much tighter fit. The "betterfit" feature is shorter meaning once trifolded it should fot the exact lenght of the cover. With that being said it doesn't have that extra allowance to work with to fold around the baby at the top. So if you want to snappi it buy a size larger or so with the standard or premium not the better fit option

No. Deffinately get a cover, I would even say get two. Sometimes late night diaper changes turn into a disaster, that's how I ended up getting a second cover.

No ponchos have male and female snaps along each side. If you connected a male snap of poncho 1 with the female snap of poncho 2 the female snap of poncho 1 would be separated by the connection from snapping in to the male snap of poncho 2. Why not just buy a tarp?

Congratulations!! It will be too big at first. My baby's first cloth diaper cover was Bummis Super Brite, size newborn and it was perfect. The prowrap works but it is a bit cheap and sticky. Good luck!!!
