At the moment we have cushie tushies, an itti bitti and some baby beehinds. Im not sold on the CT. Having a few problems with leaks and the itti bitti is well, a bit itti bitti for my man lol. Haven't used the baby beehinds yet but hope to try them today.
DS is around 11kg and is quite tall so he is not fat but is solid so i think i need some bigger sized mcn's. Was hoping to build a stash so when baby #2 comes he or she can use them too but i'v realised its not really that easy. What works for one baby may not work for the other.
Cherubs Kiss Aureals are my absolute fav, love the side snap and are just a fab fit for my DS. Ittis are our work horse nappy too, DH always reaches for the ittis.
If you want nappies for a toddler and a newborn, adjustable pockets are probably your best bet. I found all the OS AIOs/snap-ins and fitteds with the newborn fold-down that I tried had a ridiculously wide crotch for a newborn bub. Pockets are great cos you can put in a narrow little insert when they're teeny and need frequent changes, and beef them up easily when they start weeing more.
As for different brands - depends totally on the current shape of your baby! Mine is narrow crotch (so Ittis and Genesa Forge are way better than Baby Beehinds for us, and I haven't bothered trying GreenKids), chubby thighed but slim-waisted and with a long rise; I am still trying to find the ultimate AIO for this shape, hence current love of pockets.
Also, I found this 'name your top 3' thread on the essential baby forums was a useful survey.

(mods, I hope this is ok as it is not a commercial link?)
Has anyone put together a list or poll like this on BB?
