Best bet for 2 kids... ONE SIZE nappies!

They are a life saver for me when i run out of Medium size for Jasmine

Thanks Janie xx

Kim - One size fits all huh...i guess i'd need heaps of them for two or three kids though (although hopefully by the time I'm havin a 3rd, DS will be toilet trained!!) What are the prices usually ranging from? Any good brands you would recommend?? Are they the ones that look like disposables?

Id def recommend BumGenius (usually sell for around $28 each or if you can buy in packs or trial packs work out cheaper). Green Kids, Haute are some others i have in my stash i love

With my 2 girls i have a mix of One size and AIO (sized) i have 35 nappies between the 2 and i wash every 2nd day and thats plenty for me.

God there is so much stuff out there its confusing!!!! So I'm on a website and they have an introductory package for $160 and I'm wondering if this is what I should be going for, to get an idea of what is out there, what I would like etc etc.
In the package you get:
Bumgenius AIO
Tot Bots Bamboozle
Baby Greens Growing Greens (AIO)
Itti Bitti (AIO)
Bumis Superbrite Cover
Eenees Biodegradeable liners
nappy wetbag

So would this be a good start for me to try out some things? And I'm not sure what size I would need for a tall (reasonably skinny, no butt to speak of), 13kg, 16 month old??

Any advice?

I personally wouldn't get a starter pack like that cause it mixes AIO's and pockets etc. I decided to go for one 'system' so as not to confuse my H

I got pockets for the faster drying and LOVE our bumgenius one size pockets. We have Hautes but they have have only just starting fitting around our skinny boy's thighs and they wet through the fabric- rubbish IMO. We also have green kids which are stiffer but super absorbant and good for night time.

I say pick a system and buy a couple of the major brands to try them- that's what we did anyway and it's worked for us.
