I used cloth at home and 'sposies if i was out and about (about 5 sposies a week i'd think). I had a long lean baby and huggies were totally useless. My friend uses them with success but she has a HUGE (adorable) chubba bubba - her 6 month old and 2.5 year old can wear the same size nappy!

Huggies also don't print the size on the nappy here (UK). Don't know if that's different to AUS but it was annoying when she was moving up a size, having no way of knowing if i was packing a 2 or a 3 in my bag to go out, and yes, a few times i took the "old" size and ended up with a very soggy baby/wrap/t-shirt on the way home!

I moved to 'sposies full-time at around 5 months (i loved them! But XP had sold my next size up and i couldn't afford to replace them) and Aldi have been the best i've found so far. I never get leaks etc.

Sasa with cloth you CAN contain that explosion It depends what sort of nappy you're using, but i had bambino mio's and i used to roll the inner in from both edges instead of folding it in two (so it looked like 2 cloth sausages with a gully down the middle), slap that on the bum, put a normal wrap over the top and then a fleecy longer-legged wrap (like fleece cycling shorts! LOL) over the top of THAT. It gives you about 20-30mins before there's any risk seepage you have to contend with, once or twice it was only the next morning that i found she'd "burst"
