    Hi I've bought the latest version of Bumgenius (4.0 - apparently they fixed a few of the earlier issues) and I love them. In fact they form the bulk of my stash now.

    My suggestion to you is buy one and see how it goes because it depends on the fit on your baby. When DD was a newborn I used bamboo prefolds (with cover) or Kissaluv's fitted (with cover) as the OSFM doesn't really work well when they are tiny.

    I also bought one Happy Heiney, one Fuzzibunz and Bumgenius. I also really liked the Fuzzibuns. The only reason why I bought more of the Bumgenius rather than the fuzzibunz was that the BG are wider in the crotch and so I was able to stuff them with the bamboo prefolds I bought (as well as the microfibre inserts that come with them). If I didn't have the bamboo prefolds I think I would have gone with the Fuzzibunz as they are SO adjustable. I suggest buying one to see how you go. I didn't like the Happy Heiney one at all. It was a very bad fit for my DD (quality wise it was fine).

    I also have AI2s (which my husband prefers as they are easier to "assemble" than pocket nappies). I tried Abby Gro and BubbaMoo. I prefer the Abby Gro as they fit better. It might be worth trying just one to see how you like AI2s as well.

    Sorry to blather on but the important thing is to try before you buy heaps!
