    suggestions for mcns please?

    Hello all!

    So Im after some suggestions for MCN's.

    When DD1 was a bub we had her in peapods and bbh's. We never got DD2 into mcns, mainly because I highly doubted I would ever get them dry in the house we are in.

    This time round I want to get some new mcn's for sprout next year. So I was wondering if I could get some suggestions as to some great mcns (that preferably are easy enough to dry in cold damp weather that we seem to get all year round)?

    TIA

    I got the papoose ones on ebay, about $50 for 10 of them. They're very boring in terms of design and fabrics, but we never really use them as an outermost garment, so aren't fussed.

    We dry them overnight on an airer inside, and they always dry fine

    We haven't tried other brands out (as we just use the papooses, and then terry flats) but there are *loads* of other options, which I'm sure other ladies will fill you in on

    Thanks peanutter,
    I hadnt heard of papoose's, shall go and check them out.

    The loads of options makes it even harder to make a decision about a brand or anything. Yeah Im not into designs as such, although sprout will be a summer bub, so maybe they will have their nappy showing a bit, so maybe I'll have to get a couple of cute ones

    Do you have any preferences - like, AIO's, AI2's, pockets, fitteds?

    Too many to name so if you can tell me what you think you would like, I can narrow down some recommendations for ya

    Itti bitti tuttos are pretty awesome. The shells dry super fast and the inserts I hang out then finish in the drier for about ten minutes.

    To be honest, I dont really mind as to type. This time round Im more after easy care, faster drying (In the weather we have here it would take ages for BBH's to dry without using the dryer) and long lasting (Peapods dried faster but they pul seemed to stretch and go funny after a while)

    At thsi stage Im open to all suggestions

    Im a fan of Maz's nappies, they dry quick as and are a great price thats what i mostly have. I have my work horse baby beehinds which are great but do take longer to dry (there not the new pocket kind..hate them lol) I have a few pretties which are angletears and dragonfly magik which dry quiet quick as well

    We love our swaggers nappies!!!!!! They are the only MCN lined with coolmax so they are uber light and also dry on the spin cycle in the machine its nuts!!!

    And we find they keep her more dry then any of the others plus they are an all in one with snaps on the front the first snap fit DD when she was born which was good cause she was a 00000 and the others just swam on her and we are only on snap 2 now so it will definately last her till toilet training!

    Dryability is my main criteria. i go for pockets or snap-ins (i think they are Ai2s).

    i like itti bitti snap ins, but don't really like the tutto and can't see it working nicely on a newborn.

    i have a different set of nappies (fitted + cover or prefold + cover) for newborn age til bub fits a medium nappy. then i use mainly sized pockets or Ai2s.
