I purchased this cover and some thirsties duo inserts. They don't seem to go together. Does the duo insert just lay in the cover? No way to secure it

Yes. There's a little flap in the front you can tuck the insert under, but other than that, they just lay in there.

mmm, no, the insert are for those cloth diapers that have pockets. Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r15KaJmssKM this is where I learned a lot. No affiliation with the girl in the video, I don't know her, but I like the video. If you watch at minute 01:55, then after minute 09:40, you will know what I mean. The one we both have is designed to be re-used several times, while the ones with pockets you use inserts then put the whole thing in the wash. What you need with these are prefolds. Either buy them (some are really bulky, I regret buying them) or make your own. ANy cotton material should work. mmm, no, the insert are for those cloth diapers that have pockets.

It just lies inside the cover. The cover can be used over prefolds or with Flip inserts. I use it with Nickis prefold in large and it's very good. My LO is 7.5 months and it just fits her well. She's 18lbs. I think the duo inserts can be used for them.

I would refer to the Thirsties website for specific info, but you could always try laying the insert inside of the cover and see how it works. I use my cover with fitted diapers and prefolds with a snappi. The covers do a really good job of holding moisture inside.

There's one Velcro strip in each end of the cover near the bottom. Just secure those to tighten them and they hold the cover on snug.

Hi, it is normal for it to wiggle for slightly. If the fitment is too tight, it would be hard to remove and re-insert. It should fit tight enough so that it won't slide around though.

I haven't had that problem with mine, maybe just make sure the plastic seal on covers are secure

Remove a plastic clip on each side in the back and it works like a charm. Squeeze them to remove them. Happy With cover

I personally used both the duo wrap and diaper covers do not come with inserts, the cover has a smaller weight range than the duo wrap because the duo wrap has bottons (as well as the Velcro) to make it bigger as you need it

Does your latch snap into place if you pop the cover down? I have to pop cover down and finagle the latch to secure it, otherwise cover will pop back up and not latch.

any kind of insert/cloth diaper will work with this cover. Thirsties has their own inserts you can buy, but I just bought a couple packs of unbleached cloth diapers (the original cloth diapers our mothers used) that I use with these covers. Once the cloth diaper is wet, you can change out for a new one, but use the same cover and just wipe out until it is dirty (from, say, a poo explosion). These covers are just an upgraded version of old plastic covers that were the only thing available 30 yrs ago to go over the cloth. I hope that clears it up!

After the first washing and air drying it did not appear that the cover shrank. Yet when we put the insert in the zipper failed. It would zip just so far so I used a safety pin across the zipper to stop it from going off track. It seems that their is a problem with the zipper. I would like to look into getting a replacement as well. Have you contacted anyone to see if replacement of the cover is viable?

Hi Mona, Make sure that the main unit or the charcoal filter inside is not in backwards I did this once and it drove me nuts late at night. I came back in the morning and found my problem. ALso the cover should slide without any resistance.

Christopher, I hade the same problem until, I cleaned the oil of the insert and tapped it in using a block of wood and hammer and it stayed. I have been using it ever since with no problem. I hope this helps. Khalid

I have not figured that out yet. Same with me one came in place and I am afraid to try and remove it. Sorry

I had the same problem: but I kept working with it & finally it fit well.& now I still have problems-- sometimes the top or the back falls off,I just snap it back in, so yes, it does not fit very well, should have a betterfit - I think. thank you

I think the lip sits so high because of where the clamp is. It is positioned in the center of the front and rear sections. I've tried making the clamp on the front tighter and it doesn't help. I've had the cover on my truck for a year now and it has always been like that. Its the only complaint I have. And as far as the clips not fitting I'm not sure what you mean. They just kinda hook under the lip inside the bed. They don't really lock in or anything. I'm sorry if I'm not getting what you mean by that. I kinda decided to look over the front sticking up a little bit because of the price. This was the cheapest one of this kind I could find and it seems to be holding up well.

I have the same problem. However, when I first purchased this product, it fit fine. Now, I have to giggle the basket until it feels that it is sitting properly. Making sure the basket is locked into the slotes and it drops down a bit, you usually have it in right. I believe this product is made very poorly.

It's not easy to get it, is it? Without instructions what we did was put the cover on top (after threading the string through the holes) and then tied the string tight so it stayed. I was not happy with the cover and have since tossed it...it sagged in the middle and trapped rainwater that would turn muddy and it was impossible to remove the cover without getting muddy water in the pool. The cover design needs improvement. Good luck.

It doesn't snap in place, but it is held by the two screw like things on the sides. It should be pretty secure. Yours might be defective.
