How does this diaper work? Is it like Econobum or Flip, where you put a folded prefold/insert flat in, or diaper in a prefold and cover?

Yes, we use a ozocozy prefold in ours. It's very easy and personally way better than an AIO because if your cover doesn't get soiled you can put a new prefold in there and you should be good to go.

It's just like the Econobum or Flip covers - you can use either a prefold or an insert inside of it. We found that the Thirsties covers were really great for when our baby was very small, because they have extra coverage around the leg holes. But, he's already grown out of them (by 7 months).

Can do both ways depending on size of your insert. My baby is 7.5 months old and between sizes with the ozocozy inserts. For the small size prefold I lay the prefold flat inside a size 2 thirstie. For the larger size prefold, I lay baby down on both and do a loose diapering with the prefold because it is still big on him, then button up the thirstie over it & adjust the cover. When baby is bigger the size 2 prefold will lay flat inside of the size 2 cover.

Yes. You put the diaper insert into the diaper and remove them before each wash. I personally love pocket diapers, but if you're looking for on that just sits inside the cover, I'd look into Bumgenius Flips.

Truthfully I haven't had a lot of use with it yet since my baby is only 3 weeks old and we haven't gone out much. It's a simple tri-fold pad that secures with Velcro. It doesn't have pockets or anything to hold wipes or diapers, so if you think you'll need that then you might want to purchase the matching changing station. For me, I think I'll going to be happy with it since I'll always have the diaper bag around to hold what I need. The diaper bag is AWESOME.

It's a bit large to fit in a diaper bag (unless your bag is on the larger side) but it does fold up fairly compactly. We keep it in the car for times when we go to a restaurant or shopping. It is definitely thinner and less bulky than a lot of other cart covers.

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.

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.

It's the changing pad (cover) so it comes in a package folded up like a sheet. Hope this helps.

I can't imagine any diaper system would be very good for travelling or camping, unless you have a washer and dryer available. If so, then yes this would be great. The covers don't have to be washed every time and the prefolds can be used for everything - not just diapers. They take up a lot of space though... if that's a concern, you should try finding some all-in-ones or specialized inserts as they tend to be thinner.

To be honest, I thought the same thing and bought some myself, but never used them. I think you use them on the insert and then put the cover on? Never tried it that way. I do use the snappies on the other cloth diapers we have from our second child.

They go inside the diaper cover. They catch the pee and poop, so technically you can keep using the same cover, and just change the cloth.

I would go with the Happy Changer by Hulabye over this product due to the fact you can wash it and use normal changing pads under it. That way you don't have to cut slits in a cover or worry about poo getting on the strap part of this product.

I haven't used them yet as my son is a bit too small still. I did fold a prefold and stuff it in the pocket part of the diaper to see it it would fit (it did), and by my research they should work if you want to use them instead of the microfiber liners.

I have the oso cozy unbleached Birdseye flats and a few oso cosy toddler prefolds. The quality of the prefolds is fine, but they are huge, far too big for my average height, skinny 20 month old. I'm pretty happy with the flats, though, they are what I use most. For prefolds, I've actually found the dandelion diapers (either bamboo blend or cotton, DSQ) to be a trimmer, better fitting product. More size options, too.

I used the small as inserts for pocket diapers. Which would be more like pad folding for a cover. If you have a toddler you can get a medium, but I wouldn't go larger than that. They we're trim enough to not be as bulky as microfiber but more absorbent. I have since had to abandon all pockets for fitteds because my toddler is such a heavy wetter. I used them on a daily basis diapering 2 babies. They held up pretty well to the daily abuse.

They are diapers themselves. They come with inserts so you won't need prefolds. I have found though over the months I have had these, they are the same quality as my Alva diapers. Not sure of these are just "rebranded" Alvas, but Alvas are only $6 a piece FYI . Hope this helps :)

It doesn't really 'fold', it kinda rolls up and you secure it with the Velcro strap. The two plush sides prevent you from folding it. It will not fit in a diaper bag, but the strap allows you to carry it like one. I love it though. It keeps my little one secure and it has the cover that goes over the handle of the cart, which is great because that's the first place my baby puts his mouth. It also has two straps to attach toys to keep them occupied. The downside is that it will not fit in a high chair because of the padded bumpers on each side.

There are many different ways to cloth diaper. I use cloth prefolds (for the absorbent insert) with a waterproof shell (I recommend the Flip Liners). And then I use these liners on top of the pre fold to catch the poo so that all I have to do is grab the liner and flush it down the toilet. You can also use All-in-One diapers or any combination. I did not start using these liners until I was feeding solid food because if you are breastfeeding only the poo can be washed straight down the drain or the washer but once you feed formula or solids you need to flush poo down the toilet or throw it away in the trash.
