It's good to have both. Because, they work for different people. For instance: My mom uses Velcro on LO because she has arthritis and can't use the snaps too well. My husband likes the snaps because it fits the same everytime. (less margin for error)

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I don't have a preference of Velcro over snaps. Each has their place in my stash.
Agreed. We have several snaps diapers in anticipation of S learning to remove velcro, and because a lot of the diapers we have (WAHMs) are only available with snaps. We also have velcro diapers for daycare and babysitters (a lot of daycares won't deal with snaps), and use a fair percentage of prefolds at home so use snappis. The one thing listed that I don't really use is pins.
I've liked them all (except for pins, never used them) at different times and for different things.
I love the snappi for prefolds. I love velcro for middle of the night diaper changes and the newborn stage so I could get a more custom fit. I love snaps now because J can't undo them and I feel like it's a more secure fit.
she won't be using daycare for awhile anyways. She wants to go back to work, but probably not for the first year because they will be moving 8 months after the baby is born...
Kms! Congrats on the pregnancy! VERY exciting!!! Good to "see" you!
Re: Clicky Poll #2 Velcro or snaps
Depends on the age of the LO and purpose of the diaper.
I like snappis for infant b/c I like prefolds.
I like velcro for overnight
I like snaps for every other time.
Snaps just because he can take off velcro, even underneath clothes.
But only bumgenius snaps, I like lining up two snaps, not three thousand ones placed in different spots on the diaper.

Will she be taking LO to daycare and using CD's? Our daycare doesn't mind snaps at all but a lot prefer velcro. Just something to think about!
love is for every her, love is for every him, love is for everyone

This, and in my stash, Snappis have their place, too. I use all three closure types daily.
