  I really like Jillian's Drawers...

  https://www.jilliansdrawers.com/products/clothdiapers/clothdiapers/pocketdiapers

  I much preferred pocket diapers (see pocket changers which are BOGO right now) to a true AIO.

  We also liked the mini Happy Heinys.  They fit Livie (who was/is skinny) all the way from 5 pounds up to about 13 months.
  

  GBCB!

  Thanks! May I ask why you liked the pockets better? Are you still using cloth? I'm worried we may have fit issues too because Greta is still pretty slim.

  They Cutey Baby diapers look nice but I have never tried them.  I suggest you try one out before buying a bunch.

  I have 2 BG AIOs and they are nice since you don't have to stuff them but they take longer to dry.  I also like that I can stuff them with more inserts if needed but they didn't come with extra inserts. 

  We have been CDing since DD was 6 weeks.  The BG 3.0s leaked on her at first but she grew into them pretty quickly (DD is also skinny/tall).

  I like the bumgenius diapers for AIOs...but AIOs aren't going to work for all the time IMO. They're not absorbent enough for overnight or naps once baby starts peeing a lot. 

  Those cutey baby diapers look cute, but I'd have to see one in person to make a decision.

  I just reviewed a made in Minnesota AI2 diaper in my blog, if you're interested. The link is in my siggy. I really liked them.

  We aren't using cloth at this time due to my work schedule (6 days a week right now), but we will go back to cloth when my work schedule settles in a couple of weeks.  (probably going to training pants style though)
  

  As someone else said, AIO takes much longer to dry than the pocket diapers.

  Also, I much preferred having access to the 'inside' of the diaper.  It grossed me out that the inside of the AIOs had the potential to stay damp longer (if it didn't dry in the first round in the dryer) and I couldn't see the the filler to know if it was truly clean or not, kwim?  (but that is just me, I know others that love the AIOs)
  

  Also, Liv has never been a heavy wetter, so I liked the ability to un-bulk the diaper.

  Thanks for all the info! The interesting feature of the Cutey Baby diapers is that one of the ends of the inserts is connected to the diaper and the other end isn't so they are supposed to dry quicker than the average AIO. You can add additional inserts to them too. The new BumGenius Flips look neat. I'm going to go to Peapods this week to check some diapers out in person.

  there is a helpful free workshop run through amma maternity in edina that covers most of the available brands. we haven't tried any yet (due in july) but through that we decided to go with thirsties duo pockets. great workshop though as you can interact with maybe 20 styles/brands.
