Aplix pockets for a larger toddler?

in Eco-Friendly Family

My two year old is 30 lbs, 34 inches and over the last month has suddenly started leaking constantly out the legs of his BG 3.0s. I have stripped them multiple times, haven't used any new detergent in years and they are still leaking.

I know they're suppose to go to 35#, but DD outgrew them around 2.5 but thankfully potty trained about that time so it didn't really matter. I just realized that DS now weighs two pounds more and is two inches shorter than DD was at two so I'm thinking that he has just outgrown the BG.

The other problem is that I need aplix since DH and my ILs don't do snaps. Any suggestions?

 TIA!!

    my toddler is small so the BGs fit well, but i have a happy heiny that is huge on him, i hear they fit larger kidlets better.

    We switched to toddler prefolds and Happy Heiney's pockets.  DS is 35# and 37" -- and sadly, has no interest in PL right now.

    HH work much better for a bigger toddler, in my experience.

    DS has a few Happy Heineys large pockets that are plenty big - the aplix reaches completely to the middle (whereas he's near the edge on his BG AIOs)

    I never even thought of this! DS is 35lbs and about 34 inches - of course he may be growing out of the BG. Duh. (Sorry, stupid moment for me.) His BG look small, v. low in the rise, and he's got permanent builder's bum. Now that you mention it, I'd love better fitting diapers as I think we're also a long way from PT/PL!
