Diaper Swappers

Which would you recommend? Both are priced the same, but Diaper Safari has more color options. I need to get 2 more covers without spending much, but I'm torn between these two. In case it matters, I'll be using primarily with prefolds and flats, but I always pin or Snappi and never pad fold.

I really love my Diaper Safari covers. I am doing a mix of prefolds and flats and no matter how I stuff, I get no leaks and they fit just beautifully. I have a skinny 11 pound 5 month old and find that I can simply adjust the snaps to get that perfect fit. A lot of the other covers aren't so adaptable. I also really love the quality and stretchiness of the PUL. I don't have any of the Imagine covers, but I do have some of the pockets and I just don't like the PUL or fit as well. I think I may just be a special case, though, because of how difficult it can be to get a good fit for my baby. I should say that I tend to really like imagine products overall. I have the bamboo flats and unbleached prefolds and am really happy with those.

I have no experience with the imagine covers. But, I have the DS covers and really love them. I have also been extremely happy with their customer service. (I have no experience with nickis customer service, so that's not a comparison - just a statement)

They fit my nearly 3 year old and still have lots of snaps left. They will fit him forever I am sure.

Thanks for the input! I already ordered a couple of DS covers to try, but they won't be here for a few more days. If I like them, I'll probably just order a couple more of those but maybe hold out to see if their next sale is on covers instead of pockets. I really need them to do the same deal (B2G1 free) on covers.

Okay, so I just got my covers in the mail, and they look HUGE!! These look way bigger than my Flips (just got those, too) and every other One-Size Cover I've had in the past. I didn't expect them to be tiny, but I'm still surprised. I'm sure I'll still make them work, but I don't know that I'll order any more right now. However, they are super soft and stretchy with cute colors!

its been a while since I owned my flips but they were never a good fit for us I found them really wide but the snap arrangments gave us bad wing droop as well (tried as an infant and gain latter as a toddler) I appreciate the higher rise of the DS beacuase I dont have to do excessive pulling and tugging when putting them on my child. They are a bit more narrow as well so we get a much easier fit. I loved the quality of BG but the fit sadly never worked for us.

Does the diapersafari have exposed snaps? Do they irritate LO when trifolding?

Yes, the rise Snaps are exposed, but I haven't tried them yet to know about irritation.
