I actually find the velcro alot easier on my wriggly man, but find the snaps often get a better fit on him...

So hard to tell really, sorry not alot of help.

Snaps! Velcro are easier to put on but also pull off, especially for rollers in summer.

Snaps as when they get older it is harder for them to take their nappy off.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

DH prefers velcro cause it means he can't screw it up (his words) but I don't really mind either way. Some days I like snaps some days velcro

A few months ago I would have said velcro as I find it is more adjustable than having fixed snap settings and was easier for DH to use because it is close to be liking disposables, but now Spencer can rip off his velcro nappies, oh and he can also take his trousers off. So after finding his naked and wet bum in his cot it is snaps all the way.
We also had a hideous occasion of him having ate his dinner and got in a mess so I stripped him down to his nappy put him on the lounge floor to play while I went and got some clean clothes and when I came back (all of 30 secs later) he had pooed and taken his nappy off

But is velcro any worse than disposables then?? I imagine that they can't be any easier/harder to get off... Just wondering...

Nope he can take disposables off as well. The only time he has a disposable on is at night though and so far hasn't worked out how to get into his sleeping bag and his jump suit to get it off, but he does try as i'm getting him dressed.
He pulls at his snap nappies as well but isn't strong enough at the moment to get them undone, which is good cos when its hot I like to leave him in just a nappy.

Definitely snaps! I just hate the way you have to worry about velcro sticking to everything, and snaps stay looking nice longer too.

I prefer velcro but it appears the itti bitti's I like are snaps so I get by. Velcro just gave so much more adjustability in my opinion.

The 14 month olds in my a/n group can get their velcro nappies off, but the babies with nappies with snaps can't.

Snaps are best in my opinion.

We have tried both, early on it was snaps but I couldn't get a good fit around Leahs chicken legs (the legs would be gaping and the waist fitting etc), so we changed to velco and that has worked much better. She has only ever taken her nappy off once and I find it doesn't matter who is changing her they are always done up right. Joel is now in his cloth and they are velcro too.

I prefer snaps mainly because velcro wears over time and collects heaps of stuff. it also sticks to blooming everything in the wash. in saying thatr though the rew velcro nappys I do have fit really well.

I have only ever tried snaps. I love them. But then again, I don't like velcro in general, because it wears out and doesn't always stick. And other stuff sticks to it.
