I've used many different brands of cloth diapers so far, and the Kushies cover definitely holds its own.

Pros: Very durable, this cover didn't get ragged in the wash. It also fit narrower in the crotch than many other covers. The price is the best you can get on a new diaper cover. This cover took up less space in a diaper bag and fits better on my baby. It doesn't hold stains or odors and the design is cool.

Cons: Made of a more raincoat type material. Manufacturer claims it fits 10-22 pounds. It fit great at 10, but at about 16 pounds my baby was able to "pop" the Velcro so it has been retired. The material didn't seem to affect the temperature however, my baby stayed cool in this cover.

Overall, this is a good cover for the price. I was able to sell mine after I stopped using it for close to the original price because of how new it continued to look after heavy use.

I purchased this at a very reasonable price of 7.49 and now it's up to 8.49 and I would have to say that Thirsties are a better bang for your buck at a few dollars more.
- CLOSURE: Velcro is very flimsy. My daughter - 5 months old - can easily wiggle out of these diapers unless I have a cover waste band tightly over the velcro, holding it in place - with movement the velcro easily pops open on its own. Thirsties uses I believe aplix velcro that is much sturdier and withstands wear and wash better. There are also no tabs to secure the velcro for washing, so you get lint build-up that further weakens the velcro.
- FABRIC: Cute pattern on a plastic material, but has its limitations. Thirsties is more of a PLU, plastic-lined polyester, which is more like fabric and has a bit of stretch, so the size range is greater. I purchased the Kushies medium size, as I recall a 15-18 lb. range - ??? - and it fit our baby very well at 14 lbs., but I don't see it lasting much longer than 16 lbs. It is a nice compact design, but because the fabric has no stretch, it has a more limited fit range.
Overall, it was a good product for the low cost that I initially paid, but as they say you get what you pay for and it will not last as long due to the limitations of the materials used.

This is a decent diaper cover for the money. The graphic design is very modern and one of my favorite parts. I like the "gusseted" legs which keep moisture in and prevent the diaper from slipping out. The velcro seems sturdy, as does the stitching. In comparison to Thirsties and Bummies brand diapers it is lacking a few key features 1) no velcro to connect the straps to when washing to prevent velcro wear out 2) no velcro on the back of the straps to allow overlap to accommodate babies with waistlines that are at the lower limit of the waist size 3) no front pocket to keep the prefold diaper in place.

The absence of these features doesn't affect the overall function of the diaper cover, the diaper stays in place and I haven't had any leaks. In comparison to the other brands, it is cheaper which makes up for the absence of the aforementioned features.

When I first got this diaper cover in the mail, I was very displeased with it. I was expecting it to be like my Thirsties and Nappies, but it's not that kind of diaper cover. Lately we have been using flat-folds and prefolded diapers, and this is where this cover becomes useful. It's like a vinyl cover, except it's better. When our son poops especially, because I can just un-velcro it instead of pulling the soiled pants down around his legs. It's a lot easier to use.

We LOVE this diaper cover! It fits out 22lb 13 month old and our 35lb 3 year old (who is completely potty trained but wants to wear it for attention. I love the print. Great cover if you use prefolds. We do pocket diapers and prefolds only because we love this cover so much.

I bought two of these because of the "bargain" price... definitely a waste of money. The velcro is a poor quality--it comes apart when my baby kicks!

I used these brand new(only washed once and they were hung to dry) and they leaked. The moisture wicked to the outside of the cover and the fabric around the legs ended up soaked. I do change my baby frequently and I wouldn't consider him a heavy wetter so that definatley wasnot the problem. they are cute but not worth the money spent on them.

I read all the review and decided to try this cover anyways. I love it. i dont have any leaks. i think they are really cute and work well with prefolds. I use them for my daughter for over night cause they have a little extra room so u can stuff them more which is awesome. And at a great price!! My sugestion, every kid is different. My daughter is chubby and these work great, maybe some of the people with a prob have slim children.?

Not what I expected. Made of a stiffer rubber pants type material. Was expecting a softer, quieter, more comfortable wrap to keep her dry.reminds me of the rubber pants from the 70's and 80's but with a print and ve

I've recently started cloth diapering my 4 month old and decided to try a few different wraps. I use regular Chinese prefolds with a wrap. Here are my reviews.

Kushies Taffeta Diaper Wrap Infant : This is an amazing price. The design is cute, it's very lightweight and it has the velcro and double leg gussets I like. But, it's very baggy. This works great over a fitted diaper and not very well over a prefold. My baby is pretty long and skinny, so that may be part of the problem. I have a few fitted diapers and like to use this wrap when she wears them. The material is much more vinyl-like than a regular pul wrap. I don't really mind it, but it might get uncomfortable in warm weather.

Thirsties Duo Wrap Snap, Hoot, One : There's a reason this is the number on listing under cloth diapers. It's awesome. The design is great, the fit is great, the fabric is great! I do prefer velcro since my baby likes to wiggle, but that's a personal preference. ( Thirsties makes these too ) The snap system is very sturdy. I like the fact you can change the size of this cover to fit different babies. With only 2 sizes, they are worth the initial price since they last so long. I haven't had any leaks and that includes a major mess my daughter made last night. It cleans wonderfully. I will be buying all Thirsties from now on.

Bummis Super Whisper Wrap, Celery Dot, 15-30 Pounds : ( I actually bought the small size ) This wrap is super cute. The velcro is nice since my baby is a wiggler. The fabric is slightly thicker than any other wrap I've used. I think this might be the problem. My daughter wet through the prefold and it got on the wrap. I had to wash it 3x to get the smell out of the cover. I haven't had that problem with any of the other wraps I've used. I also would prefer a double leg gusset and this is a single.
