hi, I bought my son 2 bumgenius AIO last November to try out and then I kind of stopped using them (it doesn't help that my dd misplaced one of the inserts during play.) I want to get back into it but the more I look at the different diapers, the more I am liking the idea of using prefolds with covers.

My concerns..

-He is 8 months old now and still a heavy wetter..
-The bumgenius were v.2.0 so they don't have the little fold over up front like v.3.0. He seems to leak lately when I use them as his shirt touches the top and gets wet. Am I doing something wrong?
-He's a good sized kid. 19+ lbs and seems to be longer in the trunk... I buy him in 18 month clothing.
-bulk. he's already a bigger kid (next to my dd he seems giant) I don't want to try to minimize the bulkiness as much as poss.

What I am thinking...
-I'd like to go with prefolds or inserts with the diaper covers.. since I still have to change him often the thought of wiping/rinsing out covers and reusing them sounds like it will be a better fit for us..
-I'm looking at bummis and bumkins.. I think I'm liking the bummis more but I just don't know much about them and I don't have any retailers nearby.
-Will I be able to do the prefolds without snappi or pins realistically, I really don't want to have to use those..

I'd love to hear your opinions, esp. if you have a boy.. I'm just worried about him leaking up front and kicking myself thinking I made a bad decision..

Thank you so much, I just spent 3 hours tonight reading and searching and reading..
