Hi Kari, I cloth diapered for about 15 months (with a couple month break in the middle). I have 2 bum genius in our stash, but they are not really my favorite. The tabs are pretty flimsy and tend to curl up and catch on the baby's clothes. I have heard that they sell (or maybe under warranty give) a replacement tabs that you can sew on yourself. I'm sketchy on the details on that because I haven't done it for my two diapers, but definitely look into that before purchasing.

That said, I LOVE pocket diapers, and for me that was the only way to go (I tried a few of everything before I settled on that). And my favorite brand is Happy Heinys. Lydia still fits in a size Medium, I paid about $15/diaper, and the tabs are wide and no problems.

I really love cloth diapers, and am so thankful that we chose to do it. The key to our success I believe is that I never felt under pressure to do it. If I got stressed and overwhelmed, I would take time off and go back to 'sposies until I was ready to undertake it again. Another key is routine! The routine that worked for us was to throw the diapers in at night, chuck them in the dryer first thing in the morning, and then dump them in the diaper basket when they were dry. If I had time and energy, I would pre-stuff them, and if not then I would stuff as I went.

Sorry this is a novel, but definitely if you have any questions let me know and i will try to answer! Best of luck and happy diaper shopping!
