any experiences with bamboozle nappies or icandy cherry buggies?

I've been on the internet for days now looking at all the options and these both look good - but it seems a big decision to make.
I'm pretty certain on the icandy cherry buggy but the nappies is more of a dilema.
Is it better to get the big packs with everything - better value but more of a comitment!? Does anyone mix and match ie some bambozzles and some tots bots cottons? Will the bamboo go hard / crispy if I have to dry them on the radiators?
So many questions! Help much appreciated!

ime, but a particlular someone always implies i talk tripe about nappies , bamboozles do not go hard on radiators amd i am in a hard water area.

as for mix and match, i have 2 or 3 of some brands/types and the rest are whatever looks cute, took my fancy etc but with so many different nappies I have a nappy for every scenario! lol

I have to give them a shake and rough them up a bit but they don't go hard like cotton nappies that you could sand a wall with after they have been on a radiator!

Knowing what I know now, if I was starting out and drying solely on radiators I would go for fleece pockets as the main bulk of my stash.
They dry soooo quickly and are so soft.

I use bamboozles and cotton totsbots with a couple of bambinex thrown in for good measure. I'd recommend them all.

I'm so glad I got a mixture though ...they have all kept soft (soft water area) but the bamboo ones take an age to dry and I think that would have made me disappointed with them if I only had those. Cant go wrong with the cotton ones though, they will stand up to anything.

Have a look at the classifieds on here there are some good sites.

Thank you!
A mixture sounds like a good idea. What sort of wraps are best?

Minki pockets do not need covers so are great, just stuff 'em and pop 'em on.
Wraps I really like best are LoveBums, BearBehinds and CottonBottoms. The latter are designed for prefolds, but I have no problems with them over little lambs, mumsbums fitteds etc etc.

I do not however, like Minki covers as hey tend to cut in on both my kids legs, one who is skinny and one who is chubby yet their pockets are great.

Motherease (airflow and Rikki styles) are great with the tots bots. The airflow seem a bit roomier, but work equally as well.
