I notice this is a really old thread, but I'll still add my 2 cents
I used cloth on my own kids, so I have no issue with them. I had all kinds, from flats to AIOs, even some high end fitteds with wool covers. So cost effective-I saved money on #1, and diapered #2 for free (well water, and no real difference in electric bill). I require them to be ready to go (they must stuff/fold) and they go in a wet bag. I'm rural, we only do field trips on the property, so I never need to take it anywhere. I fold poop ones and stick in the bag for the parent. I prefer cloth because they go home-no extra garbage for me! I change all children as needed or after 2h, so leaks aren't an issue. I vastly prefer cloth trainers over pull ups because they actually feel wet, but hold all the pee so safer than undies.
