I have the entire Mio system. It was all given as gifts at my showers. I love the system and think the prefolds are very good especially.
I however am not entirely satisfied with the covers.
Now this is my fault, but a couple of them I forgot to Velcro before washing, and in just one wash they now look like they are months old. On those ones the Velcro is starting to curl up, and the elastic on the legs is begging to wear out. On the ones that I have remembered to consistently Velcro, they still look very nice and in very good condition. I think the washing tabs that ones like "Thirsties" have would be useful on these.
The Velcro on these is very good, I feel like the ones that have held up are still very strong. The only thing I don't like about it is how it comes so high. A number of times I have noticed it folding in slightly and it looks painful for my baby. I don't think it is very comfortable, and do not like to have my baby sitting straight up and down in these without loosening the Velcro. Also, I think the leg holes are to large. I usually have to assume that if he has had a bowel movement (breast milk, not solids) that it is on his cloths. He is slightly long and skinny, but has some good fat as well but the leg holes still leak. I actually sewed the fabric on the leg holes to make them smaller, that helped quite a bit.
The elastic that is on the back though is superb, I have never had an explosion up the back.
So.... if you don't mind lots and lots of poopy leaks, you should go for these, they are cute and have good Velcro. But if you want no leaks, washing tabs for the Velcro, and a product that holds up well, get "Thirsties" Brand covers. We just moved to those and I am so happy with them. A better product and cheaper.
I would however recommend the rest of the Mio system. Slightly overpriced, but it makes it convenient and easy to have everything you need in one line. I especially recommended the liners, they are larger than other brands, the cheapest I have found, and if they just have pee on them I wash and reuse them and they hold up for numerous washings.
