Tyler, I to wear cloth diapers, and can say they are better for all, you dont fill waste sites, and they are more comfortable. The plastic pants are a must, but i hope your dad finds the clear ones, my mom bought me some from a clearance sale, and they have bears, on one, clown on another, and toys on the third. I look like an over grown baby when i wear them, but they do keep the bed dry. john
