Summary: 

I used cloth on both of mine.  I use disposables when traveling, so have some
experience with both.  I've found that:

- it's faster to change disposables, but i have to change them more often.
	and they get rashy and "marked up" by the plastic legs.
- my kids both needed double cloth diapers as a rule, not an exception.
	You can even triple them at night to ensure a good night's sleep.
- Make sure the plastic pants are very roomy.  that makes it easier to get
	them on/off, and seems more comfortable.
- Don't take the plastics all the way off for a change, just pull them down.
	This speeds up the process, and also keeps the little feet together!
- Make changing time fun by talking, making faces, blowing in hair, using
	favorite toy that takes TWO hands to hold!  That last tip is the
	only thing that keeps my 7 month old from squirming away!

I saw ads for the product you mentioned, but have noexperience with it.  Just
remember that velcro has it limitation - like, when the "grabbing" side gets
"full", it doesn't work anymore!
