Snaps

💜 Colour coordinated to nappy
Snaps are a great option for one size fits most nappies that are going to be used every day for a long period of time. It lasts much longer and is much more durable.

Hook and Loop (Velcro)

💜 Quick and easy to do up. Great option for daycare and grandparents.
💜 Easy to get a good fit all of the time

💜 Can be easy for a toddler to undo and get off
💜 Generally only comes in white
Hook and loop is a great option for daycare and grandparents as it is easy to use and is the more like using a disposable nappy. It is also great for the newborn stage as you can get a really good fit and aren't restricted to where the snaps are.
