Thank you Nicola!
The pocket opening was put at the front so that it didn't interfere with the elastic at the back and the insert is less likely to poke out of the front of the nappy than on a back opening when where it can poke out of the back if the insert slips down as they often can do.
Some people (like me!) find it easier to stuff from the front where as others find it a bit more tricky- the nappy is just as reliable as a back opening pocket. Some people seem to have taken a real dislike to the front opening system- a fear of the unknown maybe lol! But it doesn't hinder or change how the nappy performs or fits.
Its also a little quirky! There are a lot of American and Australian nappy companies that do the same and is considered the "normal" way that a pocket opens in some places
