My son was diagnosed in February 2011 at 2 1/2 years and began the omnipod in April right before Easter. Overall, we love it!!!! It has given us a lot more freedom and flexibility. We chose the pod because:
It is tubeless
You do not have to wear anything on your belt or pocket
It is waterproof
It is small
It has a PDM that is wireless
IT is Tubeless!!!! Easier for a toddler to keep on his little body.
