What size diapers is your 2-year old wearing? (POLL INCLUDED)

[conniez]

DD will be 2 in February, and while she IS a peanut..I'm still having a hard time deciding which size diaper to buy for her. She's wearing size 4 or 5 Luvs, which - despite the weird/narrow fit - have NEVER leaked on us! In the size 4's, it seems like I have to try to center her booty a bit, but they can hold what's dished out to 'em! :ROTFLMAO: The 5's seem to be a bit wide/tall so I have to fold them over a bit. Any opinions on which to stick with as the 4's are obviously a better deal for the $, but want her to be comfortable.

ETA: At her last check-up a couple of months ago she was only she was a little over 22 lbs., so she's probably within the weight range of size 4 still. Maybe she just has a big booty?

DD wears Huggies size 4 (the cheaper Huggies--from Costco). She technically is still in the weight range for size 3, and I do still have a few around (in spare bags and such), and they do still work. But the 4s are just easier to deal with.

DD turned 2 last week. She weighs almost 25 lbs. and is about 33" tall. Also a peanut. :)

dd pt at 18mo

[WatchingThemGrow]

Tiny-butted 2 yo and big-butted 7mo are both in size 4 and both in hanna size 80. I think you should consider moving her up soon.

[mommylamb]

DS is 2.5 and he has been in size 5 for about a year now. He's on the big side though (at his 2 year check he was 95% for height and 75% for weight).

[daphne]

I just moved DD up to size 6.

[jse107]

DD is in a 6. She has her 2 year-old check up next month (3 months late), but currently she weighs about 30lbs.

[alexsmommy]

He was a 4 from 2-2.5 and now we just moved to 5's. He's 50% for weight and height.

[KpbS]

DS2 is almost 2 and has been in size 4 (Target house brand) for 6 mo. I think.

[cono0507]

My 2 yr old DD wears size 2t-3t pull ups. We are close to being potty trained. Yay!

[purpleeyes]

I voted other- DD is wearing size 5s, but I am thinking of moving her to size 6. She has been getting little red marks where the elastic is on her leg, probably a sign! :)
But, she did pee in the potty for the first time last night :cheerleader1: so hopefully we won't need them much longer!!

[Cam&Clay]

DS2 was 2 in December. He weighs 25 pounds and is 25th percentile and has been in size 5 Pampers for months.

[belovedgandp]

Umm, yeah, I'm putting my not so small 2 1/2 year old in a size 3 huggies still. It still fits; doesn't leak, why move up?

I think he's been in a size 3 since before he turned 1. I really don't remember. I was close to moving up when he decided to start growing up instead of out. He's been right around 31 pounds for 6 months now, but has been gaining height much faster than weight for almost a year. He's just over 36 inches now.

I put him in 4's at night for the past few months because he has leaked overnight. I have about 1/2 a case of 3's left and was planning on buying 4's permanently when these were gone, but we're going to PT this weekend, so he may never technically wear a size 4.

[wellyes]

DD is 22 months and I hope to keep her in 3s for a loooooooong time. The fit fine.

[pb&j]

DS is 4 now, but he PT'ed at age 2.5 and was in size 4 at the time. He was big - 75th percentile for height and weight - well over 30 lbs at 24 mos. He was briefly in size 5's, but exchanged some girth for height and went back to size 4's.

[SnuggleBuggles]

Turned 2 in Dec. and wears a 3 in the majority of the brands.

My 22 month old just moved to size 5. DH thinks they are too big on him, but I would say hes 29 lbs or so. The size 4 were getting really hard to fasten around his waist. They looked uncomfortable. I think size 5 fits good.

See, this is us. Well, my 2 year old is pretty small, but she'd been wearing size 3 Cruisers with zero leaks so I haven't bothered to switch.

I found 3 cases of size 4 Cruisers on clearance at Target for 50% off and we'll start using those when the case of 3's I just opened is gone. My hope is that they will be the last dipes I buy for her. She's already interested in PT.

[maestramommy]

Arwyn is a little over 2.5. She's been wearing size 4 forever, but can wear size 5. I just have to cinch it in a little more. She's a peanut too. She has been wearing size 5 Overnights before because she's a very heavy wetter.

[zag95]

DD is 2 today! She has been wearing the Kirkland brand in size 6- weighs 30.5 lbs

Congrats!!!! Wishing you a swift potty training experience.

[daisymommy]

Hannah has always been my little peanut. When she was two, I think that she was in size 3's. And when she turned 3 went into 4's.

[SnuggleBuggles]

I'm thinking this diaper size range is crazy! :) My size 3 wearing ds is 25lbs and 33", same stats as some kiddos that are wearing a 5. He is still comfy in 3's, they don't leak and you get more in the pack for the same $. :)

Yea, I don't have a 2yo yet, but I wanted to read the replies. Um, my 4mo is in 3s. :ROTFLMAO: 3s must last forever.

(My 21mo is in 4s in name brands; 5s in generics. Earths Best are KILLIN me because the sizes look exactly the same, and I have 1 LO in 3s, 1 LO in 4s.)

[ZeeBaby]

DD is in size 4s, she is almost 20 mos. I just got some size 5s, because getting her into the 4s was too much effort. The size range on the diapers are ridiculous. She was in 4s for almost a year though.

[mommyp]

DD was in size 4 Cruisers forever. We recently switched to 5s because the 4s seemed a little short. She's on the tall and thin side.

[GaPeach_in_Ca]

My older son wore size 4 until he PT'ed a little past 2-1/2.

My younger son is 21 months old and in size 4. He's been in size 4 forever it seems and I wasn't planning on moving him out anytime soon. After reading this thread, though, I am thinking about trying size 5. I was thinking just to leave him in size 4 like his bro, but he's heftier (27lbs, no idea how tall) and 5 might be better. 4 does leave a few marks.

[boltfam]

DS is in size 5 Kirkland diapers. I have tried the 4s since I know it's a better deal but they seem to small for him.

[HIU8]

at 2 DD wore a size 6. At 2.5 DD is now PT.

[maydaymommy]

I voted other b/c 2.5 yr old ds has been in underwear for 2 weeks now! WooooHoooooo!!

He's small - 28lbs - and he had been wearing sz 4 Huggies Supreme as well as overnights. Now his "crib undies" (aka pull-ups, ssshhh) are 2t Seventh Generation. He's wearing them for nighttime only and it's working great b/c they are much more like cloth and don't look anything like prior diapers. Not that you asked, but I recommend them if you need something transitional.

For a few weeks I had the new baby and ds1 in Huggies Pure & Natural. The designs on those are very light and more than once I put the size 4 dipe on the size 2 babe, accidentally. Worked surprisingly fine. Not so much the other way around!

[gatorsmom]

The twins turned 24mo in November and at that time they were still in Huggies 3's. However now, 2 months later, I've switched them to 4's because they started leaking more often. At their 24mo well baby apt they weighed 24lbs.

[AnnieW625]

DD who is now almost 4 was just under 30lbs at her 2 yr. appt. We used 7th Gen. diapers for the most part so she was in a 5, but in a pinch where either we forgot a diaper at My Gym class and they were out of 5s or 4 she was still skinny enough to get into a size 3 Luvs or Huggies. She was in size 5s until she potty trained at 37 mos.; she still weighed between 30 and 33lbs. then!

[sariana]

Yeah, diapers will fit differently depending on the shape of the child. The upper limits on the sizes would be for long, skinny kids. A 2-year-old who is 4 feet tall would weigh quite a bit just from bone weight but might still fit in a size 4, which goes to 37 lbs. (Eek! Can you imagine a 4-foot 2-year-old? Talk about car seat problems!)

Despite my exaggeration, the example still holds true.
