Kaden has been in a size 4 since about 4 or 5 months. It is the size he has been in the longest. He was pretty chubby until he started moving around and I am using the Pampers Baby Dry sz 4 and they are the only ones that don't leak so far.

I don't think that they weight recommendations have anything to do with it. Every baby is shaped differently. I actually believe that the weight is how much the diaper can hold LOL
I have stopped changing him in the middle of the night and after him peeing in it, it weighs about 10 lbs : | ↑

yeah Anika was in step 4 diapers by 8 months or something and she's 15 months now and JUST went to step 5.....

but i agree with randi about the weight thing. Anika should be in a step 4 still if i go by the weight recommendations, but she's got such a bubble butt, that the step five just fits better for her....

just dress them in what fits best...ignore the steps and weights and all that crap.... ↑

My second son is in a size 3 Luvs and he is 16 months old. Kingston just must be a big boy. Is your husband a big/tall man? ↑

I think it depends on the brand too. My husband is kind of small so maybe my son is too. ↑

I do it by the weight sort of. We always knew when to go up a size because the diaper wouldn't last through the night, even after a midnight change. ↑

I notice the cheap diapers did not last at night. So I would make him wear the cheap ones during the day and the expensive ones to bed. Luvs lasts through the night, Ingles brand doesn't. ↑
