The size of diaper that a 3 year old child wears is between a size 5 to size 6 diaper depending on their weight.

Some 3 year olds are skinnier than others and some 3 year olds are heavier in weight than others and have a bigger waist.

But for an average size 3 year old child they will usually be in a size 5 or 6 diaper.

If you get a size 6 diaper the 3 year old should most certainly be able to fit in it and if you buy a size 7 diaper for the 3 year old they should easily fit into the size 7 diaper with more room to grow.

Size 6 and size 7 diapers can usually fit a 6, 7, 8 and even a 10 or 13 year old with ease.

So it would be better to get a bit larger diaper especially if you know the 3 year old child will still be needing to wear them longer.

A 3 year old wears a size 5 diaper or a size 6 diaper.

Then again some 3 year olds may be a bit bigger built and need a size 7 diaper.

But for the average size 3 year old they should easily fit into a size 5 or size 6 diaper.

Also keep in mind that some diapers run smaller or larger than others so a size 5 may be similar to a size 4 in some brands of diapers.

While a size 6 in a diaper such as Pampers may be larger than a size 6 in parents choice diapers.
