Cloth suitable for preschooler night nappy?

Not sure if this is an impossible ask but DS 3.5 is still in night nappies and we're fed up buying disposables. However they are still wet frequently enough that we know he'll need a nappy for a while yet. Do reusables come in sizes big enough for a slim but tall lad who'll be four in August? He has a wee sister 2 yrs behind so if we can find something it'll get enough use for it to be financially worthwhile and we used washables for the first 6 months with ds so am happy to get back into the whole routine. Any brand suggestions and sizing ideas so I can start internet hunting? Thank you!

I'm not sure ! But try googling fill your pants... they're a lovely company for everything cloth :)

Little Lambs Size 3 might work but I'm not sure.

We have always used toddler size terries - 75cm squares - and waterproof pants. DSs 1 & 2 were six and a half by the time they came out of night nappies and the girls were both nearly five but we hardly ever had a wet bed from leaking nappies. As they got older we boosted the bigger terry with an ordinary sized one. You do need to use old fashioned waterproof pants though - we never found a modern style wrap which worked at night for older children. HTH

Little lambs size 3 say they are for 35lbs plus, I've just started using them on my little girl who is I think 90-something cms tall. They do a size 3 wrap too which fits over , or use a motherease airflow large or XL - they are the best wraps I've found so far - never a leak. Fill Your Pants had Little lamb bamboo nappies on 5 for £25 recently so not expensive either! Another large nappy option is Real Easy, they are a pocket nappy (Babykind selling for £6ish at the moment I think) with a big pocket that you could fit a folded prefold into - prefolds are v absorbent and cheap too. You could also ask The Nappy Lady for advice, she has a questionnaire on her website you fill in and get a tailored recommendation.

I clicked on here to second the Real Easy Nappies recommendation - I just ordered three in a Large from Babykind for DS who has just grown out of his motherease one-size and they're gorgeous and soft, and do come up quite large. (I'm going to buy him some more, they're that nice and I can never find them on the pre-loved nappy sites).

The extra-large size is sized for 45lbs / 20.5kg and up and are intended for 3-5 year olds apparently (see size descriptions here: www.babykind.co.uk/realeasynappies.htm)

You could try Motherease bedwetter pants, my boy is just 4 and wears a small they are a very absorbent pull up nappy so you can encourage him to go before bed etc. Also very absorbent are Super undies night time pull up nappies they go right up to about 10 yrs I think, then slimmer but less absorbent and more for the odd accident Tots bots training pants are nice and also have side snaps which are handy if like my DS they like to have an early morning poo. Went for a size 3 in these and they are perfect but don't go any bigger in sizing.
