Wife was all "Nooo but the box says 27" and how poo will come out because it's loose and whatever but I ignored her and switched her anyway. No diaper rash since then, until a few nights ago when grandma accidentally found the size 4 leftovers and put them on her, and bam - diaper rash.
I personally think the age limits on a lot of baby stuff falls under this - like she can't have this toy because she's 5 months and 29 days, but suddenly tomorrow she can? - but of course your comfort levels may vary.

The diaper sizes barely even provide you with a general reference to be honest about what size your kid should be in. Weight in itself doesn't have a ton to do with what size they should wear. Are they short and stocky? Tall and lean? Both could be the same weight but damn that botty for sure way off.
Size 3 for example is 16-28lbs and size 4 is 22-37lbs. That's a 6lb crossover in the middle. Generally, it should be pretty obviously when diaper is starting to get big imo.
