The Huggies Extra Care Size 3 is a taped disposable nappy made for older infants weighing 6–10 kg who need a little more absorbency and room to move. This pack of 60 nappies is built around gentle skin care and dependable containment, combining soft, breathable materials with leak protection to help keep your baby clean, dry and comfortable through the day and overnight.
Size 3 sits in that busier stage where babies are rolling, sitting and getting more mobile, so the design focuses on a secure, flexible fit alongside a runny-poo pocket and leg barriers that help keep messes where they belong. A colour-changing wetness indicator takes some of the guesswork out of knowing when a change might be due.
How it works
- Runny-poo pocket: A pocketed back waistband helps contain runny stools and reduce leakage and blowouts around the back.
- Soft absorbent pillows: The soft inner layer helps absorb runny poo quickly and draw wetness away from the skin.
- Long-lasting core: The absorbent core locks away moisture to help keep your baby dry and comfortable for longer, including overnight.
- Wetness indicator: An indicator strip changes colour when wet, helping you see when it may be time for a change.
- Breathable outer: The porous outer material allows air to circulate, helping reduce moisture build-up around the skin.
- Leak protection: Leg barriers and a close-fitting waistband help contain wetness and reduce leaks around the legs and back.
A fit that grows with your baby
Fasten-anywhere outer tabs let you customise the fit as your baby changes shape, while a stretchy, flexible waistband helps give a snug but comfortable fit that still allows natural movement. The weight guide is a starting point rather than a rule — babies of the same weight can need different sizes depending on waist, thigh and body shape, so a good fit is one that sits comfortably below the belly button, lies flat around the waist, and leaves no large gaps around the legs.
How to use
- Place the clean, open nappy under your baby.
- Bring the front panel up between the legs.
- Fasten both tabs securely to the front panel.
- Adjust the waistband so it sits comfortably and evenly.
- Pull the leg cuffs outward rather than tucking them inside.
- Check that the fit is snug but not tight.
- Change the nappy when wet or soiled, and immediately after a bowel movement.
- Clean and dry the skin before fitting a fresh nappy.
During each change, clean the nappy area gently, dry the skin thoroughly, allow brief nappy-free time where practical, apply a suitable barrier cream if needed, and check the skin for any redness or irritation. Store nappies in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture, excessive heat and direct sunlight, and keep them in their packaging until needed.
Best For
The Huggies Extra Care Size 3 is a great option for parents who:
- Have a baby in the 6–10 kg weight range who needs extra absorbency and room to move
- Want a taped nappy with a wetness indicator to help judge changing time
- Are looking for help containing runny stools and reducing back and leg leaks
- Need absorbency that holds up through the day and overnight
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Have a newborn who needs an umbilical cord cut-out and a smaller size
- Prefer a pull-up pant style for a very active, standing baby
Disposal
Do not flush nappies down the toilet. Remove solid stool into the toilet where practical, wrap the used nappy securely and place it in an appropriate household waste bin. Dispose of all packaging responsibly.
Safety
Keep the plastic packaging away from babies and children to avoid the risk of suffocation, and never use the plastic bag in cots, beds, prams, carriages or playpens. Never leave your baby unattended on a changing surface. Stop using the product and seek medical advice if your baby develops severe or persistent skin irritation, blistering, swelling or signs of infection.
