Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail with 10 Count Refill Bags

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program So, when our first daughter was born we were given a Diaper Genie for a baby gift and told that it was going to be a lifesaver for us. It was a great addition to the nursery and it did save us from smells, but the whole loading and unloading was rather gross, especially when it came down to splitting that thing in half and taking out massive bags of dirty diapers. For me, the Munchkin Diaper Pail is a step above all things Diaper Genie, and while it could use a few convenient touches, I have to say that I am wholly impressed with this and recommend it heavily over the newer editions of the Diaper Genie itself.

Some have complained about the lack of a foot pedal, and while I do contest that a foot pedal would make loading dirty diapers into this thing a tad easier while in process of actually changing a diaper, I can't really complain about this lid because it is FAR more efficient for keeping out odors. One of the problem I had with both of our diaper genies (we got a new one with each child) was that over time the door just wouldn't close all the way and so the room always smelled like poop. Sorry, it just didn't work well. There was no latch and so the hinges got weak and eventually there was always a slight gap where the lid should have been sealed closed. Here, there is an actual latch and so the door closes shut and stays there. The fact that the bag locks in each diaper when you close the lid is a major bonus as well. I also have to say that removing the bag of dirty diapers is far easier with this pail than with the Diaper Genie. The side door is a wonderful asset and the fact that I don't have to stumble all over with a gigantic bag while folding my Diaper Genie in half all over the floor is a great thing in itself.

My only issue here is the height, which is a shame since if it were just a few inches taller it would be more practical. Especially when you are eliminating the floor pedal and requiring the user to use his hand to unlatch the door, it would be nice to not have to bend over so far. Still, it is a minor complaint for how great this product is.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program This product pretty much does what it claims. When you close the lid, it doesn't just cap the pail, it pinches the bag shut too. It seals tight enough that somewhat stinky diapers do not stink up the whole room, it can mostly be operated one-handed, and it's pretty easy to load and remove the bag. We've found that about 10-12 size 3 diapers fit into a bag before it gets too full to use easily. (You can cram a few more in, but then it's hard to get the bag out of the plastic stand.) I'm not convinced that the baking soda helps, but it doesn't seem to do any harm.

What frustrates me about this is that there's no foot pedal. When i'm in the middle of a diaper change, i have two options: set the balled up used diaper aside, open the diaper pail, retrieve the used diaper and shove it in, and close the pail, or hold the balled up used diaper in my hand while trying to open the diaper pail, shove it in, and close it.

The latter is possible, but awkward. The former is just annoying. A foot pedal would not only save me time, it would mean i didn't have to touch quite so many things before washing my hands.

So, in terms of reducing diaper stink without having to take each and every dirty diaper out of the house as it's removed from the baby's backside, this is a winner. In terms of basic usability, well, it needs a foot pedal.

We have been using this for almost a month and I am so happy with product. No odors whatsoever. You wouldn't know there is a diaper pail sitting in the corner unless noticed. Also diaper bags hold good amount of diapers. Great buy. I would definitely recommend this product

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program We actually bought this to use as a place to put our doggie poop bags and we keep it in the garage. It is FABULOUS as far as ease and in the sweltering heat of the summer...our garage remains odor free. It's a cinch to set up, easy to use, and if it keeps dog poop odor under control, I can imagine it would be excellent for baby poop!

Huggies Pure & Natural Diapers, Size 3, 52-Count (Pack of 2)

I bought these after they came out because my son (now 13 months) had just outgrown swaddlers 2-3 and I've been hating the cruisers we're using. These diapers are great, they have no smell and are really soft to the touch. We have had no leaks whatsoever, they are so absorbent. The tabs and back are very stretchy, much more than pampers which is the big difference in terms of fit in my opinion. My son is tall but has a small but and these diapers fit way better than the pampers did (even the swaddlers which i loved) They are definitely 'premium' diapers though. They are about 34 cents each verse pampers which are 25 cents but I calculated that to cost us about 140 a year total and for no leaks and my babies comfort I'm going to use these until we have a problem. I wish huggies would come out with a gigantic box though, like 200 count or something but since they are new I'm sure it won't happen for awhile. I like that they are chlorine free and reduced dye and will biodegrade more than most diapers but I am certainly not oblivious to the fact that they are still disposable. We can't do cloth for various reasons and I have tried ones like seventh generation and they caused huge rashes. These huggies in particular don't have the little sticky beads like that pampers had either

We started with Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive and really liked them. However, when your baby gets to size 3, you can no longer get that diaper and have different needs (more flexibility, less padding, etc...). We bought a small pack of every diaper we could find in size 3 and tried them all on our baby. We liked these diapers the best. In fact, if we had known about them before, we might have sued them from newborn on. They are just great. They are so much softer than the rest of the size 3 diapers (closer to the swaddlers, but maybe even softer). For some reason the rest of the diapers at this point start using this rough plastic-type material on either side of the absorbent padding. We liked how absorbent these are as well. We also liked that there were less dyes and that our baby didn't get a rash after wearing them. Best of all, we liked how they fit and that our baby didn't have any blowouts (which we unfortunately did experience a couple times with some of the other diapers 7th Generation being the worst blowout we had ever seen).

At first, we only used Pampers on our son because they were so absorbent. But then, when he kept getting a rash every time we put Pampers on him, we tried several other diapers including:

Earth's Best--These were absorbent but also papery. Also, parents whose children have good allergies should beware. These diapers are made with corn and wheat, and our son is allergic to wheat.

Seventh Generation--These didn't seem to cause a rash like Pampers and Earth's Best did, but they leaked a lot, especially at night, sometimes multiple times.

The Huggies Pure and Naturals feel nice and soft and are pretty absorbent, although not as absorbent as Pampers, but our son doesn't get a rash, so we're sticking with these, unless we can find a more absorbent diaper. I do prefer the Pampers' sticky tabs to the Huggies' velcro, but once a baby gets older, it's not as big of a deal if the diaper leaks since the baby's waste is more solid. I think I would still try Pampers though for the newborn size.

I used Seventh Generation Size NB-2 diapers but when we started my son on the Size 3's, they had a rough tab that rubbed his legs almost raw within a day. I wanted to stick with the "pure and natural" so I've started using these.

Of course, as usual, the Huggies quality is great and my son's sensitive skin has had no problems with the diapers. I gave them only 4 stars because I don't believe they're truly as pure and natural as other earth-friendly brands.

Also, they are quite expensive, but much more affordable using the amazon.com Subscribe and Save program-free shipping and a discount is unbeatable!

Even though I cloth diaper, I still like having a backup disposable diaper. My husband still isn't on board with cloth, and on days that my daughter goes to the sitter, she uses disposables. 7th generation has been my go to backup diaper, but they're expensive.

I tried the huggies pure and natural since Pampers Sensitive still has perfumes on them. Now I will say that it is a very soft diaper, and dare I say it, pretty one. 7TH generation feels kinda stiff and looks less appealing IMO (but as my hubby would say, who cares, it's a diaper, its going to hold poop and pee and get tossed)

In my experience, these leaked a lot and the tabs didn't hold as well. My baby was well under the weight limit for the size 3s but she leaked out of all them, even at night when she wasn't crawling as much.

To be fair, I only used about 6 or 7 diapers, then ended up giving away the rest. So I don't know if there was some other issue that would have corrected itself in time.

I don't recommend this diaper, and will be sticking to 7th generation.

Nuby Booster Seat

I am very pleased with this product. My daughter loves to use it as her own chair in the living room so it is mostly used as furniture rather than a booster seat at the table. It does fit nicely on to every chair we've tried. It's very easy to clean, too. It comes with study restraints that are easily added. We keep the restraints off when it sits in the living room.

Lambs & Ivy 5 Piece Bedding Set, Luv Bugs

I bought this for my niece and fits perfectly with her pretty in purple bedroom theme. The quality is soft yet sturdy and has survived many washes without color fading.

I LOVE this bedding set! I don't like the traditional pastel baby colors and I prefer purple over pink, so this set was perfect! I was looking for something with purple butterflies, and this has butterflies AND ladybugs, but I still love it. The best part about this set is the quilt. I was so stunned by how SOFT it was when I took it out of the plastic. It is PLUSH, heavenly, softness!!! We had thought about hanging it on the wall but it is so soft we don't want to deprive our baby of laying on it and enjoying it. This is a great set because it has a beautiful deep purple color as well as a lighter purple/pink plus the green accents so you can take your nursery any direction with it. I have purple curtains with green tie backs in our nursery and it matches great! I highly recommend this set, it's high quality and beautiful!
