Product Description
This is the new Gold standard in diaper pails! Step is the only pail that combines best in class odor control with a modern, sleek aesthetic that looks great in any nursery and an easy to use foot pedal. Even better? For every single diaper pail sold, Munchkin will plant a tree. We're on a mission to reduce gassy emissions both inside and outside the nursery. The Step diaper pail works with both refill rings and snap, seal and toss refill bags, the choice is yours! To lock in the stink, the pail relies on the odor busting duo of lavender scented Arm and Hammer baking soda and patented self-sealing technology, sealing in odors as the lid closes. Lastly, each Step comes with a Munchkin lavender scented Puck, which continuously absorbs odors while the pail is not in use and keeps your nursery smelling sweet (like babies should). Additional refills sold separately. This is the perfect pail, to have in your Home, and also works as a great registry item! Take a deep breath, because the Munchkin Step Diaper Pail has arrived.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

Customers find the waste bag difficult to open. They mention the lid starts to get difficult to close well before the bag is full, and it doesn't stay closed. The door is a little fickle about closing, and the bag sits open a bit, which doesn' t help contain smells.

Some of the reviews complain that the sealing mechanism at the top of the bag doesn't seal after there are a few diapers in the container. You don't have the bag adjusted right. With the refill ring, you have to knot the bottom of the bag and make sure that a couple inches of bag ABOVE the knot is touching the bottom of the pail. (SEE PHOTO.) Then the weight of the diapers is sitting on the bottom of the pail and not pulling down on the closing mechanism. It doesn't waste any bag, because you're still only cutting off whatever portion is full of diapers and then pulling the extra down to use next time.
Some of the reviews complain about how this does not contain smell. Without fail, little one always poops in the first diaper after I've changed the bag in the pail. I still put the poopy diaper in the pail even though I know it's going to sit there for a while before it gets emptied again. There's never any smell. When I change the bag, I put the used portion into our kitchen trashcan (where it sometimes sits for a bit, too) and then the trash just smells like the Arm & Hammer smell of the bags - not dirty diapers. I love that both the bags and the disc help control the odor. If you buy a different brand refill ring, that might be part of the problem, too.
Some of the reviews complain that you have to empty the thing a lot. Despite the fact that I don't have any problems with smell, I can imagine the probability of the used diaper smell escaping increases with every day you don't empty it. I'm glad it forces me to change the bag every couple days so I keep the smell from becoming a problem.
Some of the reviews complain that you have to push the diaper through the sealing mechanism. Get over it. You're washing your hands after you change the baby anyway.
Some of the reviews complain that you have to push the lid of the container down after you put the diaper in. This is how the pail closes the sealing mechanism. Pushing the lid down allows it to reseal with more force. I would rather have to push the lid down and get a good seal than not close the lid and risk dirty diaper smell.
This is my first diaper pail, but I use the one at my friends' house when I babysit their kids. They have one of the old school ones where you put the diaper in this little cup thing and then pull the handle down/up to transfer the diaper to the pail. You still have to push something down (lever vs. lid) and the smell gets through on that one. (Although there's no Arm & Hammer associated with that, so maybe that's the difference too.)
Overall, I think this is a really great diaper pail. It's really unobtrusive and it might cost a few dollars more than its competitors, but if I had to go back and buy a diaper pail again, I would still get this one.

We have used it as directed and just in the last few months has it been starting to "leak" odor even when only one or two diapers is in it, which I attribute to the fact that one of my son's two parents has always overstuffed the pail, stressing the mechanism that keeps the bag twisted when the lid is shut. I have always changed the bag, so that's less likely to be the reason. Can't win 'em all.
PROS:
1) Lid is flat which means you can add a child lock! And the button to release the inner door is under the lid, so the kid can't open the inner door if they can't get the lid open.
2) As is, it's easy to use one-handed. Push the lever with your foot and shove the diaper into the bag.
3) Odor control is awesome. The pail twists the bag closed and has a heavy-ish lid, and the stock bags are thick. We use off-brand bags and haven't had a problem with those either, though.
CONS:
1) It's rather large if your nursery is small, but my experience with diaper pails is limited.
2) The scented pucks are RIDICULOUSLY expensive for what they are.
Two pieces of advice to avoid odor leaks:
1) Leave the tail that the manufacturer suggests. It's not there to "waste" bag; it's there to keep the bag sitting on the floor of the pail when you add diapers. You do not want excess pressure pulling down on the mechanism that twists the bag closed, and having a bag that hangs instead of resting on the floor will add excess pressure.
2) DO NOT overfill the pail. If you can no longer add a diaper without force, it's full. Change the bag. Overstuffing will also stress the mechanism that twists the bag closed and prevent it from closing properly.
You can take the pucks apart and add your own baking soda and fragrance if you want to not pay $5+ for a nice scent. I use cheesecloth as a bag and add baking soda and fragrance oil. I'm sure there are better ways, but I'm too lazy to do more.
If you're concerned about bag cost even with off-brand bags, you can get a diaper pail and a trash can. Throw stinky diapers in the pail, and all other diapers in the trash can.
Overall, I am incredibly pleased with the performance of this pail. I have no regrets when purchasing. The scented pucks are a nice touch as well, which we've used roughly 50% of the time. It definitely isn't a must to mask leaking odors, but it's really nice when you're changing a particularly stinky diaper.
