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.

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 were expecting twins almost two years ago and after much research, I bought an Ubbi diaper pail (as well as their brand of bags). Then a couple of weeks after the twins were born, I bought a second Ubbi for our main living area. For awhile, I liked that there was little or no smell when the sliding pail door was closed. In that sense, the Ubbi was a good diaper pail - it contains the smell of what's being kept in there well if you're just walking by. But brace yourself for the odor that will waft up when you open the sliding door to dispose of a diaper and even more so when you need to clean it and remove a bag. I cleaned the pails religiously with Lysol wipes, I hosed them off outside, I tried hanging charcoal sachets inside the pail ... nothing made much of a difference. Oh and also, using any kind of wet wipe or liquid spray to clean and maintain these causes a rust problem quickly because they're made of steel. And one more thing: yes, there's a "lock" to prevent your child from sliding the Ubbi disposal door open, but there's no lock to prevent them from pushing the whole lid up and getting to what's inside, so you'll soon find yourself applying a Munchkin strap or something like it to keep the whole pail closed up.
If only I'd bought the Munchkin to begin with. I bought it in April 2019 to replace one of the two Ubbis that was rusting to the point of leaving marks on the floor, and I would have bought a second one if we hadn't been ready to consolidate to one diaper changing station. The Munchkin is SO much easier to clean and maintain, and there is virtually no smell when disposing of diapers. Even when opening the front door up to remove the bag, the smell is well-contained by the bag, locking system, and Arm&Hammer deodorizer. Also, because the bags themselves are smaller, you're forced to empty the pail more frequently than you would absolutely have to do with an Ubbi, which helps. I read reviews where people complained about having to close the top with your hand after opening it with the foot pedal, but really? That's nothing. You have to use your hand to push the diaper in, but that's no problem at all for me if the smell is contained, which it is.
Cleaning is a breeze and nothing seems to get as dirty in the first place as it sometimes did with the Ubbi. I wish the long side door closed a little more securely - it does pop open a bit despite supposedly needing to be released with a button, but I've locked everything down with two Munchkin straps. I also wish the bottom of the can had more surface area so it was possible to attach floor pads/bumpers to protect the wooden floor from my twins who like to push the can around. And yes you need to buy their proprietary bags so there's some extra cost, but for me, with twins, it's been completely worth it. You'd never know there's a diaper pail in the room now.
