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, everywhere. STEP works with both refill rings and snap, seal & toss refill bags, the choice is yours! To lock-in the stink, the pail relies on the odor-busting duo of lavender-scented Arm & Hammer baking soda and our 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!). 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.

Q: Is this lid on this supposed to close on its own or no? I have to push it down every time.
submitted by MelissaH - 7 years ago
A: Ours is the same way. I don't think it's supposed to close on its own.
submitted byMichelle - 7 years agoA: You do have to push the lid down to close it. The pedal is to open the lid only.
submitted bypaulwilder - 7 years agoA: I have to push mine down sometimes. Major con for this bin is that you have to push the dirty diaper down into the bag rather than just dropping it in. It's a little gross.
submitted byDeniseKory - 7 years agoA: should close on its own, but times you may have to push on it.
submitted bymellmell - 7 years agoA: You have to push it down every time to close the bag inside.

Q: Searching for adult diaper pail. Will this hold adult depend size diapers.
submitted by Rp - 6 years ago
A: Yes, I think this will be fine. I use it for my elderly dogs diapers. Good luck!
submitted bymell mell - 6 years agoA: Good morning. At this time we do not make/sell any diaper pails (including our STEP Pail) that are made/tested for use with adult diapers.
submitted byMunchkin - 6 years agoBrand expertA: the whole is slightly larger than your fist. not a good idea. my newborn diapers barely fit.

Q: Tell me about the noise when you step on the pedal to open it.
submitted by TNFLATLANDER - 7 years ago
A: Good afternoon. If you are experiencing issues with your Step pail please kindly reach out to our Customer Satisfaction Team directly: 800.344.2229 or cserv@munchkin.com Thank you!
submitted byMunchkin - 7 years agoBrand expertA: The unit is plastic and there is a slight ratcheting sound primarily from the lid when depressing the pedal to open the lid. Once the lid is open; you have to push it closed with your hand. I have opened it with my baby sleeping in the same room and it quiet enough it does not wake her.

Q: hello, I've never used one of these before, much less even looked at one. i haven't had the baby yet, but i did get this as a gift. i just wanted to know, when it gets full, how do you take it out?
submitted by Boostedb - 7 years ago
A: There is a spot on the inside of the pail where you cut the bag. You then tie the bottom of the bag and fill it up again and again.
submitted byQsmomma - 7 years agoA: I suppose you want to know how to dispose of the bag lined inside the pail? This is literally a trash can made especially for dirty diapers so you will simply need to remove the full bag and toss that away. You'll then replace the bag and bam, that's it.

Q: Can the Genie bags be used in this pail?
submitted by Debi - 7 years ago
A: I have tried the up and up genie refills and they fit so I would assume so, but did not try the brand name genie refills
submitted byDissatisfied - 7 years agoA: Good afternoon, Debi. The Step Diaper Pail cannot be used with Diaper Genie branded bags. For a list of bags that can be used with the Munchkin pail please visit our website: http://www.munchkin.com/all-potty/diaper-pails-refills.html

Q: How many diapers can this hold? I know the only size down only holds 30..
submitted by Vcarlson - 7 years ago
A: This holds about 30-40 size 2 diapers I'd say. I can never smell the diapers. Great product!
submitted byAmblk - 7 years agoA: Good morning. The Step Diaper Pail can be used with the individual Arm & Hammer Refill bags which hold up to 30 diapers each and with the refill rings which can hold up to 272 bags each ring.
submitted byMunchkin - 7 years agoBrand expert
Q: Can you use regular trash bags with this diaper pail?
submitted by AO - 11 months ago
A: Good afternoon, the Munchkin Step Diaper Pail is designed for use with our Munchkin Arm & Hammer Snap, Seal, & Toss Bags and the Munchkin Arm & Hammer Refill Rings.
submitted byMunchkin - 11 months agoBrand expert
Q: how often do the odor pucks need to be replaced?
submitted by new momma - 2 years ago
A: Good morning! The Arm & Hammer Pucks should be replaced every 60-90 days for freshest results.
submitted byMunchkin - 2 years agoBrand expert
Q: What is the model number for this pail? Trying to locate replacement Arm and Hammer pucks has proven to be difficult. I ordered some on another site and they were not the same size.
submitted by Bgotts - 2 years ago
A: The Arm & Hammer refill puck, is called the The Puck. It is one large, single pack Arm & Hammer freshener and it will work with our Arm & Hammer Step diaper pail, and our Arm & Hammer PAIL.
submitted byMunchkin - 2 years agoBrand expert
Q: Does it have an air freshener type smell?
submitted by angelicness11 - 2 years ago
A: Good afternoon, when using the puck with your Munchkin STEP Diaper Pail, it will provide a Lavender-scented baking soda smell.

A much more rugged and reliable pail design than the competing diaper genie (which you should avoid). It costs a bit more but it’s worth it. The setup is easy and there’s nothing to fall apart. As long as you remember to close the lid, the smell is non-existent. It looks decent too. It can be a little concerning when it makes a jittery noise when you close the lid, but no big deal.
Love it

I got this as a gift with my first baby and man! Me and my husband love it! It does trap the smell and hold more than enough diapers. We also notice that when the lid starts making a cranking noise, it means it’s already full and it’s time for a change.
Works well for me

I’m not sure why this doesn’t have the best reviews. If yours is not closing all the way or making a cranking sound, your pail is full and the bag needs to be changed or pulled down. I like the product overall and don’t have issues with it not closing.
Not worth it

This diaper pail is truly a waste of money. The front of the pail doesn’t close, it’s constantly cracked open and you have to manually close the lid. It’s definitely not convenient or worth the money. Skip this unnecessary purchase.

The lid doesn’t always fully close and I only notice it when I start smelling dirty diapers and I wonder why. Also, the cranking sound this makes when you close the lid is so loud. It always startles my son and you could hear it on the other side of the house.

This is a very janky product. I received it as a baby shower gift so can't return it since no receipt. The top makes an insane loud screech every time you open it and the door wont fully close.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love the Step Diaper pail! with a baby thats really getting into solids the smelly diapers are really piling up! We like the size which can handle a good amount of dirty diapers. The best part about this is really how it locks in smell - for an apartment where nothing is hidden having a pail that smells good (love the arm&hammer scent) and actually looks good with our decor is so important!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Step diaper pail has many great qualities including the air freshener and twisting bag seal. The bags can be ripped when it’s full and tied off to create a new bag. Just make sure to double or triple knot the bottom of the next bag.
The best in the game!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We originally put the diaper genie on our registry and opened the package and tried to slide open the door to put the diaper in the pail and it was nearly stuck and quickly realized that wouldn’t work when everything you do with a baby you do one handed. Looking to exchange it, I read great reviews about Munchkin’s STEP and bought it. If I could give this 6 stars I would. It’s so easy to open and close. I can easily do it with one hand or less. And best of all, it doesn’t smell at all! It seals tight and you’d never know there was dirty diapers in there. I go over to my friends houses with the diaper genie and I have to walk out the room sometimes. Lastly, it looks great! Highly highly recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did the Ubbi, we did the Genie, we did it all, but all failed us until the Munchkin Step! Seriously can’t say enough about this diaper pail. First off, our previous experiences were frustrating because of the size of the pail itself and the frequency in which we had to keep swapping out the dirty bag. With the Munchkin step we feel we are finally emptying the bin at a NORMAL rate because it holds way more than any other pail. Secondly, I absolutely dreaded opening the other pails because of the stench however Munchkin step partnering with Arm and Hammer was absolutely genius to make the actual opening and dumping a much more pleasant and bearable experience with the scented feature. I love the sleek look of this pail and the ease in which the diaper goes into the hole. Often times with my old pails I found myself battling to get the diaper through the hole. Overall a fantastic product with excellent quality! Highly recommend!

You have to shove your hand through the diaper to push the diaper down into the bag. The hole is too small for a normal diaper. It wreaks, the bags have no indication when it’s almost done, so while shoving hand into the diaper into the bag the bag will fall off throwing the diapers onto the bottom because you can’t tell when the bag has run out. So your left picking up diapers. don’t recommend.
