Munchkin Arm And Hammer Diaper Pail, White Description:
The Arm and Hammer diaper pail by Munchkin uses the odor-eliminating power of baking soda, combined with the patented self-sealing system to lock odors away. The pre-filled, vented baking soda dispenser sprinkles baking soda each time the lid is closed and continuously absorbs and eliminates odors even when the pail is not in use. The patented self-sealing system automatically seals the bag when the lid is closed and keeps it sealed when the lid is reopened. The disposable refill bags, each of which can hold up to 25 diapers, shut tight with a snap and can be easily tossed and replaced without cutting or tying. Includes (1) pail and (3) refill bags. Measures approximately 21″ height x 11″ depth and comes fully assembled.

Customer Reviews:
Ok diaper pail, but not the best
We have 2 kids and over the last three years have owned or used at least 6 diaper pails including this one (ranked in order of preference):
Diaper Genie II Elite Pail System
Diaper Dekor Plus Diaper Disposal System
Baby Trend Diaper Champ Deluxe, Blue
Diaper Genie II Pail System
Munchkin Arm & Hammer Diaper Pail
Playtex Diaper Genie Twist- Away Pail System
Topline:
- It’s an OK diaper pail, but I wouldn’t buy another.
Pros:
- The baking soda is an interesting concept for odor control
- It is great that the baking soda cartridge is refillable vs. having to purchase another one.
Cons:
- ** The lower compartment is maddeningly easy for babies/toddlers to open (and apparently fascinating) which allows them access to the plastic film bag underneath. This seems like a serious safety issue. ** (see note below)
- Despite the baking soda, there is no real difference in odor control (plus since the bags are a set size so you can’t do a “short bag” if you drop in something really stinky)
- Pail is very short (just above knee level on someone 5′ 3″) and when you have to push the diaper through you have to bend even farther
- Top hatch is difficult to open with one hand that is also holding a diaper (since the other hand should be holding the baby on the changing table)
- The “squish” factor involved with pushing a wet (or poopy) diaper through the chute is pretty gross and you can’t get a diaper in without touching it.
- Base is wider than most (so it takes up more floor space in apartments and/or small nurseries)
- you go through the baking soda very quickly
Aside from my concern with the safety of the accessibility of the lower compartment to small children (maybe I just have a dud pail), I would say this pail is OK. It does the job, but it would not be my first choice. If the baking soda really works I wish Arm & Hammer (or Munchkin) would just sell the refillable dispenser to stick in the top of my regular diaper pails.
UPDATE 12/21/09 - Munchkin was very quick to respond to my concern regarding the door and confirmed that they have improved the design to make a truly child-proof lock.
Simple and Stinkless!
I have owned the Diaper Genie II and the Diaper Champ, both of which have some flaws– the Diaper Genie is excellent about odors, but it’s pretty gross to try to squish down a full diaper, and it’s hard to tell when a bag is getting full (or, sometimes, when a refill is running out). Diaper Champ is much better about the gross-out factor (you don’t have to squish anything– you just put in the diaper and turn over the lid), but it’s absolutely useless when it comes to odor.
This one beats both of them, and comes close to perfect.
First, it does seal in the odor. It kind of feels space-age in the way it rotates the “teeth” closed each time you close the lid. As you close it, it sprinkles just a pinch of baking soda toward the middle of the bag. I’m not sure how necessary that is… I have had no trouble with odor in my Diaper Genie anyway… but it can’t hurt.
Second, I love the fact that you can open the door in the front and see how full the bag is. I’m also storing an extra bag in the bottom.
The “you have to squish the diaper in” factor, though, is still there. It’s a bit better than with the Diaper Genie– you don’t have to squish quite as hard, because the opening is a little more “forgiving” than with the Genie’s “I’m-not-giving-more-than-an-inch” feature. But any amount of diaper-squishing is too much to me. I wish the opening were wider when in the “open” position, so the diaper could be tossed in without risking the big nastiness of what might squish out.
I like that I don’t have to cut or measure or tie bags. What would make it perfect is if it could widen the opening or somehow incorporate a foot pedal (like Safety 1st).
If I were doing it all over again, though, I’d go with this one first. The price is reasonable and it seems like good quality.
Good concept, needs better design….
This has a great concept of using baking soda to help eliminate odors from dirty diapers, although the way the bag design is set up I’m not entirely sure that the baking soda is necessary. Once you drop the dirty diaper down into the bag and close the lid the neck of the bag is squeezed shut so it’s fairly effective at keeping odors at bay, even when you open the lid to drop another diaper in.
I liked that this diaper pail was slimmer and sleeker than the pail we were currently using, this one takes up a little less space. I like that the lid doesn’t easily pop open when little fingers like to play with buttons, however as another reviewer has pointed out this can also be a hindrance when you’re trying to get rid of a dirty diaper with one hand, and hold onto a squirming baby with the other hand.
The pail came completely assembled and loaded with a bag, all I had to do was insert the little baking soda cartridge into the top which was super-easy, and replacing the bags is easy although I don’t like how easy it is to open the little door at the bottom to access the bag full of diapers. My daughter figured out the little door in no time and I’ve had to turn that side towards the wall so it’s not easily accessible to her. They really should have designed this with a much harder to use latch or something, since it’s not something that would need to be opened all the time, only when the bag needs to be changed.
Another feature that I like is that you can refill the little cartridge that holds the baking soda on your own, you don’t need to buy a new cartridge every time, so that helps save some money.
As others have mentioned - there is the ’squish’ factor when disposing of a dirty diaper - you really have to push a diaper down into the bag to get it to go in. I like this in that my daughter can’t easily drop stuff in there or access the stuff that’s already in there, but at the same time it can be messy and a bit time consuming when you can’t easily just drop a diaper into the pail.
Overall I like the design of the pail, I just think it has room for improvement. Hopefully they’ll update it with some new features soon and make it a little safer and more user friendly.

Customer Reviews:
size info. infant bucket hat
I had a question about size, as well. I purchased this hat for my 5 month old son hoping it would fit. The hat is large, but I am hoping once it is washed and dryed it will fit. It is 100% cotton, so I suspect it will shrink. The chin strap is quite a bit too long, however.
Infant Bucket Cap
The bucket hat is nice and soft. It has a jersey lining on the inside which makes it extra comfortable for a baby.
I just wish it was more size specific (instead of just “infant”).
Strap is too long
My 11 month old son doesn’t like to wear hats,and this one is easy for him to pull off because the chin strap is too long and there’s no way to adjust it. Other than that, it’s a nice hat.

LOVE IT!!!!!!
I absoutly love this crib teether! I had such a hard time finding something that would work for my crib. I didnt want the hard plastic cover- cuz they dont fit all cribs (I have a convertiable crib- fits and still have plenty extra material, so I am sure it would fit other cribs with wide rails), I was afraid the gummi cover would peel my finish off if it came loose, and I did not the one with velcro cuz I saw many reviews where their child found out how to take that off (which my son being 11 months and loves to figure that stuff out, would have for sure). I was so excited to find this style when I came across- I was worried cuz no one had reviewed it and thats why I am today for you- BUY IT AND LOVE IT!! Its perfect, machine washable, shoft, water- proof barrier so won’t hurt your crib, and best of all your child wont be able to take it off(unless you have some sort of genius who knows how to untie, I double knotted just to be safe  If he starts to try to go for the short rail I will be buying the smaller one to- PERFECT SOLUTION FOR TEETHING BABIES!!! Don’t waste your money on anything else! My only wish was that it came in cotton, not just fleece- otherwise would be perfect score!Trend Lab Front Rail Guard Collection
Had To Be Creative To Make It Fit…
I have a convertible crib that goes from being a crib to a toddler bed and then a twin bed with the headboard/footboard. The front of our crib has a solid panel and then the rails. The solid panel is pretty wide; unfortunately, the crib wrap did not fit. So I had to be a little crafty and creative.
There are two ties the same length at the ends and in the middle (like a chair cushion). I had to cut one of the ties and add it to the end of the other in order to lengthen the tie. Since I only have one long tie now I simply have to make sure there is a really good knot in there. In the end - it works! It serves the purpose and it doesn’t look half bad either
Fits great
We bought this to protect our Munire convertible baby crib from our daughter’s teething. It works as described. Although the furniture looks much better with it removed, this is the best looking thing we have found to protect it, and really the only thing we have found to fit our crib (with the exception of the stick on type).
