Why we picked it

The diaper pail that doesn't hold your wallet hostage: powder-coated steel doesn't absorb odors the way plastic does, and it works with ordinary tall kitchen bags instead of pricey proprietary refills. A registry staple that looks like nursery furniture, not hospital equipment.

Highlights

• Steel body doesn't absorb odors like plastic
• Works with standard tall kitchen bags — no special refills
• Sliding lid with childproof lock
• Nursery-friendly colors that grow out of the baby stage
