Baby Products Reviews of Baby Trend Diaper Champ in Blue
Customer Review: This item may cause death or injury
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this item for my two children about two years ago. Last night my 11 year old Alaskan Malamute suffocated to death while getting stuck in the opening. My dog, like many, had a penchant for dirty diapers, last night he knocked over the diaper champ, and knocked part of the top off. When he couldn't get to the diapers inside, he put his head into the opening (the top opening where the ball is), and got stuck. He eventually suffocated from the plastic bag. My husband and I replayed what happened with him, and discovered that a child could easily do the same thing going after a toy that fell in there, or just playing. If the child is monitored it would be easy to remove the bag, but the child would still have to have the ring removed (which took about an hour and half with a hack saw). If the product was 3/4" wider in diameter, my dog's head would not have been stuck. My dog's head is about the size of my 4 1/2 year olds head. I would not recommend this product at all, and I am attempting to contact the company WRT this accident.Customer Review: You really don't need it
Summary: 2 Stars
We had this with our first baby and it worked fine, but was very smelly after a while. I think we used it about 18 months and then it became unbearable.
You really don't need a diaper pail unless you are going to use cloth diapers. Just use the kitchen trash. You think that might smell, but since most people empty their kitchen trash frequently, there are not as many dirty diapers in there. Put solid poop in the toilet, otherwise you can just toss the diapers. Our daughter is 11 months old, eating solid food, and we've never had a problem. We do have a cheap pail for the cloth diapers, but we clean it thoroughly when we launder the diapers.
Customer Review: Pleased with this product.

I have been using the Diaper Champ for 4 months and really like it. The only problem I had was that the blue ring on top stuck making it hard to flip over. I just taped it down with regular clear tape and have not had a problem since. Other than opening the Diaper Champ to remove and replace the bags (ANY bags can be used), I never have dirty diaper smells escaping from it. Customer Review: Works, but doesn't contain odor
Summary: 2 Stars
After 18 months, our original Diaper Genie 2 had basically taken on the diaper smell and couldn't be cleaned anymore. With Baby #2 on the way, we decided to try Diaper Champ. Big mistake.
Mechanically, it worked soundly, so no problems there. However, with every turn of the drum a "puff" of foul, diaper stink floated up.
My decision to return it was made immediately upon opening the compartment to change the bag. The bag just sits down inside, but is wide open. The odor immediately filled the baby's room, and several adjacent ones. With eyes watering, I grabbed the bag, tied it off, then double-bagged. Fortunately, we could a few open windows and turn on a fan to disperse it.
I hope I can get my money back.
Customer Review: A disappointment

This broke before my son was even 4 months old. The blue ring/seal around the top stopped working, which made it impossible to put more diapers into it. I called baby trend, and they emailed me instructions to fix it, but they didn't work. I have a friend with the exact same issue. Save your money and buy something else.
