Overview
Not a manual pedal pail, this Munchkin UV opens with a motion sensor. It is a white plastic rectangular body with rounded corners for nursery use. The listing leaves out how the UV feature works.
Hands-free opening is the reason to look at it, since a parent often holds a baby during a change. The listed capacity is small. UV, bag type and power source are not described.
Who it's for
A caregiver who changes diapers with one hand will use the sensor opening. Parents who want a big capacity, or a clearly explained odor feature, should look for a fuller listing.
Pros and cons
- White plastic body
- UV function not explained
- Capacity is small
- Power source unknown
- Bag type unknown
Performance notes
A sensor opens the lid when a hand moves near, which avoids touching the pail. Odor control depends on the lid seal and the bag, which the listing does not describe. The capacity decides how often you empty it.
