This Baby Trend diaper disposal system is one of the few that don't require special liner bags to be used. You are able to use plastic grocery bags or ordinary kitchen trash liners for this diaper disposal system, so once you have the diaper pail, there isn't any more to spend. This makes the Baby Trend Diaper Champ 4000 good value for money and a popular choice.

There are numerous reviews written by parents who have used the Diaper Champ 4000, and a common comment is that, while it isn't suitable for cloth diapers or single wipes, it is a very effective disposal unit for disposable diapers. Sometimes bulky disposable diapers get stuck in the top, but this seems to be an irregular occurrence. Reviewers rate it a good method of controlling odors, because of the way the smells are kept inside the unit.

The Diaper Champ 4000 looks much like any conventional kitchen trash can with a slightly different type of lid. The lid features a special handle which is able to rotate 180 degrees to move a plunger inside a hole in the lid. To operate, you simply put a wet or soiled diaper into the hole, so that it is sitting on top of the plunger. When you rotate the handle the full 180 degrees the plunger moves on top and then pushes the diaper down into the liner bag in the unit.

Changing the liner bag and emptying the diaper pail is also simple; you pull the lever on the side of the diaper pail which releases the lid. You will then see another lid inside which you need to lift to get in to the bag and the used diapers. This simple two-part system helps to prevent pets and toddlers from getting in to the diapers and is also the mechanism that keeps the odors inside.

One of the best advantages of this Baby Trend diaper disposal system is its ease of use - it is easily operated with only one hand, leaving the other hand free to take care of the baby or balance her on your hip or shoulder. Another great feature is that the two part interior of the pail helps to keep the smells and bacteria inside, making it suitable for use in the nursery.

One major disadvantage with the Diaper Champ 4000 is that there is no way of knowing when the unit is full until you find that a used diaper won't go into the diaper pail. You also need to make sure that the sticky strips, that keep disposable diapers held together, are tucked in or they may catch on the lid's mechanism and cause it to jam or stick.

Reviewers of the Baby Trend Diaper Champ 4000 seem to agree it controls diaper smells very well if it not allowed to become too full. The longer used diapers are held in any diaper pail, the more the odors are likely to be experienced. The secret is to change the liner bag often and dispose of the older diapers.
