Which one should you buy?

The Munchkin Step Pail is our top pick: a hands free pedal so both hands stay on the baby, plus the flexibility to use either refill rings or snap and toss bags and chase whichever is cheaper. The Ubbi Steel Nappy Bin is the one to choose for a powder coated steel body that takes any standard bin liner, so you never pay for branded refills. For the budget pick, the Angelcare Classic XL sits around $30 and its tall, back friendly body holds a week of nappies between trips to the wheelie bin.
