Do any of the reviewers have a 1+ yr old baby using this with rave reviews? Also, do you have to manually tie each bag? Thx!

I use the diaper one N done for my 3 yr. old son and 7 mo. daughter. I used to use the diaper genie but it was too big and still gave off a smell. I live in a townhouse and space is limited. I bought 2 diaper one n dones. One is in the half bath one the main floor and one in the kid's room upstairs. I love it. There is no smell and the tub is small. You do have to manually tie the bag each time like the produce bags at the grocery store but it's not a big deal. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. I buy 200 refill bags at a time. Again, I love, love, love it!

My son is 8 mo but in size 12-18. I really like the product asi can easily put dirty diapers and wipes in the pail and after cleaning the baby and getting him back down on the floor to play I tie off the bag and put it in the diaper pail. It really illiminates the smell. The bags r a good size and I have not had any problems putting 2 diapers in 1 bag.

There are three velcro straps that attach the bag to the rack. Two go under the rack and through a flat loop on the other side. They then loop back and attach to themselves with velcro. The third is the same setup, but attaches to the front of the rack. Honestly, I haven't quite figured out the best way to attach the front strap, but I think I've got a slightly nonstandard rack.

I have had no problems rolling it up. It might be challenging for someone with arthritis in their hands. Basically, you lay it out flat in the closed position, and then fold it in half in the long direction. You then roll it up tightly at this half-width, starting from the foot, keeping the bag folded and square as you go. At the top there is a built-in strap arrangement, using black cord, to hold the bag in its rolled-up position. It consists of a loop of cord on one side, fastened at each corner of the half-width of the bag, and a single cord with a plastic hook on it at the other side, centered on the half-width. The idea is to pull the middle of the loop around in one direction around the outside of the rolled-up bag, and then engage the hook in it from the other side. This creates a Y-shaped fastening that keeps the bag rolled up. It took me a few tries to figure out how this was supposed to work when I first got the bag, but it's not too hard to figure out. Pay attention to how it is rolled up when it arrives. The important thing is to roll the bag tightly and keep it square (even), rather than letting the bag edges slop out and roll up unevenly. keeping it tight makes it easier to fasten the cord. I know other people have complained about this arrangement in other reviews, but I don't have a problem with it. Alternatively a couple of short bungee cords would serve the same purpose of keeping the bag closed. I like the convenience of having the straps built in.

There are little plastic tabs on the outside edge of the top support bar (if you put it together correctly). Just make sure the top of the bag and the string are hooked into those, then gently tighten the drawstring to hold it in place. In my experience the middle bag is the *most* secure attachment.

The interior has held well, but the loops where the straps are connected to the bag are falling apart - my baby is 6 months, and it's my first baby, so literally only 6 months of use. Although I am a working mom so I use it a lot....I still fee like 6 months is a little early for the straps to start to fall apart.

Dear Kedrigern, I have purchased a couple thousand of these bags, another 1000 this week! I have had only 3 with tiny wholes. Very good light weight bags. There are no intentional wholes. I hope this helps, Ed

Since you own them you would know --- Are you able to put a diaper bag over the bag of the handles without it tipping over when your child gets out? I have a McClaran (SP?) stroller that does this & it drives me nuts!

yes; the only problem with the system is that you need to use ties to keep them from coming off when you take the bag off; not a big deal; easy to add extras; just worry about the space needed. rpe

We did the same thing, but I can't remember for sure. I think my husband knocked it apart with his hand and then redid it. Also you will find it helpful to put something heavy in the bottom of it before you put the bag in. This will help as an aid when you go to remove the bag.

Yes, that is what my wife uses and has for a good number of years. Roll the diaper up and put it in the bag and tie the handles on the bag. They are very good for this purpose.

Typically I tend to wash a load with several bags at once so there aren't other loose clothes, but the drawstrings do sometimes tangle around the other bags, especially if they aren't very full. I still prefer these to the zippers as my zippered bags have snagged clothes when I'm placing items in or removing them from the bag. The drawstrings on these bags is also a soft nylon type material rather a cotton rope, so I think for any catching or tangling it might be gentler.

I put a burp cloth down under my son so it would be soft and cover the strap. It is not recommended to put your baby in it without using straps. I will also for safety reasons not say to use it without straps. I did however use it with my son and he was swaddled and not strapped. I never left him in it and he was so little he was not rolling around or reaching. Hope this is helpful! Oh p.s. The vibrate feature was a huge lifesaver. This really was one of the few things I took with us everywhere.

I think you could use a heat sealer to seal the bags. I bought a couple when I purchased the bags but haven't used them yet. It just seems a lot easier and funner to tie them. Also the contents in the bag expand a lot after they are frozen so I would only fill them a little over half full and leave some room at the top for expansion.

I use 30gal tie bags with Bag Buddy. Love this product. tip...Stand on one side of frame when loading and unloading bag. Pull other side into you toload or unload bag. Drop bag, pull tie, and remove bag. I use a little red toy wagon to move leaf bags from one place to another.

It does require bags which are the best part because the have diaper like inserts in the bottom of the bags so no splashy mess when removing the bag . I bought them here on Amazon for a decent price as well.

That has not happened to my stroller, but if it did I would use upholstery thread and string the ends together to hand tie the netting - almost like darning a sock until you can cinch it all together. Does that make sense? I've used that technique before with excellence results. Good luck :)

For me I had two in diapers, then the toddler just potty trained. Since there are four interior pockets, I didn't lose things in the bag since I put the smaller items in the smaller pockets. Its not that deep and it opens up wide enough to access everything so that is not a problem for us.
