I think this product would be great for if your going on holiday sometimes you don't have ready access to the bins so having one of these would mean you would have your own little one. The only flaw I think is because they are on the small side they won't hold many nappies as kids get bigger. - Strengths:

Received this via here to product test and im very impressed with them. I have never used a nappy bin before as i just didn't think it was necessary but they make life a lot easier. Dont have to worry about nappy bags and finding them every time i do a bum change. It seals very well and does well at keeping the odours inside. Its easy to assemble just pull it slowly to fill it with air. Only down side is the lip part instead of a plastic flip or clip lid its a sort of label sticker and can get stuck to hands and nappy while putting them in. Overall im very happy with this product! - Strengths:

I was sent 2 of these munchkin bag it's to review so here goes
I think these are absolutely fab for family's who travel a lot. I found that they where small enough to pack and very easy to use! They trap all the nasty odours very well and I was very impressed with them. Simple to use as you easily dispose of nappy inside the bin and the lid locks down so keeps everything well trapped. The only downfall I could find was that when I put the nappies inside I found it very sharp and kept catching my hands. Other than that's I didn't find any faults at all. So with a little change could be even better. I took one on holiday with me and I found it very handy as I could store it in the bathroom and use instead of putting nappies inside the only 1 bin we had in the chalet. It was simple as when we left we just disposed of the nappy bin.
I also used one in my sons nursery. It was easy to fit in the corner and before his bath could just pop his nappies in untill it was full.
All in all this product was fab! I highly recommended to family's who travel a lot aswell. - Strengths:

This is a great disposable bin for if you are away for a short time. It’s light, compact and easy to use.
There are a few things I would possible add, ie something to be able to hang it up by as it can fall over easily. Maybe a tight push through to stop the smell coming out when you open the top.
All in all we found this brilliant when we were on holiday and I loved the fact that when we left you just threw the whole thing in the bin. - Strengths:

I wouldn’t pay £13.99 for one of these bins as when re-opening it the smell isn’t very nice. It doesn’t take many nappies maybe 20 at the most I would say, it only lasted us two days. It does need two hands to bin the nappy as I kept getting mine scratched as the opening is a little sharp. A positive aspect thought would be it’s slim built so doesn’t take much space up. Easy to carry. - Strengths:

I received this product free as part of a product trial and I don't think I would buy it. The concept is great and it is handy to have when travelling so you don't have to struggle with tiny nappy bags but it could be much easier to use. First of all, it didn't open easily and I had to pull it quite a few times before it could stand by itself. Then, I found that placing a nappy inside was quite fiddly and it required two hands and a bit of pressure (not ideal with very dirty nappies). All in all, I wasn't very impressed. - Strengths:

I received two of these to test, I was excited before recieving them as I thought they would be great for our trips away but unfortunately I feel so disappointed with this product. They open up easily and stand up on their own but the lid is very fiddly to keep back whilst needing both hands to pretty much ram the nappy in as it really isn't easy to get through there. It seemed a little inconvenient but not too much of a major problem. For the first few nappies it was great at keeping odours inside, but by the next day when the lid was opened to push another nappy in the smell that was released was incredibly fowl and the smell then lingered for ages afterwards. I found the smell that unpleasant that after trying to use it for another nappy I had to throw it in the bin, it had maybe 6-7 size 3 nappies in it, I can't imagine how bad it would of smelt if I'd of kept using it for longer. Overall, great concept but it needs adapting in some way to completely trap in odours. - Strengths:

Got the Munchkin Bag it as a tester. Good idea and v good for travelling though not single use hence the smell when you reuse it. It's great when it's closed and it's meant to hold 30 odd full nappies - this would take at least 4 -5 days to fill it up (my little girl is 2 months old now and doesn't use the same amount of nappies as when she was a newborn) - the smell is horrendous those 10 seconds where you open the bin to shove the dirty nappy in to close it again. Maybe some work on this Munchkin?

Tried this product out recently and if I'm honest I wouldn't go out and buy this, I feel as though it's a big waste of plastic as it's only single use. I like the features as it's compact and easy to pop up. It keeps the smell in and only releases a small odour when opened of smelly nappies are inside. I found it difficult to pop nappies in without using two hands. This product would be really good for long car journeys or camping, my issue would be that even when travelling there are various baby changing areas that provide bins unless on a more scenic/rural route. The bag itself has quite sharp edges which isn't easy to avoid when popping in the nappies. Overall a good item but I wouldn't be purchasing it for the reasons stated above. - Strengths:

This product was really good for short term storage for a number of reasons. The product I felt was minimal in size so easy to tuck away, it held a decent quantity of nappies ready for disposal. I liked the fact that once the nappies were placed into the BagIt you did not need to touch them again and found that when in the product there were no odours at all from it so they were locked in well. I would definitely use this product for day trips out/stay overs it would be perfect for these circumstances. The only negative I find with the product is that you are basically buying plastic to use for potentially a very short time and then dispose of it. I found the price to be acceptable but would add up very quickly if it was used on a regular basis. - Strengths:

I was sent this product by Consobaby to test and review.
I would say this isn't the sort of product you would use on a regular basis, rather this is for going on holiday or for out and about. It removes the need for nappy bags. This does an excellent job of locking in the smell and can comfortably hold around 25 newborn nappies, 30 at a push! It's easy to store and pulls apart quite easily to be used.

The concept is good and the bin does hold the odour in when it’s closed. I found it tricky to use if I had anything else in my hands. For me I like the concept but feel like it’s just additional waste for landfill I prefer to just put the nappy into the first available bin. - Strengths:

We used this when staying with relatives so that we didn't make their house stink. It did the job! But the bag is flimsy and doesn't really stand up very well but it does a good job of keeping the nappies contained so they can be binned at the same time. Its a shame its not made of biodegradable material though, it just seems like even more plastic waste in addition to the plastic nappies. - Strengths:

I did not like this product at all it was hard to use the opening had sharp bits you need 2 hands to use it .. I couldn't use it at all it just seems like a silly idea ... Usually if my baby has a dirty nappy I put it in a biodegradable bag and this it in the nearest bin ... Don't understand how it would keep the odour in as the top is basically open and if by any chance the baby put it's hand or arm in it it would hurt them ... I also don't be That it's plastic not environmentally friendly and to be throwing away £13.99 worth of money everytime you dispose of them . So it's not for me. - Strengths:

Travel nappy bin. Perfect to use on those day trips out where you don’t have access to a bin. We went to the zoo with the family and took this with us. It held all the nappies from that day with ease as well as maintaining no smell in the car on the way home. It was easy to dispose of too and was great on the day! Really impressed and would definitely recommend. - Strengths:

I was kindly sent this product via ConsoBaby to review.
On the outset, this is a great product with masses of potential. We used this whilst travelling in the car/between houses over Christmas. But feel it could be handy to take on holiday (especially if camping!)
Unfortunately though I just couldn't get past the fact that this product is not (to my knowledge) produced using any sustainable plastic and it's a single use plastic product. In this day and age we should be doing everything we can with plastic use. For this product to not have been produced sustainably in the very least is so disappointing. I understand the brands claims of 'it uses less plastic' as its not got an outer container, but any throw away plastic like this seems unnecessary.
I was hoping the design and experience with the product would out-weight my concerns, but the experience just wasn't great I'm sad to say.
We used this product over Christmas whilst travelling to see family. We opened it up and had it in the boot of the car, just incase we needed to do a nappy change mid-journey. The design is folded flat upon arrival and its quite neat and sleek - it wouldn't look gaudy in any room. The product was quite convenient for this trip as our family live in an apartment and going up and down 4 flights of stairs each time there is a soiled nappy just isn't feasible. We found that while the design is ok and doesn't take up a lot of space (whilst looking very tidy and inconspicuous in any room) it was still a hassle to use. You can't use this one-handed as its too flimsy. We found the lid wasn't sticky/thick enough and the interior is sharp when dropping the nappies inside - so don't push your hand in too far! Though, I must say it serves purpose from a hygiene point of view and it did a good enough job of hold in odours.
We found this held around 20 nappies from our 5 month old.
I REALLY want to love this product - it is a great idea in theory! But there are just too many con's for us I'm afraid.
If this item was made using recycled plastics/sustainable plastics we'd be happier - even happier still if it was more than single use (or even biodegradable). Maybe if you could somehow have a liner like in more permanent nappy bins, this would help with longevity of use too.
Thank you for selecting me to give an honest review.

I had two to test, it stopped any smells from wet or dirty nappies! Which is a huge bonus I wasn’t having to make multiple trips outside to the bin! The edges are very sharp and you do need two hands to put a nappy in, which is a bit of an inconvenience when most of the time I have a child in one arm! - Strengths:

I got 2 to try out. I think it's a clever idea but need to improve a bit.
It stops odour until lid is closed. Also you need both hands to open, hold and put nappy in.
Perfect for longer car trips and not too expensive. I'll definitely buy some when we're going abroad. - Strengths:

We used this product out and about as well as in our home. It’s super compact and easy to store until you need to use. It quickly ‘inflates’ and kicks in smell very well. Portable which is great for the car (even has a little tag so can be hung if needed. Good quality product. The downside is as baby grows (say 8m+) the nappies become bigger and the bin holds less. I would say more like 30ish nappies. Having said that, as it’s main use if for out and about and in the car this isn’t a major issue. It’s a great alternative to nappy sacks which realistically you still need to find a place to dispose of them quickly. Overall a useful and convenient product which is great for on the go use. - Strengths:
