Product Description

Editorial Review

A warm wipe is one of those niceties that can make a baby feel extra cozy during diaper changes. This wipe warmer is small and fits neatly on the edge of a changing table, providing an even warm temperature to almost any size wipe. Below it hangs a net basket with room for up to 20 diapers along with side pockets to hold ointments, creams, powders, and any of the other necessities of a changing table. Brackets are included to attach the unit to a changing table, crib, or counter top. We liked the versatility of this unit as it saves space and allows storage of so many diapering essentials. --John Moe

3.0 out of 5 stars Limiting features but warms well, September 24, 2003

By

This review is from: Especially for Baby Wipe Warmer with bonus Diaper Organizer (Baby Product)

I bought two wipe warmers (one for upstairs & one for down): this one and Prince Lionheart. Both do their jobs fine, although I favor the Prince Lionheart because of its pop-up feature. The only reason I purchased the Especially for Baby (EFB) w/ Diaper Organizer was because I was trying to 'kill two birds with one stone'. I was planning to use the EFB wipe warmer downstairs in our play room and needed storage to go along with it. However I found that the accompanying diaper organizer is really only useful for holding my infant's diapers (approx. 25 or so size-2 diapers) because the side pockets are indeed too small and shallow for anything bigger than a small jar of vaseline. Also, I didn't realize how restricting it is that the EFB only fits Huggies-size wipes, not Pampers...so I buy Pampers pop-up wipes for my Prince Lionheart and Huggies for the EFB. No huge deal because I'm overall satified with how the EFB functions (i.e. warms the wipes), I was just disappointed about discovering the limiting features after I assembled the product. Another discouraging feature I found with the EFB is that the warmer itself too easily disconnects and often slides off the organizer base (dumping my wipes out all over). In fairness, I should mention that we have the organizer hanging on the side of our 'pack & play' (which apparently it wasn't designed for because it hangs lop-sided). The one feature I do appreciate on the EFB (that Prince Lionheart does Not have) is the on/off switch. So basically, this wipe warmer is comparable with other brands...my advice would be not to purchase it for the diaper organizer like I did (you can use a basket, diaper hanger, or some kind of shelf instead) and to know that it is not designed for the convenient pop-up wipes, like Pampers-brand. I rated this product three stars for the limiting features.

2.0 out of 5 stars plan on buying another, November 28, 2003

Like most other parents, I was happy at finding a warmer at a reasonable price, and this worked well for the first year but then it quit.

The organizer caddy was handy. It attaches to the side of your diaper table or crib with brackets that are included. Also included are some rubber "things" that help you adjust the brackets for a smaller widths; for instance, if you are attaching to a table instead of a crib. The front of the caddy is a zip-up net and inside you can fit about 15-20 diapers. There are two pockets on each side that I use to keep small bottles of lotion, diaper cream, etc. The warmer snaps onto the caddy so that it won't fall off the top easily.

It also has a tendency to "cook" the bottom wipes and turn them dark yellow to brown. It seems this is a problem with most warmers that warm from the bottom.

The wipes have a tendency to dry out, but I think that is the case with most warmers. I usually just add a bit of water every now and them to keep them from doing so (although this particular brand recommends against it, but my current one recommends TO DO it).

I was disappointed to find out that there was no warranty when it quit working. I spent the same amount of money on one at Wal-Mart and it has a 5 year warranty - long enough to at least get me through the diaper stage!

Specifics: It is plug-in and not battery operated. I think most units this size are plug-in. It fits all size wipes, but does not have the feature for pop up wipes. And it holds an entire refill size of wipes. It warms from the bottom, not the top. It is very easy to open and there is no lock for the lid. You cannot adjust the temperature. I think that is the same for most though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Buy, November 7, 2002

This review is from: Especially for Baby Wipe Warmer with bonus Diaper Organizer (Baby Product)

I found that this product has been very helpful. I am able to use the extra storage compartments for baby oil and diaper rash ointments in the 2 bottom side compartments and his brush and comb and anything else small in the 2 upper side compartments. It seems to fit diapers well also. I have a small problem with the bottom wipes drying out and turning yellow. However, after trying out different wipes (pampers wipes do not fit) I realized that Huggies Supreme wipes work the best. They don't dry out near as fast. Also, I still use the bottom wipes even if they are a little yellow. They don't hurt my sons skin. So I'm really not wasting any wipes and the wipes warm up quite well. Use the wipe the minute you take it out of the warmer though,otherwise the wipe will get cold quick. I think overall it's worth buying.
