I am a mother of a 16 month old w/ one on the way. A diaper genie is a waste of money. It still stinks up your nursery and the refills are very expensive and the bags rip easily. It is no fun taking the dirty diapers to the garbage when the bag rips and dirty diapers fall all over the floor! Not to mention when the the baby is walking and into everything, they will attempt to open the nasty diaper receptacle. I would recommend purchasing a garbage can that has a foot peddle and locks so that it is toddler and animal proof. You can then purchase Hefty febreeze bags which eliminate most of the diaper stink to put inside. This will save you hundreds of dollars…those refill bags are not cheap and if you have more than one child you will go through them very quickly!

Baby monitors are needed too, ours still runs at nap time and bedtime.
