Diaper Genie II debuts amid little fanfare



A sharp eyed reader spotted the new Diaper Genie II diaper pail on Target's web site. There is little info on the new model, except for a sketch (see right) and price ($30). The new model isn't even on Playtex's web site yet.

Playtex has largely bungled the Diaper Genie, which it bought 5 years ago from its inventor (Mondial). During that time, the Diaper Genie didn't change at all---while new competitors from the Diaper Decor, Dorel and Baby Trend helped steal away market share. While the Diaper Genie was innovative when it first debuted in the 90's, its design hasn't aged well over the years. Parents seem to prefer the non-refill options like Baby Trend.
