Do NOT buy this can if you intend to use it for cloth diapering. The top doesn't open far enough to drop the diapers in. It will only lift up a few inches, then I have to bend over and lift it up the rest of the way. Not good! Defeats the purpose of having a step/hands free pail. It is okay for now b/c my baby doesn't move, but once he starts wiggling around I can't take my hand and eyes off of him to be fooling with the can.With a thick wet bag in it, the top doesn't come off all that easy either. I could deal with this if the top opened properly.I will put it somewhere else and am ordering a new one.
