Why buy this wipes warmer?

The main selling point of the Prince Lionheart Ultimate Wipes Warmer is the Ever-Fresh pillow. This removable, washable pad sits at the bottom of the wipes warmer, providing a protective barrier between the heat source and your baby wipes. As long as the Ever-Fresh pillow stays moist, your diaper wipes will not dry out and brown.

The Ultimate wipes warmer works with all types of diaper wipes. The small upper lid dispenses pop-up baby wipes, while the large lower lid can dispense standard disposable wipes or cloth wipes.

How does it work?

The Ultimate Wipes Warmer keeps diaper wipes comfortable and warm using a safe, low-voltage heating system, so you won’t have to worry about scalding your baby. But once the wipes are removed from the chamber, they will cool quickly, so make sure you use them right when you need them.

The first time you turn the wipes warmer on, you’ll need to wait at least three hours before your wipes are at the right temperature. A green light on the front of the Ultimate Wipes Warmer acts as both a power indicator and a nightlight. The AC adapter fits in any standard 110-120v outlet.

Common complaints

Prince Lionheart claims that the tub can hold all standard refill wipes packs, but most parents have found that the tub can’t hold an entire pack. This won’t be a problem if you normally buy resealable wipes packages. If your wipes aren’t resealable, just keep a spare plastic wipes tub on hand to store the extras.

The Ultimate warmer comes with cushioned pads on the bottom to protect your furniture, but you may want to place it on top of a small towel just to be safe. The larger bottom lid is designed to funnel condensation back into the wipes chamber when opened, but the occasionally, dripping does happen. Combined with the heat from the bottom of the warmer, the warm standing liquid could damage your furniture.

Some parents have had trouble keeping the large bottom lid shut, especially when pulling wipes from the smaller pop-up lid. The pop-up lid has a latch to keep it shut, but the bottom one does not. If you only use the pop-up lid and are having this problem, you can use a small piece of tape to hold the bottom lid shut. Make sure you don’t overstuff the wipes chamber.
