Ubbi Australia - Steel Odour-Sealing Nappy Bins and Baby Accessories
Ubbi is an American baby accessories brand focused on premium nappy disposal solutions. The Ubbi nappy bin is designed from powder-coated steel rather than plastic, which gives it a modern, contemporary look and provides better odour containment than plastic alternatives. Ubbi nappy bins are designed to work with standard rubbish bags rather than proprietary refill cassettes, which reduces ongoing cost compared to cassette-based nappy bins. Peekaboo Baby is an authorised Australian retailer for Ubbi, stocking Ubbi nappy bins in multiple colourways and the Ubbi Wipes Warmer and accessories. Free shipping applies to orders over $129.
The Ubbi nappy bin range is positioned at the premium end of nappy disposal in Australia, priced at approximately $129-$149. All Ubbi nappy bins are designed to seal odours using a steel body with a sliding lid mechanism and rubber seals.

Ubbi nappy bin range
The Ubbi Baby Nappy Bin is available in White ($149), Grey ($149), Sage ($149), Matte Black ($149) and Taupe ($149). All colours share the same powder-coated steel construction and sliding lid mechanism. The steel body seals odours more effectively than plastic because steel is a non-porous material that does not absorb smell over time. The sliding lid mechanism requires an adult-strength push to open, which provides a child-safety function. The bin is designed to use standard rubbish bags in sizes 8-12 litres, which fits most Australian supermarket bag sizes. The Ubbi Wipes Warmer ($129) heats wipes to body temperature for a more comfortable nappy change experience, particularly in colder months.
Ubbi accessories
Ubbi produces a limited range of accessories alongside the nappy bin. The Ubbi Drain Cover ($15) is a small silicone bath drain cover designed for babies. The Ubbi On The Go Baby Gift Set ($50) is a portable travel accessory set. All Ubbi accessories are stocked at Peekaboo Baby and can be browsed in the nappy changing category.
Why use a nappy bin?
A dedicated nappy bin reduces odour and germ exposure compared to placing used nappies directly in a household rubbish bin. Nappy bins are designed with sealed lids and odour-containment mechanisms to keep the nursery and changing area fresh between rubbish bin days. The Ubbi steel nappy bin is designed for placement in a nursery where it is visible and needs to complement the room's decor. The Sage, White and Taupe colourways are designed to fit contemporary neutral nursery palettes.
What to look for in the Ubbi nappy bin
Steel construction - Ubbi nappy bins are made from powder-coated steel. Steel is a non-porous material that does not absorb odour over time, unlike plastic bins which can retain smell after extended use. The powder coat is applied inside and outside and is designed to be wipe-clean.
Universal bag compatibility - Ubbi nappy bins are designed to use standard rubbish bags in 8-12 litre sizes. This eliminates the ongoing cost of proprietary refill cassettes used by some competing nappy bins (such as Sangenic). Standard supermarket rubbish bags fit the Ubbi and cost significantly less than cassette refills.
Sliding lid mechanism - The Ubbi lid slides open horizontally rather than flipping up. This design keeps the interior sealed as you open the lid to one side, drop the nappy, and close again, minimising the time the bin interior is exposed to the room.
Adult-push lid resistance - The Ubbi lid requires a deliberate adult-strength push to open. This is a passive child-safety feature that reduces the likelihood of toddlers opening the bin.
Neutral colourways - Ubbi nappy bins are available in White, Grey, Sage, Matte Black and Taupe. The range is designed to complement contemporary nursery colour palettes and look appropriate as a visible nursery item rather than being hidden.
Rubber seals - The Ubbi bin includes rubber seals in the lid mechanism and body that contribute to odour containment. The seals are designed to maintain their effectiveness over the life of the product without replacement.

Ubbi - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The Ubbi nappy bin is designed to use standard rubbish bags in 8-12 litre sizes, which fits most Australian supermarket bag options. This is a significant practical advantage over competing nappy bins that require proprietary refill cassettes. Using standard bags substantially reduces the ongoing cost of nappy disposal compared to cassette-based systems where each cassette covers approximately 30-40 nappy changes and costs $10-$20 to replace.
Steel is a non-porous material, meaning it does not absorb odours over time the way plastic can. Plastic nappy bins frequently develop a persistent smell after months of use because the plastic material absorbs odour molecules at a microscopic level. Steel does not have this property, which means a Ubbi nappy bin maintains its odour-containment effectiveness longer than plastic alternatives. The powder-coated steel body is also wipe-clean and resistant to scratches and dents under normal nursery use.
The Ubbi nappy bin uses three mechanisms to contain odour. The steel body prevents odour absorption into the bin material. The sliding lid mechanism keeps the bin sealed except when opening and closing, which minimises air exchange. Rubber seals within the lid and body create a sealed barrier when the lid is closed. Together these mechanisms are designed to keep nappy odour contained within the bin between rubbish bag changes. The Ubbi is not 100% odour-proof - all nappy bins allow some odour when opened - but the steel and sealed design perform better than unsealed plastic bins.
The Ubbi Baby Wipes Warmer is an electronic unit designed to warm baby wipes to approximately body temperature before use. Cold wipes can cause discomfort during nappy changes, particularly in cooler months or in nurseries without heating. The wipes warmer holds a stack of standard baby wipes and warms them to a preset temperature. It plugs into a standard Australian power socket. The Ubbi Wipes Warmer is priced at approximately $129 at Peekaboo Baby and is designed to complement the Ubbi nappy bin on a changing table.
The Ubbi nappy bin interior and exterior can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and a mild household cleaner. The powder-coated steel exterior resists most surface marks and can be wiped with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, remove the rubbish bag and wipe the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry with a clean cloth before adding a new bag. The rubber seals can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Ubbi does not recommend spraying liquid directly into the lid mechanism.
