This is the BEST wipe warmer:
http://tinyurl.com/hjpsq
I had to order it through Babies R' Us.com, because I could not find it in-store here.
I went through other wipe warmers. The one that you have to reach in and get the wipe (not pop up), browned and dried out my wipes. Also having to reach in for every wipe would leave germs from my hand inside the warmer. Breeding ground for bacteria! I hated that thing and yard saled it.
I bought the Prince Lionheart. It has a special 'pad' (which you have to replace occasionally and are expensive). It does have the pop-up dispensing, which is more snaitary. But the lid closes with a loud SNAP (well, seems loud in the middle of the night when you are changing). It also browned the wipes on the bottom where the heating element was.
This DEX wipe warmer is awesome! I love it. It has a 'night light' feature (stays on for 10 min, and automatically shuts off). Has the pop-up wipe feature. Has a clear front window so you can see when you are low on wipes. AND...it heats from the TOP down. So NO browing bottom of wipes!! And the ones that you dispense first are the warmest.
Some people say wipe warmers are a waste of money. Others never incorporate them into their lifestyle. But every parent is different. And some...like me....prefer to give our little babies this one added luxury. Everyone has their own preference.
Good luck!

none, better to just use them at room temp. The warmers are known for overheating the wipes and drying them out. You can't put a whole pack in the warmer or you will be wasting half a pack. Save your money, the baby doesn't care about the temp of the wipes.

I didn't buy a wipe warmer because I thought the idea was a little silly actually, but I received a Prince Lionhart as a gift, so I figured we would use it and my daughter loves having warm wipes! I think it works great, yes, the very last wipe usually is a little brown tinted, but as long as you keep water on the pad in the bottom, they wipes stay moist, warm, and best of all, baby is happy!

Unfortunately, I did not ever find one that was any good. This time around, I never bought one and it worked out fine. The wipes warmers that I tried all left the wipes kind of brown and dried out and one of them made the wipes too hot for the baby's skin.

i have one by prince lionheart it cost 24.99
i loved it for the first three months or so. my daughter is now 5 months old and i don't think it really matters to her. in the beginning she would cry while i changed her diaper with wipes not in the warmer and didn't mind getting her diaper changed when i used the warmer so for the first couple of months I'm glad i had one

There is not one. The wiper warmer just dries out the stack of wipes. I just keep it in the actual container it came in and my child has no problem with the coolness of it.

put it in the microwave for about 10 seconds it stays wet and gets warm and you save yourself a lot of money instead of buying one of those gadgets that will just sit there and u will never use.also in the winter you can put the container over the heater vent that works great too and too the person with the granny it does matter if it is warm or cold do you want something ice cold wiping you rear?

I have the Prince Lionheart one. Diaper change, especially in the middle of the night was torture until we got it. Now my daughter is 5 months old and we still use it. If I could have my toilet paper warmed for me, I would, so why not warm my daughter's wipes? It's a cheap little luxury that we can give our baby.

wipe warmers sound so nice and soothing...but.....our parents never used them with us and i hope all are bums are fine but thecons are that they dry out the wipes also doctors are now saying that they are a breeding ground for bacteria but if you still want one try babies r us and read the customer reviews.

trust me, all the cute little gadgets that they have seem necessary, especially with a first child, but they are not. after about a month they end up in the corner collecting dust and the next thing you know it's in your next garage sale. save your money. babies don't really care about the temp of their wipes.
