What Do You Use To Hold Diapers???

[Crazy8]

If you have a changing area in your daycare - what do you use to keep diapers, wipes, cream, etc. - the things you'd need near you during a change??

I am still not happy with the layout of my playroom (posted pics of it here a few weeks ago) and thinking of how to lose the cabinet I'm using for diapers, etc. Maybe something that can go on the wall but not be an eyesore?? I often have as many as 4 kids in diapers at a time so it has to be able to hold a bit but I can keep the extras in my hall closet.

Hanging baskets come in handy.

They meet my regs.

1. Out of reach of children.
2. Not touching the diaper changing surace.

I have a shelving unit that hold the fabric storage squares. Works great!

I use clear plastic containers from ikea on the shelf below the changing table. Allows me to see quickly if I'm running soon out too.

As soon as I find new batteries for my camera (today, I hope...) I'll post pictures of my changing area. I have a hanging pocket thing from Ikea on the wall that holds diapers (and cream, etc, if I would need it but no one I have right now uses it) and then for extra diapers, clothes, etc, I use plastic shoeboxes below.

I'd love to see it! I always hear of the great things people find in Ikea. Our closest one is an hour away, I've only been there once.

Catherder... what type of hanging baskets??

do you have one on the wall or on the floor?? I have a ton of those units in my playroom and love them. Thought of doing a 4 square thing of them on the wall but afraid they will stick out too far and I'll bump a kid in the head getting on/off the changing table. I think I need something not as deep as those if I'm putting them on the wall.

an idea I'm toying with.... wall is only 30" long so thinking maybe a 24" shelf with wicker baskets above the changing table. Not sure if that would be big enough though for 4-5 baskets.

Here is the area (just bought that tall skinny cabinet thing - but hate the way it looks!!):


so, one long shelf above table on that short wall... yes or no good???

My husband built a changing table over the tub in the kids bathroom. The sink vanity is quite long. I bought two cd shelves. They are narrow in depth. They stand on either side of the sink and each child had their own labeled shelf with diapers.

I do cloth diapers and store in my laundry area but keep all the diapers for going home here....



Just a cheap shoe organizer in the back of the door. When the door is open you don't even know it's there. I love it and my licensing rep. thought it was great.

I sent you a friend request so you can see for yourself.

Can your black shelf be mounted to the wall horizontally? You could center the diaper changer under it and have room diaper pail there as well.

I provide diapers for the monkeys in my care so even though I have 8 under 3 I only 3 sizes of diapers out at time and use a normal changing table to store them on one shelf with their clothes in shoe box containers on the bottom shelf.

We use something like this only it opens at the end:

I think it may have 4 drawers though. Needless to say we take older children and don't have a lot in diapers so it works for us. Each child's supplies fit in their own drawer.

LOVE the over the door shoe rack holding diapers and supplies. They would be good for craft things too - you got me thinking!

I use a letter sorter hung on the wall. It has three bins and I can use each bin for two children if needed. The bins hold 5-6 diapers in two rows perfectly. I refill from their supplies that are kept in cabinets in the entrance area as needed.

You can't see it in this pic, but I keep my wipes on the wall in one of the Cottonelle Flushable wipes containers that comes with a hanger. I have to trim the wipes a smidge to fit, but it is worth it to me for the convenience.

My changing table has dresser style drawers underneath that I put the diapers in.

I do want to also get a shelving unit of some sort for above the changing table too, but am unsure where to get one that will suit my needs and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
