Moms with 2+- how to organize clothes?

How do you organize your kiddos clothes?  I got a ton of hand me downs, NB to 2T, and I'm trying to sort through them.  We have a standard sized closet and hopefully one day a 6 drawer dresser.  Any helpful hints would be great. 

I did buy four large fabric storage bins.  Any idea how to use those?  Will buy more if needed.  (https://tinyurl.com/3zakegg)

    I use tubs with the sizes written on the front for easy identification for long term storage.

    We use the Rubbermaid tubs that fit under the bed.  I label the front with the size range.

    We have these for dividing the clothes in the closet:

    I used under the bed storage for all of the outgrown clothes and all the hand me downs that he will grown into, sorted by size.  

    In his room, we have a small three drawer dresser.  The first drawer is used for lotions, thermometer, medicines, etc.  The second drawer is used for his cloth diaper storage.  The bottom is used  for pants.  All shirts and pjs are hung in his closet.  I didn't use dividers, just hung them in sections.  I used two cloth bins for the little "stuff".   One had socks and shoes and I think one had hats and little mitten things in it.   

    When he was really little and had more "outfits", I would sometimes hang those together in the closet, just to help my fashion challenged husband if he ever dressed him.

    We probably have 25 bins of little boy clothing in our basement, with stickers all over them so we know the sizes.  This is one reason I'm hoping for a girl this time....so i can get rid of the bins!!!!  Well, the stuff DS2 has outgrown!

    We also have big bins in the closet full of clothes he has grown out of and clothes he has yet to grow into.  His dresser is for clothes he fits into and then we hang his nicer clothes.

    I saw those closet organizer hangers on etsy.  My mom has been looking everywhere to find some and make them herself!

    Thanks ladies. Now we just need to get into our new house so I can set up everything!
