help with toy storage

loree · September 2009

a little girl in our area was seriously injured from a toy box. i believe the lid came down on her throat. i honestly don't know the whole story, but it scared me enough that i want to find another storage solution for our toys.

our toy room is our living room. any ideas for great storage? i'll probably end up at ikea, but just wondering if there are any other reasonable retail stores that sell storage solutions?

We went with Trofast from IKEA with the bins. I made DH drive 5 hours to Potomac Mills to get them.

Is this what happened to the little girl in Cranberry aq few weeks ago?

anyway, we have the trofast storage system from ikea. The plastic bins have lids on them.

what about a couple of nice laudry baskets like Peakay was saying? I saw some at Target the other day that were a nice rattan/dark wicker with lids that might look nice in a living room.

How scary! We use baskets and have one wood toy box that has a safety hinge on it that keeps the lid from moving at all without you physically moving it. Easy for kids to open and close but cannot move on its own so it stays shut or wide open depending on where you leave it. It also has a cut out safety mechanism that keeps the lid from being shut on little fingers as well.

I have heard great things about the Ikea storage systems.

We use baskets from Target they are just black and work great.

We use an expedit bookcase thing from Ikea, and next to it we have a canvas box with no lid that I got at Target.
