What are you using for diaper/wipe storage for changing area?

Mattel · January 2012

For those of you using a dresser rather than a changing table, are you using something to keep all of your supplies handy? I thought about using the top dresser drawer, but I think I'd rather have some sort of tabletop storage that is functional and cute. Should I just get a small basket? I registered and received this:

Munchkin Diaper Changer Organizer (Blue)

Only after I received this gift I read the HORRIBLE reviews online. Unfortunately I agree, the thing doesn't hold up well and is enormous - way bigger than I planned so now I think I'm going to exchange it for something more practical.

We have a changing table with shelves and are using canvas storage bins on those shelves for baby items.

I got some cute baskets from IKEA for DD's room- diapers on one side, lotion/diaper rash cream/cloths/wipes on the other. It worked out perfect and looks really organized and nice

I am installing a shelf over the dresser where I will have baskets (the decorative bin type things you see at Target etc.) that will house diapers, wipes, etc. I will also have a bin for bath supplies.

Im using a built in desk that happens to be in the room, but we are storing in baskets. Even if we were using the dresser (which I considered), I was going to have baskets on a shelf nearby.

These are $4 each from Ikea...

My husband installed some cheap wire shelves right next to the changing table, and that has worked really well to keep all of the wipes/lotion, etc. We have a diaper stacker that came with the bedding set, and we have that hanging from the bottom shelf.

I bought the exact item you showed. Yeah its very flimsy. But it was cheap so I didn't expect perfection. It will work for the time being. I got a dresser/changing table combo so I dont have any other surface to put stuff on. If it really ends up not working I will just store the stuff in baskets in the open space underneath the dresser and use that.

I have a changing table with two shelves, a diaper stacker and lined wicker baskets for storage.

I've been using the Prince Lionheart Diaper Depot of over 2 years now. I have no complaints.

I bought a $9 basket at Target and filled it with diapers, wipes, A&D, etc.

We have a changing table but it doesnt have a space for diapers etc. I have a cute little side table and bought a lined basket from RH to put the diaper gear in. All the replenishing supplies are in the top drawer of table

This, except we have white wicker baskets instead of canvas storage bins.

We received this as a gift to hang on the side of our changing table. We'll see how useful it is. Seems a little too fragile to me Confused

We are using a dresser. There's just enough space next to the changing pad for a small basket. So I have a pink basket that I've filled with creams, baby powder, a small # of diapers and wipes. My issue is that the large wipes container doesn't fit in the basket, and it looks messy to be out of the basket. So I have one of those slim wipes holders. I figure I'll just replenish the basket with wipes and diapers as I get low. Otherwise, the dresser has three drawers and a large vertical cabinet. I can always store a larger basket down there.

I have this. Never had a problem with it while using it for DD. It even fit our cloth prefolds. I put the non scratchy side of some adhesive velcro to the bottom inside to keep it from scratching the dresser.

Our nursery bedding set came with a diaper stacker, so we'll be hanging that off the side of the dresser. As to the rest, we're utilizing the top drawer for the wipes, diaper cream, etc. It's a rather LARGE dresser, so there are plenty of drawers to spare.

When he gets older, though. . .that's a different story. Might have to rearrange our configuration when we get him more clothes and things.

I'm not sure how long our dresser is but if it allows I will have a basket next to the changing pad. If that doesn't work, I will try and find something similar to this. I would never pay that much for a shelf but it is cute..

I'm still a little leary of keeping anything above LO head though, I'm pretty clumsy...

We're getting one of these for the top of the dresser, all extras will be stored in the cupboard part of the dresser.

This is super cute! Where did you find it? Can you tell me what brand it is?

It's the Sara Bear Diaper Caddy, it comes in several different colors, and I know it's carried by BRU and Target, you may be able to find it other places as well.
