Super cheap, but good quality. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2890057 Thu, 04 Jul 2019 21:24:23 +0000 ALV91711 2890057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: this is the high chair we have and I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889849 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 22:18:22 +0000 LCTBQE 2889849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonJack: I never thought to use them in the bathroom!! I only have them in all our dresser drawers, that is so smart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889847 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 22:09:50 +0000 LemonJack 2889847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: Yep. I originally bought two sets and that wasn’t nearly enough. I use them in the kids dressers, my dresser, to organize diapers, and in the bathroom for washcloths, etc. SO nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889846 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 22:04:46 +0000 LCTBQE 2889846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonJack: they are in my top 5 favorite home products of all time. I can't even imagine not having them, I would be so annoyed pawing through a bunch of mixed up shit with one hand and the baby in the other arm looking for clean size 6-9mo leggings in the dark or god forbid a matching pair of baby socks. and they're six bucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889845 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 21:53:35 +0000 LemonJack 2889845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: YES!!! I love these. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889829 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 19:52:42 +0000 LCTBQE 2889829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skubb drawer organizers, this version with the 6 boxes: LIFE CHANGING. I have two sets for each kid's dresser, they are amazing for organizing baby clothes and diapering drawers. I use them for my underwear drawer, too, and I buy them every time I go to ikea, they are awesome add-ons to baby presents :) </p> [attach=6423/19/pu1jru.425x600.Screen-Shot-2019-07-02-at-8.48.35-PM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889823 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 18:57:27 +0000 Ms. RV 2889823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my favorite restaurants uses the Antilop highchair. It is only $28 but seems super durable and easy to clean. I have considered getting one to keep out on our deck.</p> <p>ETA: Actually it is only $23. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889727 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 08:56:08 +0000 Mommy Finger 2889727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-We have a few Hemnes dressers from there that have held up (and one that didn't b/c DS1 kept hanging on the drawers)<br /> -The kids cups/plates/utensils everyone talks about<br /> -The Trofast systems that people mention<br /> -The Poang chairs are pretty comfy<br /> -Ribba picture frames are amazing<br /> -Sheets are really good<br /> -Towels that we use in the guest room and for beach towels<br /> -kids tables and chairs<br /> -These dish towels that are like $.79. We have like 20 of them and use them for just about everything from napkins to dish drying to what you would use paper towels for<br /> -dish brushes for the sink. Super cheap so I buy a few and toss when they're looking old<br /> -Just walking around to get ideas on how you want to set up your rooms and storage options</p> <p>I used to work by one and would sometimes just go on my lunch hour to wander. :) We love going now that the boys are older so that they can play in the play place for 60-90 minutes while we walk around. Win-win </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889722 Tue, 02 Jul 2019 08:23:21 +0000 graceandjoy 2889722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh so much! I live 10 minutes from one so I go often to buy cheap house-ware/kids stuff. Furniture wise, I have multiple Kallax units, we love Trofast, and I really love Nordli collection as kids dressers. I've also bought bedding, pillows and comforters from Ikea, all were/are great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889674 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 18:42:19 +0000 wrkbrk 2889674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Oopdah: I was going to say this too! So simple but we’ve been using them for over three years now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889610 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 10:22:08 +0000 MountainBaby 2889610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love pretty much all their kids stuff :) Just a warning that we had a bad experience with their freight shipping (took 3 months to arrive). Their parcel shipping was fine, but just know to be careful if it’s something you need quickly.</p> <p>Specific things we like:<br /> Kalas plate/bowls/cups/flatware - perfect for toddlers<br /> Mala easel and smock, chalk, etc<br /> Duktig play food - 3 sets of fruits, veggies, etc<br /> Masterby step stool, sturdy waterproof and tall enough for toddlers to reach faucets </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889605 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 09:19:27 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 2889605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely shelving and storage. Trofast for kids' toys, especially. We've had tables, chests of drawers, various shelving units like Kalax, never a complaint.</p> <p>In general, the things that draw more complaints are upholstered furniture, beds and mattresses, though we do have an Ikea bed and mattress for my son and he's totally fine on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889596 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 07:20:09 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2889596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two kalax shelving units that I love, one as our TV stand and one in E's room for extra storage. E also sleeps in an IKEA crib and has an IKEA dresser. I also am a big fan of their childrens silverware and cups. We have two IKEAs within 30-45 min so we often get good priced basics for the house like frames and candles and stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889591 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 06:15:38 +0000 Oopdah 2889591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if it's worth making a trip for, but I do like their plastic cups for kids. Kalas, I think is the name. They are a good size for toddlers and for in the bathroom, playing with, whatever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-ikea-purchases#post-2889587 Mon, 01 Jul 2019 06:07:09 +0000 pachamama 2889587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live 4 hours from an Ikea so it would have to be online, but what are some things you love from Ikea? Baby / kid gear, furniture, kitchen stuff etc that's made your life easier? 😊 </p>
