We have 6 I think they are expensive but sturdy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780418 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 10:00:41 +0000 peachykeen 2780418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had the cheap square ones from Target for years (like 7-8 years) and they have held up well. But I recently bought a couple new ones from Target that are wider and built to fit against your hip more easily - I've only tested them a couple months but they seem sturdy! </p> <p>These ones:<br /> <a href="https://www.target.com/p/home-logic-hip-grip-laundry-basket-white-with-teal-handles/-/A-16681627#lnk=sametab" rel="nofollow">https://www.target.com/p/home-logic-hip-grip-laundry-basket-white-with-teal-handles/-/A-16681627#lnk=sametab</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780411 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 09:51:04 +0000 Mommy Finger 2780411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: I'm with you! DH is in charge of laundry but it takes him FOREVER to get it done and put away so we have way too many clothes to compensate. I don't complain too much b/c a) I don't have to do the laundry and b) shopping! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780352 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 06:20:19 +0000 Foodnerd81 2780352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: yeah my kid is currently bouncing around in a laundry basket and playing some game where she tips herself out of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780349 Wed, 18 Oct 2017 02:53:13 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2780349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just have the cheap white ones like posted from amazon. A hip kidney bean one and a rectangle one. We use them to carry heavy stuff sometimes and then for laundry and kiddie car rides on the floor. :). Surprisingly they haven't broken, but it's probably a matter of time. They're 10 years old at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780336 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 21:52:56 +0000 turquoisemama 2780336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the big plastic tubs from target. They don’t have holes so they don’t fall apart, they have nice rope handles and they are the perfect size. I think $8 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780333 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 21:32:41 +0000 SweetCaroline 2780333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: bahaha this conversation is fascinating! I mean...if we're calling it what it is...I likely just don't use my baskets enough... Each member of my family has a substantial collection of socks and underwear to get us through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780250 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 14:53:13 +0000 Mommy Finger 2780250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: That's what we do. One basket for each of the 4 of us. One for towels and one for sheets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780233 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:57:15 +0000 Adira 2780233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Ahh, actually, we probably DO need another laundry basket or too because Hubs' clean clothes just go in a pile on the floor!! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780223 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:32:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2780223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: we have a set of six laundry baskets and there are definitely times when they are all full of clean clothes in various stages of being folded. But I do like to fold things and put them into different baskets for different rooms/ people to make it easier to put away (I fold in front of the tv in the family room). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780215 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:21:48 +0000 Mrs.Macaroon 2780215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: We have those too and the grey handles bust off. I have resorted to buying the cheaper ones. I think they are under $5 and if i have to replace them every 6 months or so it doesn't break the bank </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780213 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:20:33 +0000 maddyz 2780213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use TubTrugs and love them. I also use them for toys. They come in lots of different sizes. They aren't baskets.</p> <p>We live in a small apartment and I like that they stack super easily, and are soft when you run into them in the dark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780211 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:16:55 +0000 snowjewelz 2780211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a soft plastic woven one from HomeGoods or Marshalls or TjMaxx that I use as a laundry basket. Also got pretty hampers from one of these stores too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780210 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:16:33 +0000 Mommy Finger 2780210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Fair point! Square = bad.</p> <p>Watch out @SweetCaroline:! hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780208 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:13:44 +0000 Adira 2780208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: My husband had a square one and that broke pretty quickly. I think because we would carry it on our hip like the ones @Foodnerd81 linked, but that would put pressure on it and it would break. The one with the hip spot doesn't have that issue at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780206 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:12:18 +0000 Mommy Finger 2780206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Ha! Maybe it's because we have the square ones? DH is normally the one dealing with laundry so maybe he doesn't know his own strength!!!! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780205 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:10:33 +0000 Adira 2780205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: That's the exact one we have too. We've had it for years and it's still in great condition. We don't really do anything with it except carry laundry around though.</p> <p>ETA: Am I doing laundry wrong? Why would you need so many laundry baskets? We have one. We do have a bunch of hampers though (each kid has a hamper and then we have laundry sorter in our room). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780203 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 13:05:21 +0000 Foodnerd81 2780203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got sterlite ones on amazon and have never had a problem! My kids even play in them and fight over them. What are you doing to your laundry baskets?? :silly:<br /> Sterilite 12108006 1.25 Bushel/44 Liter Ultra Hip Hold Laundry Basket, White Basket w/ Titanium Inserts, 6-Pack <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BDTEOW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EyK5zbS93GNWY" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002BDTEOW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_EyK5zbS93GNWY</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780199 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 12:55:31 +0000 SweetCaroline 2780199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: ha, dang...I was afraid you would say that. Ours look like new! We mostly keep them in the laundry room though, no kiddos horsing around in them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780197 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 12:49:03 +0000 Mommy Finger 2780197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetCaroline: Really? Maybe we're really hard on our laundry baskets as those are exactly the ones we have. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780194 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 12:42:40 +0000 SweetCaroline 2780194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought square Sterilite brand, white with grey handles. We built slots for them, so they essentially hang on their handles with the weight of a very full load of laundry. They show no wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laundry-baskets#post-2780188 Tue, 17 Oct 2017 12:08:38 +0000 Mommy Finger 2780188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This seems like a silly question but where do you get your laundry baskets? We've been just buying the plastics ones from Target and they keep falling apart within a year. We're going to be redoing our basement that includes our laundry room and I want to incorporate spaces for 6 baskets in the design. But I'm looking for some that will last! Any suggestions? </p>
