DD is only a year old and I already have a big bin full of outgrown clothes, and a huge growing pile in her closet. I'm thinking of getting some of those huge ziploc storage bags instead of buying more bins that I'm not sure we have the space for. How do you store your outgrown stuff? I don't want to get rid of it yet in case #2 is a girl too!
-
We put all things she has outgrown in totes. We already have 5 totes full and she isn't even 10 months yet. Good thing we have a lot of storage space.
-
We put clothes into totes
-
We're sending it all to my parents who have tons of storage. Sadly, we have none.
-
I have bins I'm keeping on the bottom of the changing table. I might need a different system soon but I'm not ready to get rid of clothes yet.
-
I've been letting them like up BUT wanted to chime in and say those ziplock bags rock I put all my maternity clothes in one !
-
I use old diaper boxes and label by size and put at the top of his closet.
-
I keep a big rubbermaid in the bottom of her closet all the time and put anything that's outgrown in it, along with smaller gear. But I've filled up several already and LO is not even one yet!
-
I also have totes. So so many totes!
-
i think totes are a great idea. we keep them in the pampers diapers boxes and i label by size/age. i like that the boxes are smaller -- seems easier to deal with, imo (but cardboard boxes aren't the best idea for storing clothing...).
i also purge like crazy before i store them -- i only store stuff that he actually wore, and so therefore means i actually liked/was functional for us
no use in storing stuff that we dont like/won't use!
-
Everything lo has outgrown so far I've stored in plastic containers and kept them at my mum's house. The plan atm is to sort through them all when lo is about a year and sort out what ones I definitely want to keep in case we have another girl and what I can pass along to someone else who needs them.
-
We went to ikea to get some cheap storage.
-
I did 18g Rubbermaid totes. We have 5 of them full of her crib bedding, burps, bibs, sheets, blankets, and NB-12m clothes. Basically all the outgrown stuff from her 1st year. Thank god she has a decent sized closet.
I think I need to get some of those vacuum bags.
-
I gave away/sold a lot of things since we lived in a small apartment the first year with DS. Now I use vacuum space saver bags and then stack the bags in large cardboard boxes. It's a good way to keep bugs and dust out.
-
I just started using the SpaceSaver vacuum bags- we do have a lot of storage at our house but I like the fact that they are airtight. They also hold a ton- I was able to put 6 months of clothes in each one.
-
I put them in vacuum bags, then put the vacuum bags in tubs. The tubs go in our shed. I figure this keeps everything nice.
-
Right now we are using totes. So far I have 2 full ones and he's only 8 months.
-
totes for now, might look into the vacuum bags
-
I have the huge ziploc bags you're talking about. I kept them in my closet at our old house because I knew we would be having number 2. We were team green both times so a lot of H's stuff was gender neutral at first. When Em started growing, I went through the clothes and have been donating and trying to sell off items that I won't be putting her in/don't see saving for another baby.
We're crazy. We're going to have a number 3 eventually
-
In bags in her closet but i am also planning to get the lath Ziploc bags
-
Rubbermaid tubs, I really like the 10 gallon size. We keep them in the attic, NB-6m, 6-12 so far and a tub with toys. The bigger toys get wrapped in garbage bags and stored in the attic too.
-
right now we just use totes. once #2 gets here, we are going to see what she uses(#1 was a boy) and then we're going to consign/sell/handdown everything after that since we are done having kids.
-
We put them in the space saver vacuum bags and then in totes. Then it all goes to our storage shed. Vacuum bags + totes means it's all stackable, so storing is easy.
-
We use plastic totes as well.
@red_seattle: I should do this soon once our space bags reappear. Her outgrown clothes are getting ridic.
@BeachMama: what about space bags?
-
I give them to my sister, who's baby is 14 weeks younger than D. And then she stores it, cuz her house is 2x the size of mine.
no use in storing stuff that we dont like/won't use!
