buzzfeed.com 2024/10/5

From bathtime to bedtime and beyond, these will make life a little less cluttered.

1. A bathtub toy caddy to keep those rubber duckies literally in a row, with room for anything else your child needs to stay entertained during bathtime.

amazon.com

Promising review: "My daughter had way too many toys over crowding our tub so we needed something to organize her bathroom toys. We ordered this and it has been the absolute best! My daughter enjoys putting her toys away everyday after her bath. I wish we would've ordered this a long time ago! It has great durability holds a good amount of toys it came with two different types of hooks which I thought was awesome. One was a sticker hook the other is a suction hooks. We are currently using the sticker hooks and they stick very well and have not even attempted to fall off. Overall, we are very satisfied with this product!" —Jeffrey

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and with or without toys included).

2. A Magna-Tiles storage bin and play mat so you can make sure all the pieces needed to build tomorrow's castle make it safely into the storage bin. The mat can also be taken on the go. (Think: extra entertainment for summer park hangs.)

Promising review: "A MUST-HAVE if your child likes to play with magnetic tiles! This hold so many at once. My young children can easily use this soft-sided storage box to keep all of their pieces in one spot. It’s firm enough to hold its shape but soft enough that I don’t have to worry about breaking it if they place items in the box too harshly. It also becomes a nifty little base or playing area when it’s unfolded (this 100% helps with a 'he’s in my space!' situation)." —kortney

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

3. A storage basket that quickly makes even the messiest playrooms look more put together. Store blankets, dolls, teddy bears, or panic throw in all those loose blocks before guests come over.

Target

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this kid’s bookshelf. I debated between quite a few styles, reading through reviews before making a choice. For this price point, this is a great shelf. The wood feels heavy and sturdy, and I love the color. It matched her dresser perfectly. The pockets are great for smaller board books and I’m using the drawers for puzzles. Was very easy to put together." —Samantha Brown

Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in three colors).

6. A table and chair set that comes with a smooth worktop and transforms into one ready for your building block creations. There's also a storage bag on the side to put your blocks while not in use.

Promising review: "I bought this for my 3-year-old daughter for Christmas. She loves Legos and the fact that this table has two surfaces is perfect. She uses it to eat on, color, and paint on. It shipped very fast and came on time and it was very easy to assemble. It also comes with a little Legos net storage bag to hold the Legos. I would definitely recommend you to buy this for your toddler." —Landra

Get it from Amazon for $59.99.

7. A corner storage unit so there isn't a wasted inch in your playroom. These corner shelves are a blank space for you to make work however you need: decor on top, storage bins full of toys, books on display.

8. A toy bin organizer allowing you the flexibility to keep toys of all shapes and sizes. The bins are light enough even your child can remove them from the shelf for easy play before putting them back in before the night is over.

Promising review: "This was just what I was looking for to use on my umbrella stroller. I was looking for cup holders and got much more. The cup holders work great for bottled water and drinks with lids. Be careful when removing your child from stroller though. The weight will tip the stroller and create a mess with drinks. I am able to keep my cell phone, spare diapers, and much more in the pockets." —paislee

Get it from Walmart for $24.96 (originally $29.99).

10. A backseat organizer so you can constantly cart around all the stuff without your space feeling too cluttered. And the tablet pocket allows easy viewing without the risk of it falling out.

Promising review: "I love this backseat organizer! I have a 5-year-old daughter, and I can keep all her stuff organized in my car. I usually keep extra hand wipes, tissues, and books in the car. It was easy to install and remove. It has plenty of pockets to keep a lot of stuff organized. You can also keep water bottles in there, and there is a section for their iPad if they wanna watch a movie while on the road." —Eve626

Get it from Walmart for $12.98.

11. A diaper caddy great for holding your wipes, diapers, creams, and any other baby-related items. Even full, it's light enough to cart around to different parts of the house (or just buy two to create permanent changing spaces upstairs and downstairs like we did).

Promising review: "Never thought I needed a diaper caddy until I started using this one. Love how it has so many compartments and it’s easily foldable for me to take with me on trips or into my car if needed! Super soft material as well." —Wendy

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two sizes and colors).

12. A bottle drying rack that has so much space but doesn't take up too much room on your countertop. This was the centerpiece of our "baby" corner, where we could keep our bottles and all their parts organized as they dried.

Promising review: "This is the best drying rack!! It’s easy to clean and I am a huge fan of the removable basket at the top, which is great for the small intricate parts to the anti-colic bottles we have. This is a must for new parents!! Also, would be a great baby shower gift!!" —Courtney

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in taupe).

13. A playpen for when your baby starts crawling but you're not ready (mentally or physically) to give them free rein of the whole house. Plus, this is an easy place to store and organize their toys, playmats, etc., so the rest of your living room can remain a peaceful place to scroll TikTok after bedtime.

Promising review: "Easy to put together and wipe down for easy clean up. It’s sturdy enough to keep my toddler contained as well, which I wasn’t expecting him to enjoy so much. The easy-access little doorway is a huge hit with all my kids. Much larger than a regular playpen." —Lattiegirl

Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

14. A set of pads for your elbows and knees that has mesh pockets to organize the essentials. Being the parent on bath duty is not for the weak. (Especially if you're a first-time mom in your thirties with aging knees like *ahem* someone I know.)

Promising review: "Very happy with this purchase! The kneeler is quite thick, and I had no issues with pain at all! Was able to bathe three kiddos back to back!!! The elbow rest was also very thick and the extra pockets are a plus to hold toys! Each side comes with suction cups to hold it in place. When it got wet, it dried quickly." —Miranda Shepard

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors).

15. A simple toy storage chest for the neutral parents who refuse to be overtaken by chaotic colorful clutter. Get the bright, stimulating toys, then hide them away when play time is over.

Promising review: "This small first aid kit is great! Cute fabric, it is a 'roll-up' first aid kit. Perfect, small size to fit in diaper bag/purse, or to just stash in your car. There is an exterior slot pocket in case you want to add anything. Nice assortment of Band-Aid sizes — child and plain Band-Aids. Other things included scissors, medical tape, nail clippers, tweezers, gauze, hydrocortisone, burn cream, antibiotic ointment, lip balm, and safety pins. My favorite are two disposable thermometer strips! Oral or under the arm. Brilliant! So handy for when out and about! I just bought it, and I've already used a Band-Aid. Great find, I do recommend!" —Jac

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).

17. An over-the-door organizer for all the furry friends your child has collected over the years. Put it inside a closet door and you can close them away for a clutter-free play space.

19. A costume rack so your child's imagination isn't slowed down by digging through a bin. There is plenty of room to hang up their favorite dress-up costumes, plus a handy mirror on the side to make sure their crown is on straight.

Promising review: "This is perfect for my kids costume rack. We put this in their play room so they can hang their costumes up. I think it teaches them to put their clothes away which is nice, and the bottom drawers we keep the accessories. Love it!" —Madeline

Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two colors). 

20. A set of straps we use mostly at restaurants so we're not spending our whole meal reaching down or climbing under tables to pick up toys and teethers. These have several snaps so you can customize based on the size of the toy or car seat/high chair arm.

Promising review: "These secure a toy straps are awesome! I just ordered two more sets! I use them on our stroller, his high chair, and his jumper seat! It allows me to attach almost any toy and adjust the length to make it comfortable to reach. You can attach it to two places as well since the snaps go all the way to the end. After use I just wash it in the sink and let it air dry! Perfect!" —KPITT

Promising review: "Super impressed! Sturdy sides and holders. Love the separate strap which we leave behind her carseat and attach tray whenever we use it. Makes it so fast to setup. Better yet...folds up flat to stow away in the pocket of driver seat. Thank you!" —Jaymie

Get it from Amazon for $30.95+ (available in 12 colors).

22. A desk organizer because we were all that little kid once who needed to have every color of glitter gel pen. Use this to organize your kids' crayons, colored pencils, or favorite pens.

Promising review: "I am so glad I bought this!! I had no idea what to do with the box full of crayons, markers, pencils etc. that my daughter had until I found this on Amazon. It now sits neatly on her work table and she can easily pick what she wants. A big pro about this is that she can easily pick out what compartment she wants as they do come apart and can easily be put away, and there is a ton of space! The only con I have is that I wish it was a spin table to easily maneuver, but all in all I am very happy with this purchase and my daughter loves it!" —Kristen J

Get it from Amazon for $13.19+ (available in two colors).

23. A large polka-dot fabric storage bin to keep those piles of stuff hidden away. It will also add a funky pattern pop, but in something that's lightweight so your little one can move it, open it, close it, and jump in it, all on their own.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this box! My son got the grey one for his birthday, so I had to get one for my baby girl! It's magnetic, so easy to go on and off! It's also incredibly sturdy!  Love this as a toy/dress up box! 100% recommend." —Exley

Get it from Target for $30.

24. A set of clips for a DIY art gallery to showcase your child's latest masterpieces. These make it easy to swap out art and choose how many are on display at a time so they're not all taking up drawer space somewhere.

Various colorful kids' artworks are displayed on a wall
amazon.com

Promising review: "This art gallery for my children’s artwork is seriously cool. I wanted a sleek way of being able to rotate their artwork over time and display different artwork in their playroom. Everyone compliments how cool it looks. My only complaint is, there aren’t enough alligator hook clips. It would be great to be able to buy more from the manufacturer. I just bought some random alligator hook clips on Amazon and that did the trick. We used most of the wire (~10 feet) since we have a large playroom. You can customize the length by using scissors to shorten it. This is brilliant." —Lesleigh

Get it from Amazon for $29.97.

25. A pouch organizer that are so easy to see your toddler can grab snacks for themselves (which is the only way they like to eat these days!). These can adhere to a cabinet or even be placed in a fridge for those pouches that need to stay cold.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Both of my boys love fruit/veggie pouches so I always keep them in stock at our house. I hated that they would fall over on the shelves. When I saw these, I thought that might just help! And they do! There was enough room to put two kinds on one shelf and the third I put on the next shelf down. They don't fall, but it is still pretty easy for you to get the pouches off when you want one. Just make sure you know where you want them because the 3M tape is very sticky, and you cannot move it after you've placed it. All in all, I would highly recommend these for parents of fruit pouch lovers!" —Danielle Dronsella

Get it on Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sliders or hangers).

26. A sports equipment organizer to keep in your garage that's big enough to keep all your summer sports gear in order. The large compartment is big enough to keep dirty soccer balls out of your house; the upper sections are great to keep smaller accessories in order.

A rack filled with various sports equipment, including basketballs, footballs, tennis rackets, baseball gloves, and other sporting goods
amazon.com

Promising review: "I really love this unit for in our garage. It holds so many toys and balls! All of these toys were in a big bucket prior, and the kids could not ever see what was on the bottom and, therefore, never played with half of them. They played for two hours straight with all the toys they’d always had since setting up the shelves. They felt new to them, and they could easily see everything. And it’s not as tall of a unit as it looks; our 5- and 6-year-olds can reach the items on the shelves, too, which I love. Easy assembly, took me maybe 20 minutes." —AHyde

Get it from Amazon for $119.99.

27. A weekday clothing organizer that not only takes extra thinking out of those groggy morning hours, but helps see what laundry needs to be done for the week.

Promising review: "I bought one for my twins but plan to get another when they get a bit bigger! This thing is GREAT. It helps me save several minutes in the morning trying to find clothes and it’s a great way to let me know I need to wash/add more clothes for the upcoming week. If you are trying to get organized in the morning to help save time, this is a winner!!!" —huntbaby
