The 6 best baby clothes baskets we’ve seen yet

Check out our choices for the top baby clothes baskets

When you find out you’re pregnant, a to-do list a million miles long starts to form. Some things are stressful (like financials), and some are fun (like picking out names). One of the bigger things on your list is planning out a nursery. Now, while there are plenty of things you could honestly skip for your nursery, one thing you shouldn’t neglect to add to the room is a baby clothes hamper.

Sure, your kiddo won’t be the one putting the items in the basket quite yet, but you’ll want a place to store your little one’s dirty clothes. Did you know babies go through an average of three to four outfits a day, or more? So, a baby clothes hamper only makes sense! Here are some of the best baby clothes baskets to consider when you’re purchasing one for your nursery.

It has the capacity to handle even the largest loads of laundry but takes up minimal space. It features soft and padded handles for carrying around while being gentle on your hands. Its folding lid won’t fall into the hamper with the dirty clothes when you toss something from across the room, and it’ll keep the mess (and potential smells) from overtaking the room.
