Those bins were a hot topic when I posted pictures of my apartment. I stand by my belief that the most effective form of childproofing is by teaching boundaries. No one is going to change my mind on this. This is how I was raised, my husband was raised, nearly everyone everywhere has been raised, and most of us have lived to tell the story.
That said, that is not the point of this post. Here were some suggestions to my "problem bins."
#1) Move them to a basement, relatives home or storage unit.
Those bins were accessed frequently. I have a three month old, 16 month old and 3.5 year old. None of them fit exactly into standard sizes. I am swapping clothes in and out of those bins as needed.
#2) Get rid of some clothes.
I have about two weeks of summer outfits and two weeks of winter outfits for each size, with some clothes overlapping, so that suggestion didnt make any sense. However, each bin was only about a third filled, some less.
I used these bins because they were practical. We had them from moving and they fit in the space. However, I have since picked up some old milk crates from a yard sale. I had to do some rearranging elsewhere to free up the crates, but the contents of each container fits perfectly, some with plenty of space to fit the clothes that are currently in my kids wardrobe. I put a curtain over it, as the milk crates were an assortment of colors. I like the new storage solution.
Lesson Learned: Have containers that fit what you need.
(I feel silly for wasting that much space that whole time.)
