When changing your baby, you want everything within reach: nappies, wipes, a cream and a clean bodysuit. With changing table baskets everything sits neatly together on the changing table, and your nursery looks tidy straight away. At Tiny Giggles you'll find soft fabric changing table baskets from BimbiDreams, with an outer layer of organic cotton, in six themes: Happy, Happy Days, Kenia, Planet Green, Planet Pink and Wonderland. Below you can read what makes them special and how to use them cleverly.
The BimbiDreams changing table baskets
All BimbiDreams changing table baskets measure 24 x 24 x 13 cm. The outer layer is organic cotton with a little elastane, and the polyester filling makes the basket soft and sturdy at the same time. Because the basket is made of fabric, it has no hard edges and you can wash it in the washing machine at up to 30 °C. That way it stays fresh, even if a cream leaks or a bottle tips over.
Choose your theme
- Happy: green, fresh and cheerful.
- Happy Days: lilac with white, soft and sweet.
- Kenia: beige, calm and natural.
- Planet Green: green with grey.
- Planet Pink: pink with grey.
- Wonderland: beige with brown, warm and timeless.
Many of these themes also come back in other BimbiDreams products. There are baby hooded towels in Happy, Kenia, Planet Green and Wonderland, and drool bibs in Happy Days and Kenia. That makes it easy to put together a nursery where everything matches.
What goes in a changing table basket?
A changing table basket of 24 x 24 cm has room for the things you need at every nappy change:
- a stack of nappies for the day ahead;
- a pack of baby wipes or a few wash mitts;
- nappy cream, body lotion and a brush;
- a muslin cloth or burp cloth;
- a set of clean socks or a bodysuit for emergencies.
Soft wash mitts and washcloths and muslin swaddles and burp cloths fit in nicely. Handy care products are under baby care.
Using changing table baskets cleverly
Use two or three changing table baskets side by side and give each basket its own job: one for nappies and wipes, one for care products and one for clothes or small toys. That way you grab what you need without searching, and you can see straight away when the nappies are running low. Place the baskets on the side of the changing table where you usually stand, so you can reach them with one hand while keeping the other hand on your baby. Top them up every evening, and you start the day with a full supply.
Setting up a comfortable changing area
A good changing area saves you time and back pain every day. Choose a changing table at a comfortable working height, so you don't have to bend over. Put a changing mat with a washable cover on top and place the baskets next to it or on a shelf above. Make sure there is good light, especially for night-time changes; a soft lamp is nicer than the main light then. Keep a bin with a lid within reach for dirty nappies. You could also hang a mobile or put a soft toy ready, so your baby has something to look at while you change them.
Changing safely
Never leave your baby alone on the changing table, not even for a moment. That's why it helps to keep everything you need within reach, in the baskets next to the changing mat. Do keep creams and small items out of your baby's reach, so little hands can't get to them. A fabric basket has no sharp edges, but it isn't a toy: take it away if your baby starts playing with it.
Handy in the rest of the house too
A changing table basket isn't only handy on the changing table. In the bathroom you can keep wash mitts and bath things in it, in the living room an extra supply of nappies and wipes, so you don't keep having to go upstairs. Later you can use the basket for cuddly toys, hair clips, small toys or craft supplies. Thanks to the calm colours it fits in any room. More for the nursery and kids' room is under kids room, and everything for the home under home.
Tidying up together
As your child grows, you can use the baskets to tidy up together. A soft basket is light and easy to carry, and a toddler can put blocks, cuddly toys or books in it by themselves. Give each basket a fixed place in the cupboard, and your child will quickly learn where everything belongs. That way the basket grows with your child from nursery to kids' room.
On the go
Going to stay with grandma and grandpa for a weekend? Take a basket with the care products along; that way you have everything together there too. For on the go, a changing bag with compartments is most practical.
Washing and care
Empty the basket and wash it in the washing machine at up to 30 °C. Use a mild detergent and let the basket air dry in shape afterwards. In between, you can dab small stains with a damp cloth. That way your changing table basket stays nice and soft for a long time. Also give the basket a wash before first use, so everything is fresh when your baby arrives.
A practical baby gift
A changing table basket is a practical and pretty baby gift or a lovely present for a baby shower. Fill it with wash mitts, a hooded towel and a bib in the same theme, and you have a gift that gets used straight away. For example, combine the Kenia theme with a Kenia hooded towel and Kenia bibs, or choose Happy Days for a soft lilac nursery. More ideas are under gifts. We are happy to gift-wrap your present.
