Bins for changing table

Everything for changing diapers within arm's reach

You're standing at the changing table with a baby who rolls from side to side, and you need a diaper, a wet wipe, and a clean outfit right now, without letting go of the child with one hand. That's exactly where a box in the right size makes all the difference. Here you'll find storage boxes and wooden boxes that fit into the shelves under the changing mat or look nice on top of the dresser, so diaper cream and care products have fixed places and are easy to reach. Below we help you choose the size, location, and material, so the changing area becomes calm and easy to use in a busy everyday life.

How to choose the size that fits in the shelf under the changing mat

Most changing areas are located on a dresser with open compartments or shelves underneath, and it's the depth and height of the shelf that determines which box fits. Measure the space before you choose, so the box slides all the way in without sticking out in front of the edge.

For the small consumables you grab most often, a small box fits well. Our white storage box in size small can stand out on the dresser for wet wipes and a tube of cream, so everything is within reach while you keep one hand on the child.

For a whole pack of diapers, extra clothes, and a pile of cloth diapers or cloths, more space is needed, and here the same box in size medium or large is better. They hold a larger amount at a time, so you don't run out in the middle of a change. If you need to utilize a deep space all the way to the bottom, our large storage box is the spacious solution for the large stock of diapers and disposable cloths.

Zones for diapers, care, and clothes separately

What really creates calm at the changing table is to give each type of thing its own box instead of mixing everything together. Then you always know where to reach, and you avoid rummaging through a full drawer with an impatient baby on the table.

A simple division can look like this.

• A box for diapers and disposable cloths, the things you use most.
• A box for care products like cream, oil, wet wipes, and a soft brush.
• A box for clean clothes, bodysuits, and an extra set, just in case.

Several identical boxes next to each other also give a calm and uniform look in the nursery. If you want to see other solutions for the room, you can get more inspiration in our guide to storage at the changing table: create calm in everyday life.

Wooden boxes that dress up the nursery and last for later

If you want a warmer and more natural look than the white plastic box, a wooden box is a good choice. The wood gives a calm atmosphere in the nursery and matches most decor. They come in several shapes, so you can choose according to what the shelf can accommodate.

Naturel wooden box is available in four shapes. The square and the wide are good for gathering care products and clothes in an open space, while the slim one fits in a narrow space next to the dresser. The version with an open front has an open front, so you can grab a diaper directly without lifting the box out first, which is nice with only one hand free.

If you prefer a darker, warmer tone, the same four shapes are available in acacia wood as the acacia wooden box. The big advantage of wood is that the boxes last well beyond the diaper period. When the child grows out of diapers, the same boxes can be used for calm and organized toy storage or books on the shelf.

Open front boxes and shelving when you want to grab with one hand

When you have a baby on the table, every second counts where you can keep one hand on the child. A box with an open front makes it easier, because you can take a diaper directly from the front without lifting a lid or pulling the whole box forward. See the selection in open front boxes.

If you need more shelves than the dresser has, a small shelving unit can provide extra levels close to the changing area. Naturel wood shelving and acacia wood shelving both have an open front and stack the open boxes on top of each other, so you get space for diapers, care products, and clothes on their own level without filling up the floor. It is a good solution in a nursery where space is tight.

Tall wooden box for the large diaper stock

If you buy diapers in large packs, they fill up quickly, and it can be nice to have a stock standing, you don't need to refill every week. Rectangular tall wooden box has good height and holds a nice amount at a time, so you can have the reserve standing next to the dresser and only refill at the changing table when the small consumable box is empty. Then the changing area itself stays tidy, while the stock has its own fixed place.
