Reddit reviews Franklin Brass 193153-FN Over the Door Triple Towel Rack with Hooks, Satin Nickel

Cull the toys, heavily. They are young and do not play with more than 1 or 2 things at a time anyway. This also gives you a chance to decide what you really WANT for them to play with. What do they need right now for development? I tend to avoid stuffed animals. They take up too much space - like one or two "favorites" like their bedtime bear and a friend for the bear. The loud plastic shit that is just a hulking piece of noise? Let it go.

For the 3-year-old, based on developmental milestones for this age I would choose:

• A handful of small [hand size] toys (like the Little People size/style...not the big playsets just a few people/cars/animals so they can start to make up their own stories).
  
• Something that encourages color and shape recognition, like shape shorters, puzzles, or just a few different colored balls or bean bags for throwing (b/c throwing is a thing for this age).
  
• Something that encourages number counting and recognition...like the little pieces that connect or have numbers on them and you sort them...even alphabet and number blocks or magnets.
  
• Lots of identifying stuff (like picture and board books that explain "the cow goes moo" "the duck is yellow").
  
  That's really it. Get it all to fit in one box/bin. I'm pretty liberal with books, though...there should always be plenty.
  
  For a 10-month-old:
  
  
• Things too big to swallow, but small enough to hold in the hand.
  
• Things that are safe to put into the mouth (can be washed).
  
• Things that make noise (beans in a water bottle could work, it doesn't have to be fancy).
  
• Things that encourage trying to move (maybe something small with wheels she can crawl after if it gets pushed
  
  My kids' toys before they were about 5 could all fit in one small box.
  
  For other storage and organization:
  
  
• Over the door shoe rack - Put one of these on every door. The lowest row - put little things to occupy the baby so she can get in there without causing trouble. Store a few of her toys down there. The upper few rows are for mom and dad. Supplies that need to be available but out of the reach of kids. Things that need to be in that room - but you don't really want "out". Put a row for the older kid, too, so they can better clean up. This also helps you get things up off the floor when you need to do a quick clean. "Everything in its place" is really just about making sure you can clear the floor and surfaces quickly. Then maybe at night, you can go through the organizer and put things into the rooms where they belong or whatever. But at least it is off the floor, off the table, whatever the case is - and the pockets are clear so you can check them real quick if you're missing something.
  
• More over the door stuff: towel rack and towel hooks - I hang up clothes all the time (and towels, but in the bathroom). The shirt they wore for 20 minutes before school but changed last minute, their pajamas, the smock they're SUPPOSED to wear when they paint but you can never find it, jackets, etc, whatever. For the hooks (I also install individual hooks in various places around the house - like down low near the front door so kids can put up their own crap) you can leave backpacks, hats, or put a bag to collect things like stray socks & mittens.
  
  I also use a spare laundry basket to collect things so I can put them away later. The goal is just to get things off the floor and surfaces...and worry about putting it away later.
  
  I vacuum my hard floors - it's just easier than sweeping. I intentionally bought a vacuum that can do carpets and hardwood. I have also taken the hose and sucked up crumbs from the table.
