How I Use Laundry Baskets as a Parenting Product
It May Sound Kind of Crazy, But My Favourite Parenting Product is My Laundry Basket
1
It all started, unsurprisingly, in the laundry room. One morning, I squatted awkwardly down to load the washer with my napping infant strapped into her carrier. This daily ritual was becoming cumbersome. The IRIS USA, Inc. Comfort Carry Laundry Basket ($35) so resembled the bassinet at my bedside that I decided to lay her down in it, on a receiving blanket fresh out of the dryer. She dozed on, thanks to the machine's perfect white noise, and I folded the clothes without straining my back. When I finished, I carried the basket (and the baby fast asleep) by its handles into the next room with me. But this was only the start of how a laundry basket would help my parenting.
