If I could post a picture of my daughter's drawers, you would know why we need this! Hope I win!

mary elizabeth said...

i need this because anything + everything just gets shoved under the bed. this would be a HUEG help in getting organized! :D

LittleFam said...

Just the other day, i was doing some Spring cleaning and now I have bins adn piles of things to get organized - this would be perfection!

Melissa said...

yeah i have nooo storage in my teeny tiny apt. so this would be a LIFESAVER!!

alishka babushka said...

As a college student I need this bag! The only storage I have in my apartment is under my bed, and boxes don't fit there! Please pick me!!!

Mary512 said...

Wow what a great idea. My daughter needs this to help out with storage in her room. Great giveaway, thanks!

lindsey said...

my sister just found out she is pregnant with her second child so she certainly will need this to organize my neice's room in preparation for the baby

Amy in Ohio said...

Like Hannah, I wish I could share a photo for the reason I need this - but that would be embarrassing for the whole family.

Help me get organized! As it is, I'm quickly running out of laundry baskets and I'd like to start sleeping on my bed again!

bethany said...

WE need this because we're having a new baby and don't have a place to put everything-this would be great to store some of my son's older clothes!!

mannequin said...

He has such a tiny, tiny room and lots of things that need to be out of reach yet handy. And boy, would this be handy!

gunzie said...

My daughter moved to another room when her little sister was born. Although she really loves the room (gives her more privacy), the room is smaller than the room she had. She can really use this for storage!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Bebemiqui said...

My kids share a room and this would help with organization.
Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com

mama2lilly said...

my daughter could use it for all her tiny little "treasures" that i cannot throw away!

Heather said...

I could use this to store all of my daughter's blankies that she has accumulated. They are taking over her dresser right now and I need the drawer they are in for other things. Thanks

jen said...

i would love to have an organizational tool such as this so that i could "hide" away toys/items that aren't currently needed! i could try to be more organized with circulating her toys!

AzĂșcar said...

I live in 1000 square feet with two children and a husband. I cannot even express to you how much we need this organization.

Naomi said...

Well, her name is Roo. And she's the messiest four year old in the world.

Danielle said...

This would be amazing for the clothes my daughter doesn't wear every day esp. sweaters

mcginnisfamily5(at)gmail(dot)com

Jenny said...

Having something zipped up and dust/spider free under the bed is blowing my mind.

Shelly said...

because I keep buying cute clothes on sale for when she is older!

BrineS said...

Great for storage of toys!

We need this because we live in an old home with very little storage space.

Lo said...

We need this item because we live in a tiny urban apartment. We recently got a crib for our 5 month old, to replace the Pack n' Play we'd set up...and as soon as I got the crib up, I saw the beautiful potential of all that under-crib storage space. I've actually been looking for some kind of container, like this one, that *closes* so I can store our son's linens under there. thanks for recommending this product!!

the4moyers said...

My daughter collects small stuffed animals, and they are accumulating! But she can tell me where/when/why she got each one and I hate to throw them away, especially because she does play with them. But it would be nice to do a rotation type system where she could put some under her bed and then the ones she played with regularly could go in her toybox, and then switch around as needed! These would be ideal! Thanks for offering this!

Amber Star said...

My kids need this because pretty much nothing in their room or playroom is organized, and this would at least be a start.

Everything is just spilling out of the closet or off the shelves. HELP!!

Jean said...

We have stuff everywhere, and under the bed would be great storage for us, as we live in an old bungalow and apparently in building they did not see the need for closets or extra storage space.

samsakara said...

I live in a small apartment building with hardly any space.

Sharon D. said...

Thanks for entering me in your giveaway. This would be so much appreciated as we are VERY limited on space. Thanks again! Sharon D.

C. said...

These are so great they don't need a reason! But my reason is that currently I'm trying to use the under-the-bed space WITHOUT any organizational help, and let's just say it's hard to find anything.

julie said...

I have the drawers with labels and they are still a mess so let's put the stuff in these great bags and hide it undre the bed

B said...

My daughter needs this for sure cos for some reason she keeps pushing things under the bed...and promptly looks under to find them again. I would love to have a method to that madness!

Karin said...

I have stuff under the bed already--It's chaos. I need this to organize it all.

seeryusfam@msn.com said...

My daughter has a really, really small bedroom. We have to utilize all space wisely...and this would be a great way to do that!

PS said...

My son already loves stuffing things under his bed. This might be a much neater way to do it! Plus- a great way to store all that winter clothes, get it out of site, summer is finally here!!

Kristie said...

We only have 1 small closet in our house (it's in my husband and my room), so under the bed storage is a must!

Reiza said...

We need this because my daughters currently have a broken plastic box under their bed in which to keep their shoes. Problem is, they don't like the box, so they often just shove their shoes all the way in the back under the bed which makes it impossible to get them back without having to climb under there (well, I don't actually do that. I send the kids). If they had something cuter, maybe we'd have better luck.

Ames said...

My child that is on the way could use this (well, he/she will be too little... but I would use it) because we have a tiny house and we need to be creative in storage options! Under the crib would be perfect! Thanks :)

Tif said...

Bottom line, she is only 2 but has WAY TOO MUCH STUFF!

Terri Fisher said...

I need this great item so I can store some of my son's out of season or outgrown clothing until his little brother can wear it! It's hard to find places for that sort of storage in our little closets!

the HeartTongues said...

my child needs this 'cause it's soooo stinkin' cute...and so is she!! :) perhaps it would help keep some of her things less dusty...

Andrea said...

My child needs this because not only do I like to have things organized...but he is a little organizer too! :) So this would be great for odds and ends, etc.!

Durrett Family Band said...

We have zero storage space in our house. This would be a life saver!

CJW's folks said...

Because if my little guy grows up to be anything like his parents, he'll have too much stuff.

windycindy said...

Hello, Our oldest son has just moved home from being away at his first year of college. He has brought lots of papers, notebooks, books, etc. that we don't have room for. This
"kangaroom storage would be wonderful to put his stuff in! He has a high bed, so it would easily fit under his bed. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks,Cindi

NateAndJakesMom said...

Everything ends up under the bed anyways in the house so why not try to make it look neat and oh so fashionable?

dolls123 said...

If it helps keep stuff off of DD bed she needs it

jbubolz-miller said...

We're expecting a surpise daughter after anticipating a son and stockpiling boys clothes- (but a good problem to have=). We need to put the boys stuff away and bring on the pink!

nihly said...

We need a few of these because my little cutie just keeps getting bigger and bigger, so we need a place to put all the clothes she has out grown. We are saving them for her future brother or sister!! We can also use them for toys too!

maryadams@gmail.com said...

we live with my parents while my husband's in school- so space is at a premium.

Sharla said...

I have been on a quest to get us more organized. It seriously seems like there is clutter everywhere all the time! This would be a life saver.

laesmralda said...

We are going to be moving overseas in a couple of months and this would be great to save space in my daughters room.

ihchicky said...

We need this because we have a major lack of storage in our house. This would be a great help.

Francesca said...

I would SO need this! Our flat is rather small (40m2..) and we need to use every possible corner to store our things!
This would definitively help!

laura said...

This would be fantastic! I seem to have missed the organizational gene in my family, and am the biggest pile-er (especially of clothes). Now that we are changing from winter to spring/summer clothes, we need a better/neater storage option vs. piles at the bottom of our closet, mixed in with all our shoes. Help!

nor_lou said...

my oldest is always shoving stuff under her bed, at least it would be organized now

Katy said...

My children's rooms are all very small. These would be fantastic to organize some of their stuff under the bed!!! Thank you so much! :)

Uniquely Yours said...

I'm keeping everything that my daughter out grows in case we decide to have another one. This would get rid of some of the clutter.

jskell911 said...

What a cute organizer! Linked it in my blog.

michelle said...

My daughter does not have dresser drawers in her room and for 10 years, has used a couple of desk drawers for her clothing items like sweaters, etc. This would be a wonderful way for her to make better use of her desk space, while still keeping her clothing at hand.

Betsy said...

2 ways: First, we have to switch out seasons because she doesn't have room in her closet and drawers. Second, she has several blankets that were made by grandma and that would be a perfect storage space for them!

Sara L said...

We just moved from a house to an apartment and boy are we cramped for space. This would be great for under the crib!

betty R. said...

GREAT CONTEST and thank you..i would like to win this for julie .her and my son have just had a brand new baby girl and moving into their first apartment,which is small.she tries to keep everything very organized and this would help her...
i invite you & your readers over to my contest as well..value $ 55.00..blogged your contest as well.

Mommy said...

This is great! We need this because the darn bed is designed too low to fit any traditional plastic under-bed bin we've tried. This bag looks just perfect - flexible and cute! I know it would work for us!

I have very little closet space in my house and any gadet to help out would be great.

mrssmiff said...

When we designed our little man's room, I had no clue he would actually have this much stuff.

krisindam at mac dot com

Julie said...

This would be so helpful! Every time I open my closet stuff falls on me! Argh!

Tuesday Girl said...

with two boys in one room, proper storage is key. This would be perfect for under my son's bed or under the crib for blankets and odds and ends!

Michelle ~ [ real neat ] said...

The underbed storage solution would be perfect for all the handmade quilts and afghans that my daughter received as a baby! (And, it's pretty storage... That's always a plus!)

jodi b said...

This would be perfect for the train set I have stashed under the bed now....all willy nilly!
fourblackmans@msn.com

Panjo Kids said...

This would be great for clothes that are seasonal or my son doesn't fit into yet!

Danielle said...

We NEED this because all of my kids stuff are shoved under the bed anyways!
dansan826 at yahoo.com

Katie said...

My son needs this so that mom and dad won't get frustrated because everything ends up under the bed now it can be organized instead. katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.

Heather said...

Because our house is a cape cod style our young boys are on their own floor upstairs but all of their clothes are in our room so I could really use these to keep some of their clothes under the bed and off of the top of my dressers!

Huguette said...

Because it's a mess everywhere and it always seems like there is no where else to store things.

frugallm said...

My daughter needs this because I like to shop for bigger sizes at sales and thrift shops and need a place to store it all!

littlewhirl said...

I can always use a little extra storage.

always.

Mary said...

We need this because we live in an older home with tiny closets and rooms, the more use of space we can find the better.

LisaW said...

Our 3 boys need these because they share a room with only one small closet.

superfizz said...

My family lives in a teeny tiny home and could definitely use this. Thanks for a great contest!

Shannon said...

My little boy stays with my parents like every other weekend and I think this would be great to keep at his grandparents.

Sherry G said...

I just put together a 'toddler room' for my daughter; however, it is the smallest room in the house and it lacks storage space. i'm just about to finish sewing the crib bedding that includes a dust ruffle behind which we could store the kangaroom storage bag--what a perfect solution for us.

lace said...

This would be great to store the clothes that the older girl has grown out of but they younger can wear the next year.btyronx

misty said...

This would be great for my daughter because I like to save all of her old Halloween costumes, and other things that she no longer uses.

Mama EZ said...

Ooo, with a tieeney tiny home and a new baby on the way, this is a MUCH needed item in our home. What a treat it would be to win!

Bunny B said...

Oooo.. we need this bad cos it's cute and we have so many stuff which can be stored in it! Thanks :)

art-sweet said...

We live in Upstate NY where it's summer one day and winter the next. These would be great for keeping out of season clothes out of the way but accessible!

PiesBonitos said...

We could definitely use this for seasonal clothing storage!

Carrie

Kisha said...

I need this because you can never, ever have enough storage! I love being organized.

Laura said...

Because my yarn stash is taking over the guest room closet!

erinls said...

I would love to tidy up the toys that already end up being stored under my daughter's bed. She has a birthday coming up and we've got to either get her a bigger room or get her little one more organized. Since I can't afford to move, I guess I better get busy organizing! This would help out~

ms firefly said...

i live in a very small apartment and always has this big problem of storage, everything is almost on top of another.

it would organize everything under my bed! please count me in!

Mika said...

We live in an apartment and always looking for new ways to maximize space. This would be great!

Cuddle Cottage said...

We live in a teeny one bedroom apartment, and finding new and creative ways to squirrel my daughter's stuff away and still leave room to move is my daily challenge! This would be a big help.

bsabel(at)hotmail(dot)com

Becca said...

We'll soon be moving from our house to an apartment for a year, so we'll need to take advantage of all the space we can. Unfortunately my daughter seems to have more stuff than my husband and I combined!

Susanne said...

I could use this for my son's room because his closet is so tiny! The plastic boxes I've been buying keep breaking on us. These zippered ones look very sturdy.

Colleen said...

My son's room is so small. This would help with storage a lot.

Lilith Silvermane said...

Daughter #2 is a teenager... AND she's an artist, so she has tons of old art, art supplies, etc. This would be a PERFEct place for her to keep these, get them out of the multitude of backpacks, etc that she has holding all of her stuff.

Jennifer said...

Plastic bins don't fit under the bed! This would be awesome for helping keep the room "more organized"!

Adena said...

I have two boys sharing a very small room. There is *no* storage space in there so I have to use drawers from a dresser in another room to help store their stuff! These would fit under their beds or on the top closet shelf. Ideal. And cute.

Shaina said...

This stuff is SO cute! My kiddos need it so I can continue storing all the 'stuff' they acquire on a regular basis from their (out-of-state, over-indulgent) grandparents! I swear I go to the goodwill once a month with bag full of toys or clothes...

Thanks

stampedwithgrace said...

these would be great under my kids bunk beds to help them get organized!!

melonkelli said...

My boys have started getting into dress up clothes and need a place to store them. Under the bed would be a great place!

rosie said...

i have 2 year old twins and a tiny apartment. it would be great to have a place to store some of the out of season clothes!

Jocelyn said...

We have a lot of open space with not nearly enough storage. Both of my kids could use these!!

jocelyn dot compton at gmail dot com

Andrea said...

We have no storage, everything is just everywhere. I could use this to get organized and have a place for things. Please enter me to win.

Kathleen W. said...

We live in a house built in 1903, so there is one closet upstairs. This would be great to put under the crib for blankets and bedding.

Stephanie said...

What a great product! Sometimes I think our house has been "taken over" by baby stuff and this little bag would help me get my daughter's room organized. I love that the bag comes with pre-printed labels...so handy!

Kristen Courter said...

This would be fantastic for baby's too-big fall clothes that we just got as hand-me-downs! Thanks!

Amy said...

One look at my daughter's MESSY room and you would see why she needs this!

nalunena said...

grat way to store clothes and get organized look pretty and neat

Miss Erica said...

My girl's dresser is already in her closet, and as she (and her clothes) grow up there is less and less room for storage. Her room just isn't big enough for toys AND clothes, so we need more storage room! These kangaroom things sound like a great solution. Thanks!

lyn21 said...

This would be great to help keep my daughter organized. If I can provide her with tools she might be able to do it with me.

Guate4Jack said...

I live in AZ and storage is a real problem. Scorpions get in to everything we try to store in the garage so inside storage is the only option. My son's closet is a mess and we need some help!!

Heather said...

This would be a great place to store my daughter's 'friends' -- she sleeps with one or two stuffed animals per night, and loses the others, so this would be a great hiding place for those whose turn is coming up.

thehuffs said...

We just have so much stuff with no home! these would be great!

jenniferhuff[at]gmail[dot]com

Jinxy & Me said...

These look so great. We are really short on storage and this would help utilize the underbed area AND keep it neat!

Brooke said...

We live in NYC - 2 kids to a small room with very little closet space and barely any storage. This is a TERRIFIC idea.

Kristin said...

Apartment living...that says it all!

Kristinia said...

We have limited space in my boy's rooms so this would be awesome to just tuck under their bed or in the closet, if not used for them it would be used for our baby girl, I'd be able to store some easy to access items for her after birth (socks, onesies, etc..) and I could have them nearby.

Alexia said...

My boys are 14 months apart so all of my older sons' clothes are passed down the the younger one. I don't have a storage spot for these clothes for the "between times" Under bed storage is a great idea!

Sandy M said...

We live in an apartment and my granddaughters leave so much stuff when they come. It would be great to store their goodies in til they come back again.

bison61 said...

we have little storage-I keep some clothes in garbage bags in the closet, this would be so handy

tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com

blueviolet said...

The closets in our home are so small--we have no walk-ins or even double doored closets so storage is a big issue. I think this would help if we took one category of item and stored it under the bed. It would free up so much space. For instance, if I took all of my daughter's crafts/supplies/works in progress, etc. and stored them under the bed it would make a huge difference. Not to mention that it would protect them from damage. This is a great idea and there really is a lot of unused space under beds!

Claire said...

this would be great for my son's room - right now all the clothes that no long or do not yet fit are in grocery bags falling out of the closet (an 24inch opening!). These would simplify, and make it safer for him to actually play in his room!

Tricia said...

My boys just got some bunk beds that have some storage area underneath...this would be great!

mccammacks(at)sbcglobal(dot)net

Sara DMS said...

My daughter is 8 months old and already has a huge collection of clothes that she doesn't fit into yet. I'd love to have a convenient way of storing the next size up so I can quickly see what needs to come out before she outgrows it!

Jessica N. Condatore said...

i'm so anal, please help me drive my boyfriend crazier.

peekab00 said...

i have 6month old twins... and we have sooo much clothes.. lol... and just not enough space.... not to mention that to save a little we've been taking advantage of buying out of season... lots of clothes to store..

Storm said...

We have soooo many clothes because I am insane and I buy ahead - this would be perfect to help organize some of the not-quite-there sizes!

Melissa, Ryan and Addy said...

We live in a small apartment and this would be great for storage!

Kathy said...

It keeps things contained in a much more attractive and efficient manner. My boys' room would be the best place for it.
