Muuto basket

Storage is the holy grail for the baby years, what with the tsunami of equipment that comes with every newborn and into the toddler years. No matter how restrained you try to be, it's just inevitable that there will be MOAR stuff.

The multi basket from Muuto would be a great defence against clutter. And it stands out against its competitors on two fronts.

One, it's soft: no anguished wails as baby knocks his uncoordinated head against a sharp corner. And two, it's gently sophisticated: you might even have bought this to store your own things in, pre-parenthood, right?

The multi basket comes in a variety of colours, but - and call us conservative if you will - we're drawn to the light grey and the dark grey.
