Trend Lab Northwoods Storage Caddy, Red/Tan

Received this product in good condition & found it to meet the product description. Excellent quality & design. I highly recommend this.

It keeps all my things organized!There are a total of 6 small pockets on 2 sides and 2 larger pockets on the other 2 sides. I use these pockets to hold: diaper rash cream, nasal drops, thermometer, nail clippers, Emory nail board, bib, rattle.In the main compartment, there is a removable divider. You can have either one large section or 3 sections. The divider attaches to the caddy with buttons and looped elastic bands.1 section holds about ~15 disposable diapers.1 section holds a toilet paper roll (cuts down on # of wipes used to clean up poop).1 section holds container of hand-made wipes (paper towels drenched in baby shampoo and baby oil).There is space to put more things, but that's all I need for my diaper caddy.1-19-2013 Update: It has been lasting since June 2011. It has been durable. Everything (buttons and elastic loops) have all remained intact. The caddy's stiff fabric walls are still upright and have not sagged. The cardboard separator insert is still working too, separating my wipes container from my burp cloths. No color fading, no tears, minimal wear overall. My only regret is that I wish I bought this caddy in a gender neutral color! The pink is gorgeous, but soon I'll be having a son. Seeing that my daughter became attached to the color pink at 4months old (only grabbing pink toys even now), I don't want to subconsciously cement this into my son's brain. Hey, doesn't have to be boy=blue and girl=pink, but I think a variety of colors is best. I should have bought this caddy in a green, blue, brown, or black pattern instead. Otherwise, I love this caddy and I think it has held up very well. I'm not gentle or rough with my things, so usually all my belongings tend to show a little wear after a couple years. I'm still pleased with this product. I would buy another Trend Lab caddy for my son, but $20 for a diaper caddy just seems too steep for me.Learn from my mistake: Buy this caddy (and other often used baby items) in a neutral color so you only need to buy ONE forever, regardless of the gender of your child.

The Good: I purchased this item for the purpose of holding all my scrap-booking tools when I am out at a retreat or class. It seems well made and the design is very nice. Handles and seams are strong. Good size for my use, and I would think it would work great for diapering supplies as well. Some say it is too small for this use, but when my child was in diapers, I had a tote w/ items in the living room and kept the bulk of diapering materials in his room. With the nice dividers I would think it would work great for this purpose and it would look stylish.The Bad: The buttons inside (used to attach the dividers) are not easy to use as they are very tiny. I had a hard time getting the dividers in place. Turning the item inside out helped. The buttons seemed very secure though and I did not feel that they would detach even though I was pulling pretty hard to button them on to the dividers. Also, the sides collapse in since they are cloth are not very rigid. If I don't have many things inside the tote, the items I put in the side pockets collapse in to the tote. However, I usually have it full, so not a big problem. It would also be nice if the bottom was rigid instead of cloth.All in All: I would recommend this item to others. I think it is stylish and well made.

My family has decided to take baby rearing to a more minimalist approach. So this is our diaper changing station!The fabric is thick and feels wonderful. The outside pockets are fairly tight against the main compartment, so a large container (like baby powder) won't fit in it. For me, this is a convenience rather than a hindrance. It works very well at keeping my little "sampler" lotion, diaper ointment, etc. in place, rather than falling out while I carry it around.There is an insert to help organize. I use this, and as far as size goes, I can fit about 4 cloth diapers on one side, about 10-12 disposables on the second, and the third fits one of those plastic diaper wipe dispensers quite nicely.I've used it for a couple months, and it's not as perfectly shaped as when I bought it. It's not "enforced", so it's not as rigid. I don't mind. It still looks nice and continues to perform it's duty.UPDATE: The buttons that hold the middle partitions are all broken now, so it's staying in place by my items giving it some support. The shape is slightly mushy as well now, so I took off a star. It still does everything I need it to, and I still use it after a year. The fabric is holding up well.

These work great as diaper caddies. We have two of them; one upstairs in the nursery, one downstairs easily accessible in the living room. They about two days worth of diapers easily as well as a wipe container. There is a third compartment in the main part of the caddy that can be used for other items like changing pads, or swaddle blankets. There are numerous pouches on the outside that come in handy for holding other useful items like diaper cream and individually sealed alcohol pads for cleaning the belly button/umbilical cord area when your little one first comes home.The downside is the way the divider is held in place on the inside of the main compartment. There are tiny elastic loops on the divider and tiny sewn on buttons on the caddy itself. The elastic straps loop around the buttons to keep the divider in place. We've had two of these button (one on each caddy) come off. We haven't taken the time to sew either back on because the divider seems to stay in place just fine when stuff is stored in the caddy. It just seems like they could make the stitching a little stronger given the price paid for the item. It still works well though even with the missing button so I've only taken off one star.

The actual height of the container is six inches, other dimensions are true (13"x9"). The microsuade fabric is very soft and nice, but it does not give much support for the walls to hold heavier tools in pockets. The handles are soft, too.I bought it for crochet projects and it serves the purpose very well, but only for small items. It won't hold a big sweater and long knitting needles won't stay there on their own. Forget about a long ruler or heavy scissors shown in one of the pictures. A scrapbook won't stay vertically either. However, I can keep a case of crochet hooks in one of the external side pockets and double pointed needles or small circular needles in the other. I keep measuring tape, yarn needles, stich markers and gauges.For a dark brown bag, brown buttons and brown elastic loops would be so much more elegant - white ones just seem out of place. However, unlike other reviewers stated, mine were sewn on properly and I hope they will hold up well. (Correction: one button fell off already, even though I did not try to remove the wall inserts.)Overall I like this container very much and I've been complemented many times. It is much more cozy than a real basket and you won't lose tiny items like safety pins or stitch markers even when kept loose inside.
