This Bathroom Caddy Solves Back-to-School Morning Chaos
There’s no chaos quite like the pre-school morning rush. When you’re trying to get a house full of children ready while preparing for work yourself, even the smallest delay can throw the whole day off course.
Starting the day in a panic rarely ends well. That’s why professional organizers recommend setting up individual morning caddies to organize a bathroom and prevent bottlenecks during the busiest part of the day.
These handy caddies from The Container Store keep each person’s morning essentials, from toothbrushes and toothpaste to hair ties and brushes, in one easy-to-grab place. There’s no more searching through drawers or arguing over missing items, making them a simple but effective way to streamline your morning routine.

Everything Organizer 3-Tier Cart Caddy
Designed to fit into the 3-tier rolling cart, this handy clear caddy can be used to collate an individuals bathroom essentials ready to grab and use first thing in the morning. They can also be used as standalones on shelves or vanities.
While the main focus may be on organizing your kid’s room for back-to-school success, there are plenty of spots around the house you can focus on to reduce friction. Organizing a bathroom vanity is a key spot, helping your children find exactly what they need without having to ask.
Not only does this help to instill a set routine, but it slowly introduces your child to chores, encouraging independence through small ‘wins.’ While that is happening, you can be enjoying your morning coffee or preparing breakfast.
The Container Store Caddy can help to corral each child’s morning essentials, from hair brushes and ties to toothbrushes and face wash. They are designed to slot neatly into the matching three-tier rolling cart for easy access, assigning each child a full or half shelf for their items, and keeping them within easy reach no matter their height.
Don’t have the cart, nor the space for one? Fret not; the flat base and easy carry handle mean the caddy can slot anywhere, from the shelf of a bathroom cabinet to neatly on the vanity. It’s a super simple addition that makes everyone’s mornings that little bit smoother, and all for under $13.
