Baby Hangers
One of the most common uses for a hanger is to organize clothes in a closet. Clothes hangers come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the type of clothes they will be used for. Different styles and models of hangers are available for coats, shirts, pants, dresses, skirts etc. Hangers may be made of different materials as well, and are priced from very cheap to quite expensive.
What are Baby Hangers?
Baby clothes are, needless to say, very small. Due to this, adult clothes hangers would not serve well to hang up baby clothes. For the purpose of organizing a baby’s closet, specialized baby hangers are made. Evidently, these are small in size, but there are a lot more features that come with baby hangers.
Types of Baby Hangers
Baby hangers are small enough to carry baby clothes without them slipping off. Some of the types of hangers for babies are:
- Plastic Hangers: Baby clothes are very light in weight and do not require a heavy hanger such as a wooden one to hold them up. Light weight materials are more preferred for baby hangers. Wire is also an option, but it tends to rust easy and cause damage to clothes. Plastic hangers are great when it comes to baby clothes for their ease of use and durability.
- Sweater Hangers: Instead of folding baby woolens such as blankets, wraps and sweaters, which could cause damage to the clothes, you could use special hangers made for woolen clothing. These are shaped to hold the weight of wool and also do not cause any harm to the material.
- Caps and Booties Hangers: Tiny caps and booties form an important part of a baby’s apparel. These are hard to put away into a closet, especially when space is limited. Special baby hangers are available for this purpose as well. They come with a bar at the bottom of the hanger, with clips on them where socks, booties or caps may be attached and then hung in a closet.
- Decorative Hangers: There is really no limit to the kind of designs that can be incorporated into baby hangers. Painted plastic or wooden hangers with patterns of animals, flowers, and other bright objects are quite popular. Some plastic hangers come with interesting stickers of baby pictures. Vintage hangers with lovely designs are sometimes passed down generations in a family.
Purchasing Baby Hangers
If you are expecting a baby soon, it would be a good idea to include hangers in your shopping list before the baby comes. Baby hangers also make for a wonderful gift idea. It’s nice to bring a pretty set of hangers as a gift to a baby shower.
Hangers are available in most supermarkets, department stores and malls. Baby sized hangers could be easily found in these stores. You could go around a few different shops before you decide on the best ones. Alternatively, you could surf the internet for online stores that sell hangers.
