Amazon Basics Kids Toy Storage Organiser with 12 Plastic Bins
9.5/10 editorial
OUR TOP PICK
Why it made the list: Twelve lift-out bins at child height on a frame that anchors to the wall, so kids can sort and put away toys on their own.
Our editorial take: Amazon Basics 12-Bin Toy Organiser (editorial score 9.5/10)
If the toys in your house end up in one big heap, the Amazon Basics organiser gives everything its own bin. Twelve plastic bins sit on a low, open frame just under 80 cm tall, so even small children can see what’s where and put things back without help.
The listing says the frame is reinforced with metal dowels and anchors to the wall to stop it tipping, which matters with climbers in the house. The bins lift out, so a child can carry one to the play mat and bring it back. On our research, it’s the best all-rounder on this list for a busy family playroom.
What we like
- Twelve bins at child height, so kids can tidy up themselves
- Anti-tip wall anchor, according to the listing
- Bins lift out and carry to wherever they’re playing
Watch out for
- About 86 cm wide, so measure your wall first
- Bins are open, so toys stay on show
Verdict: Our editorial pick as the best all-rounder for a family playroom or bedroom.

How we score
Each product is scored out of 10. We weighed how easily children can tidy up on their own (child height, lift-out bins, light boxes), capacity, footprint, safety features (anti-tip fixings, rounded corners), build and value for money. Scores are editorial judgements based on desk research into manufacturer and retailer specifications. We have not tested these products hands-on, and our scores are not Amazon or retailer customer ratings. Best Budget is our editorial value pick at the time of research, not a guarantee that it is the cheapest option today.
