Toddler pant hangers?

[Mommy Of A Little Angel]

I can't seem to find them anywhere! I just want white plastic hangers for pants/skirts. Why do they only seem to make them in adult sizes?! I would use regular hangers, but skirts don't really like to stay folded over on them, kwim? Anyone know where to buy these?

I have yet to find them either! I just ask to take the ones from the stores that are willing to give them, and reuse them.

Maybe I am fantastically lazy, but I don't hang my kids pants, only their shirts. I just fold them in half (length wise) and stack them in one drawer, JUST for pants. Makes my life easier...

Old Navy used to always give me the hangers with baby clothes so I kept a bunch of the pant hangers. I also have some that I got at Wal-Mart a while back that are small enough, but they are much more bulky so I don't like them much.

I have resorted to buying them in bulk on ebay. HTH

I had the same problem until I found that you can buy packs of just the little plastic clip things that snap onto the plastic "tubular" hangers -- a couple of bucks for a 10 pack at WM or Target. Then snap them onto the kid-sized hangers.

But how is this for over-obsessed... I accidentally discovered that there are two different styles of the plastic tubular hangers that are nearly identical.
Type A has the "shoulder hooks" (where a shoulder strap is meant to go) on the OUTSIDE edge of the top part of the hanger, like a notch in the hanger itself.
Type B has the shoulder hook on the INSIDE edge of the top part of the hanger, like a separate little hook where you'd slide a shoulder strap.
The catch is, the Type A hangers are made from plastic that is a teensy tiny bit narrower than the Type B, and if you have the Type A, those snap-on pants clips slide annoyingly back and forth along the bottom bar of the hanger instead of staying where you put them, so the pants end up all shoved to one side and the hangers are all crooked and getting caught on one another.
OK, laugh if you will. I admit it is weird that I even noticed this, let alone got so irritated by it, but on the off chance that you are like I am, try to find the Type B hangers with the shoulder hooks on the INSIDE edge of the top of the hanger. Their extra thickness will keep the pants clips in place where you want them!

A few weeks back, when gymboree was doing their president's sale, I discovered that they were also selling wodden hangers for tops and pants in sets of 6 for $1.99. they honored the 20% coupon I had and I love them. You could call yours and see if they have any left.

I loved them so much that I called around and found more at gymbo's that shipped them to me but now I have about 6 packs of the pant/skirt hangers that don't even fit in my kids closets. PM me if you want me to send you a picture or if you are interested....I was wondering what I was going to do with them and they are in a pile in DD's room

They were wodden with nice metal clips for the skirts, one of the associates said that they were the old Janie and Jack hangers from the stores that were redone with new hangers.

Oh FYI. Don't know if Old Navy uses pants hangers for kids stuff or not, but they just throw away their hangers. So, if they have ones that you like you should just ask them if you can have them...

This is what we do. We have tons of kids sized hangers that I imagine I got at BRU.

Walmart sells toddler skirt hangers, all different colors, in packs of 3. I think they were 1.50 a pack.

Walmart and Target sell toddler sized hangers. That is where I have gotten pretty much all of mine.

Is it just me or has anyone else found that the plastic toddler hangers with the clips for pants/skirts to be less than ideal? The clip that hold the pants/skirts slide. I tried them but my girls' skirts/pants would just end up sliding to one side of the hanger making them bunch up and get wrinkled.

Don't worry, I'm over-obsessed too. I noticed the same thing. As a matter of fact, Target has 2 versions of the Type A plastic hangers for children--one is the Circo brand in the baby/toddler section, while the other is in the closet dept. along with the adult hangers. They're both the same size, but the Circo hangers are lighter and flimsier but cheaper. And on top of that, I think they've recently been re-designed (to be even flimsier maybe?). Okay, so how obsessed is that?

By the way, good tip about putting the clips on the Type B hangers--that thing where the pants/skirts slide all over the place, bothers me a lot too.

I bought a bunch of the clips to add to my regular hangers, too. And I save the hangers from Old Navy.

That's why I save the store hangers. The squeeze clips are fixed on each end.
