Lalo The Caddy vs KeaBabies Original 2.0 Diaper Caddy
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Diaper Caddies: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
Lalo The Caddy takes it because a rigid shell, a solid wood centre handle and removable dividers solve the three failures that retire most caddies: slumping, two handed lifting and unrecoverable spills. The KeaBabies Original 2.0 Diaper Caddy is the value runner up, with more space and eight side pockets for a budget tier price.
Lalo The Caddy
Buy itA rigid, wipe clean shell with a solid wood handle and two removable dividers, which is exactly what the category has been missing.
- Moulded ABS shell holds its shape when full and does not slump or bow
- Wipes out with a sponge and mild dish soap, so spills are recoverable
- Two removable beech dividers give three interior configurations
- Solid beech centre handle allows genuine one handed lifting
- Smallest footprint here at roughly 12 by 7.25 by 7.6 inches, so it holds a working supply rather than bulk stock
- No exterior pockets for creams, clippers or thermometers
- Manufacturer says do not submerge, so it is wipe clean rather than washable
KeaBabies Original 2.0 Diaper Caddy
Buy itThe value pick: structured felt, removable dividers and eight side pockets for a budget tier price.
- Roughly 13.2 by 10.5 by 7.2 inches, noticeably roomier than the rigid options
- Removable dividers let you reconfigure the interior
- Eight side pockets keep small items visible instead of buried
- Light enough to move dozens of times a day without thinking about it
- Hand wash or spot clean only, no machine wash and no dryer
- Felt walls soften and bow outward over time once overloaded
- Pale felt shows stains and picks up lint
