i think it would work great to hold diapers and such.  i would also like the idea of using one of the baskets for laundry, but that is just me.  i am obsessed with laundry baskets.  there are only 3 of us in this house, but you would think there are 10 of us with all of the laundry all of the time.  so anything i can use as a laundry basket, gets used.
