How can I avoid ironing clothes?

I'm not very knowledgeable about housework so hence this maybe a silly question.... I hate ironing and have always actively tried to avoid it, pretty successfully! I now have a toddler and a husband whose laundry I do (we share the chores but laundry is my area).

We use a washer/dryer and also don't have a garden.

Since baby stopped wearing onesies and started wearing normal clothes it not as simple as just tumble drying everything.

How do I avoid ironing things like:
t-shirts
Shirts
Chino type trousers?

Not sure if I'm missing a trick?

I hang things on radiators and bang them when they come out of the washing machine to try to remove crumples, but prefer to dry them in the machine where possible.

Is there any anti-iron solution I can add to the machine, or a better setting on the dryer?

'Twas on the pages of this august site that I first learned about " camping ironing". Spread your clothes flat and sit on them while you watch the telly.

Handily, a very good way to make use of the big bum you got from watching too much telly.
