Planning ahead - What baby stuff do you have out in the lounge?

Just been speaking to my partner about some of the baby stuff we're going to get and where it's going to live in the house.

He reckons that we can store all of the things that will be out during the day (play mat, toys etc) in a cupboard every night. This cupboard has a large movable shoe rack and all the mops, broom etc at the front that need shifting every time you use the cupboard.

I think this is highly impractical and unlikely to happen every day. I think we should have somewhere easily accessible to store these bits and bobs but he moaned about the clutter and was a bit mean about me being untidy .

What do you guys think?! I think he is maybe a little bit naive about how easy this is all going to be! Where do you tend to store this kind of thing? Thanks x

2 yr old and we have a rocking horse, small chair, and a few toys around as well as a mat.

In the past we've had a rocking crib and a huge toy box. We had other things too like breast pumps, bottles, monitor etc. If you have a big house / a huge nursery it may be possible to contain everything in another room. Otherwise be prepared for a bit of chaos.
