One of our highest priorities is not falling. We see too many people, young and old, who suffer serious injuries from a fall. The older we get, the more we realize how that could wreck our quality of life. So we're always on the lookout for tripping or falling hazards, and we identified taking our laundry from the second-floor bedroom to the basement laundry room as something we needed to address.
Our old laundry basket is on the right below. It takes two hands to carry it, leaving none to hold the banister. After searching on Amazon, I found a great solution, the laundry basket on the left. It's made with a sturdy iron wire frame sewn into the top edges, which, when you stretch it out, will stand upright on its own. The handles make it easy to carry in one hand, leaving the other free to prevent falling.
I got a pack of two baskets for $12, a 40% discount off its normal price, at the link below.
