Sizing & Fit
1. What size hangers are best for newborn clothes?
Hangers measuring around 10 inches are ideal for newborn clothing, ensuring a proper fit without stretching and damaging the fabric. Grohangers’ start at this width (26.5 cm) AND uniquely extend right out to 41cm (16.2 inches) unlike any other extendable hanger in the WORLD, meaning its the only baby hanger and only extendable hanger that isn’t outgrown. Note that the other extendable hangers start at 29cm (11.41 inches)and only expand to 37cm (14.5 inches) so are too large for Newborn size and too small for large teens and adult sizes. Note also that the trouser bar is very limited on these hangers unlike the Grohanger that offers a full size trouser bar and with the clips too.
2. Are toddler hangers suitable for baby clothes?
Generally, toddler hangers are larger than baby hangers and may stretch or misshape infant garments. It’s best to use appropriately sized baby hangers for newborn clothes. Sadly for ALL hangers except the Grohanger this means buying twice which not only wastes money but also creates even more plastic waste.
3. Do hangers labeled “kids” fit infant clothing properly?
“Kids” hangers are typically designed for older children’s clothing and may be too large for infant garments, potentially causing stretching or deformation and means spending more money on hangers and creating more waste plastic.
4. Will using adult-sized hangers stretch out baby clothes?
Yes, adult-sized hangers are too wide for baby clothes and can stretch out the shoulders or necklines of small garments. UNLESS you buy the Grohanger which starts at newborn size and GROWS to full adult size.
5. What’s the difference between baby, toddler, and kids hangers?
Baby hangers are approximately 10 inches wide, toddler hangers around 11-12 inches, and kids hangers about 13-14 inches. The size increases to accommodate the growing dimensions of children’s clothing. So imagine how much plastic waste this creates as well as expense. Grohangers solve this problem so you always have the right size hanger, even when your kids leave home!
6. Are there adjustable hangers that grow with my child?
Yes, products like the GROHANGER Extendable Space Saving Baby Hangers with Clips GROHANGER Extendable Space Saving Baby Hangers with Clips are designed to adjust in size, accommodating clothing from infancy through childhood and right into adulthood. Other Adjustable Hangers start off too big for newborn size and don’t expand to full adult size which means you end up discarded them and creating waste and then buying more hangers. The larger starting size is really to big for newborn baby size.
7. How do I choose hangers that won’t deform small garments?
Opt for hangers specifically sized for baby clothes that are not larger than 26 cm (10 inches) with smooth edges to prevent stretching or damage.
8. Are there specific hangers for preemie-sized clothing?
While specialized preemie hangers are less common, some baby hangers are designed to accommodate smaller sizes. It’s essential to check the product dimensions to ensure a proper fit. Grohangers are also suitable for these small sizes unlike other generic kids hangers and adjustable hangers.
9. Do I need different hangers as my child grows?
Yes, as your child grows, their clothing sizes increase, necessitating larger hangers to maintain proper garment shape and organization. Well this means more cost and more waste as you buy more hangers and thrown away the old ones. Not brilliant for your baby’s future. Grohangers “GROW” with your child thus preventing extra expense and unnecessary waste.
10. Are there hangers designed for both tops and bottoms?
Yes, some hangers come with clips or hooks, allowing you to hang matching tops and bottoms together, which is convenient for organizing outfits. Grohangers are perfect for this and cater for outfits either using the jaws or clips as well as offering the space saving hooks meaning you can keep sets and outfits together and remain organised.

🛒 Purchasing Decisions
11. Are baby hangers worth buying, or can I use regular ones?
Baby hangers are specifically designed to fit infant clothing, preventing stretching and maintaining garment shape. Using regular-sized hangers can deform baby clothes. Grohangers overcome this issue.
12. How many hangers do I need for a newborn’s wardrobe?
The number varies based on your baby’s wardrobe size, but starting with 30-40 hangers is generally sufficient for organizing newborn clothes. At Grohanger nearly all of our customers end up buying an average of 60 hangers per child.
13. Should I invest in specialty hangers for baby clothes?
Investing in specialty baby hangers can help maintain the condition of delicate infant garments and keep the closet organized. Grohangers tick all the boxes here and prevent plastic waste.
14. Are there affordable yet durable options available?
Yes, there are budget-friendly baby hangers made from durable materials like plastic or wood that offer longevity without a high cost. If you compare the cost of Grohangers (which fit everything at every stage) with the cost of double buying regular hangers, clip hangers and space savers buying Grohangers actually saves you over 20% in costs and create ZERO waste. Other extendable hangers offer limited size adjustability so are too large for new born and don’t fit adult clothes and end up being thrown away when your child grows out of them.
15. Can I find eco-friendly or sustainable baby hangers?
Absolutely. Look carefully at what is really sustainable and what is marketed as sustainable. If you think about the cardboard baby hangers they still end up in landfill so you have to replace them. The same is true of baby and kids wood hangers that are always outgrown. Our research shows that using safe certified recycled plastic is the most sustainable option. Grohangers are made from 100% safe certified recycled plastic and as they never have to be thrown away, independent research confirms that they are by far the most sustainable solution when it comes to baby hangers.
16. Are there hangers that prevent clothes from slipping off?
Yes, non-slip hangers with velvet or rubberized surfaces help keep clothes securely in place. The Grohanger design does not use this non slip coating as the arms extend so clothes don’t fall off, like other baby and kids hangers that become outgrown.
17. Do any hangers come with built-in clips for sets?
Some baby hangers feature built-in clips, allowing you to hang matching sets together, which is convenient for outfit organization. The standard set of 18 Grohangers not only have 6 hangers with clips but also every hanger has a jaw design so you can hang baby and toddler bottoms on every anger even without the clips. This unique feature is only available on the Grohanger. Unless you buy baby or kids clip hanger other baby and kids hanger sets mainly don’t come with clips. It’s also relevant to look at the cost of buying additional clips hangers which are much more expensive than standard tops baby and kids hangers.
18. Where can I buy quality baby hangers online?
Quality baby hangers are available on various online platforms, including Amazon, Walmart, and specialty baby stores and of course at Grohanger.com
19. Are there bulk purchase options for baby hangers?
Yes, many retailers offer bulk packs of baby hangers, which can be more cost-effective for organizing larger wardrobes. Grohanger offers bulk purchase sets where you can save money and we believe we are the only company in the UK offering potential customer a free Grohanger to try before buying a larger set.
20. What are the best brands for baby and kids hangers?
Apart from Amazon basics and a few others Grohangers have been sold in the UK and globally for over 20 years and offer a lifetime guarantee and excellent customer service. Grohangers are design for LIFE and to pass down generations.

🧼 Care & Maintenance
21. How do I clean and sanitize baby hangers?
Most plastic and metal hangers can be wiped down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wooden hangers should be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth to prevent damage.
22. Are plastic or wooden hangers better for longevity?
Both materials are durable, but plastic hangers are generally more resistant to moisture, while wooden hangers offer a sturdier option for heavier garments. The Grohanger design offers a very sturdy option also and offers a unique Lifetime Guarantee.
23. Do velvet hangers shed fibers onto clothes?
High-quality velvet hangers typically do not shed. However, lower-quality versions may leave fibers on clothing, so it’s essential to choose reputable brands. Also it’s reported that these velvet hangers are almost too sticky and make it frustrating to hanger and position garments easily and make it difficult to take out the hanger also. Grohangers do nit include non slip as the arms expand to all sizes so the clothes don’t slip off as the child grows.
24. Can hangers be recycled or repurposed?
Plastic hangers can often be recycled, depending on local recycling programs. Wooden hangers can be repurposed for DIY projects or donated. BUT the reality is only 20% of the 8 BILLION hangers produce each year are recycled. And even when they are this process requires more energy, creating more carbon and pollution. So it’s much better to opt for a Grohanger that once it’s made it doesn’t need recycling as it can be passed down generations and fits your kids for the whole off their life.
25. How do I prevent hangers from leaving marks on clothes?
Using padded or contoured hangers can help prevent shoulder bumps and marks on delicate fabrics.
26. Are there hangers that are safe for delicate fabrics?
Yes, padded or velvet-covered hangers are gentle on delicate fabrics, reducing the risk of snags or stretching. Grohanger extending arms mean that the hanger ALWAYS fits the garment this preventing these unsightly bumps in the shoulder area.

Organize by size, type, or season. Using dividers or labeled hangers can help maintain order. Grohangers enable you to keep outfits, sets and tops or bottoms together to brilliant organization and time saving when looking for clothes.

Slim, non-slip hangers or multi-tiered hangers can maximize space in compact closets. Grohangers offer the space saving hook so allowing you to triple your closet space. Also the death of Grohangers is slim ensuring the most efficient clothes storage and retrieval.
34. How do I organize clothes by size or season?
Use size dividers on the closet rod or label hangers to separate clothing by size or season. Again Grohangers make this process so easy.
35. Are there color-coded hangers for better organization?
Yes, color-coded hangers can help differentiate sizes, seasons, or types of clothing for easy identification. Grohanger believes that having the right size hanger that fits and offers jaws, clips and stacking is far better than using colour coded hangers which often seem to get into a muddle when one colour runs out as kids grown and the hangers no longer fit.
36. Can I use hangers to display outfits for the week?
Absolutely. Planning outfits and hanging them in order can streamline morning routines. Again Grohangers make this process incredibly easy and save tons of time.

39. Are there multi-tiered hangers for baby clothes?
Yes, multi-tiered hangers allow you to hang multiple garments vertically, saving space. Grohangers offer this feature.
40. Can hangers be used to organize accessories like hats or bibs?
Hangers with clips or hooks can effectively organize accessories, keeping them visible and accessible. Grohanger with the virus clip points and jaws are great for hanging all kinds of accessories, including hats, bibs and gloves. We believe we have the only solution that offers the facility to hang a complete set on one hanger using the centre clip for a hat /gloves and potentially 4 other clipping points for other parts of the set.

41. Are there hangers that are safe for teething babies?
While some products incorporate teething-safe materials, it’s essential to ensure that hangers are kept out of reach to prevent choking hazards.

The British Grohanger design shows children that products can last their whole life and reduces the waste they will have to clear up in the future from the billions of discarded outgrown baby and kids hangers each year. Also, we believe it encourages them to hang up their clothes as they don’t end up with hangers that don’t fit which results in clothes falling on the floor creating frustration.
