No. I think it is the opposite. You will be putting the toys in and they will be taking the toys out. Plus, the idea is you don’t have the floor space. A tall, slim cabinet gives you much more storage with a smaller footprint.
If you want additional storage in the space that the children can access, an ottoman styled coffee table is one idea - and it is the best coffee table to have with children. You can get one with storage. And you could also get a bench with storage to put in foyer. Good for sitting down, taking off shoes putting on shoes, etc. I thought about storage bench for in front of windows also, but I don’t like idea of children climbing, etc. in front of windows. But storage bench in foyer and ottoman in LR - the kids can have access to those, and much better than cabinets - no sharp edges, etc.
A couple of examples:
Storage bench.
