best stroller hacks for baby and toddler

I think we can all agree on one thing when it comes to kids and storage…

There simply isn’t enough room… for anything!

Especially with strollers and prams as most are big and bulky.

So, with that in mind, I have spent hours researching all the best places you can store your stroller and save some much-needed space in your home.

There are also some clever storage hacks in here that I think you’ll love!

Let’s get started…

1. Car trunk

If there’s not enough room in your house or you live in an apartment then why not store your stroller in the trunk of your vehicle?

You can get some bungee cords and wrap them around the head and backrest and store your stroller upright saving room in your vehicle too.

2. Hang on the door

You can purchase some large durable door hooks, then you hang your stroller from your door, saving floor space.

This is a great idea for the utility room, garage, or basement doors. Over time your door will become scratched and dirty though!

3. Stroller shed tent

A bike tent can be used for storing away your stroller. If you don’t want the stroller in the house then this is a great option.

Just be careful of rust and damage over time or if the tent breaks or leaks. Another thing to consider is thieves would find it easy to get into.

4. Under the stairs

Along with car trunk this is where my stroller goes. There isn’t a huge amount of space under our stairs, but plenty of room for our stroller.

It’s extremely handy as it’s downstairs near the front and back door so we can quickly get out and on our walks.

5. Use a Moses basket stroller

If you are really struggling for space, then why not consider buying a stroller with a bassinet.

This way you get the best of both worlds and you can keep it in their bedroom. Bed at night, stroller in the day.

6. Bike Shed

A strong mental storage unit / shed will keep your stroller safe from both harsh weather and thieves.

Simply, open the door and wheel your stroller out, saving much-needed space in the house.

7. Garden Shed

A lot of my friends store their stroller in their garden shed, a convinent way to keep it hidden and out of the house.

However, storing your stroller in the garden shed you may be subject to damp, mold, and insects! So, not for me this one!

8. In the garage

where to store a stroller - store in the garage

If your garage is big enough then this is the perfect place to store your stroller. You could even buy some hooks and hang your stroller on the wall.

I’ve got a bad back and not very strong, so wall mounting is not for me, however, the garage is a great option.

9. Get a foldable stroller

One of our strollers is the BabyZen Yoyo, and it is simply amazing. If collpases and folds down to the size of a medium hangbag.

So, consider getting a smaller stroller, I can literally store this beauty anywhere and it doesn’t take up any room.

10. Use the baby room

Nobody wants a stroller sat in the middle of the front room or kitchen, so why not keep all the baby gear together in their room?

My son’s room isn’t really big enough for this, but if yours is this might be an option for consideration.

11. Conservatory

With direct access to the garden a convervatory could be a great place to store your stroller as it’s not somewhere you spend a lot of time in.

Just be wary of weather conditions in summer (very hot) and winter (very cold).

12. Carport

I wouldn’t use a carport for your strollers permant home, as your stroller with be subject to the seasonal weather conditions.

However, it’s a nice option to leave out for the day, it might be worth getting a bike lock for safety.

13. Front / back door

where to store a stroller - front and back door

Storing your stoller near the front or back door is more of a convenience option. Our hallway is pretty small so it would block getting in and out of the house.

If you have enough space, you could get some wall or door hooks too.

14. Greenhouse

If your greenhouse isn’t full or fruit and veg already then it might be a good place to store your stroller, allowing you more floor space in your house.

Keep in mind spiders might like to make your stroller their home along with other insects.

15. Nursery

Your nursery would be a great place to keep your stroller, especially if it’s big enough, and if it’s downstairs that’s an added bonus.

Your little one can go from playtime to walkies in no time.

16. Wardrobe

If your stroller is lightweight and foldable then why not store it in your wardrobe or downstairs storage cabinets.

Usually, stuff that gets put in the wardrobe never sees the light of day again, I would recommend keeping it at the front where it’s easily accessible.

17. Use a baby sling

You may not have enough room for a stroller in your house, therefore why not consider a baby sling as an alternative then when they’re older move to a lightweight stroller.

This way you save some money and floor space at the same time.

18. Basement

Out of sight, out of mind. Keeping your stroller in the basement keeps your house nice and tidy.

However, it just means carrying up and down the stairs then through the house every day. This one might be for when you have guests around.

19. Hallway

If you trust your neighbors and live in an apartment then you could leave your stroller in the hallway outside your door.

If you are thinking about this option then you should consider getting a bike lock to keep it secure.

20. In the garden

My final option and not one I’d use as a long term storage solution for your stroller is to buy a large stroller rain cover for outside.

Make sure you get a large cover that goes over the whole stroller to keep it completely dry.

Things to conisder

Here are some handy tips for you to consider to help you decide where best to store your stroller:

1. Security

Consider some security measures if you’re planning on leaving our stroller outdoors on in public.

2. Access

Don’t risk blocking doors, fire escapes, or access points, you can never be too safe especially with kids.

3. Stroller hacks

You can create simple and cost-effective storage solutions to help save space, such as door hooks.

4. Longevity

Will the chosen storage solution last? It might be best to get the best solution rather than the cheapest.

5. Location

Think carefully about where you will store your stroller especially outside or in a shed (mold etc).
