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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 are thinking about this option then you should consider getting a bike lock to keep it secure.
20. In the garden

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

Frequently asked questions
Here are some popular questions that keep getting asked in and around the stroller and parent community.
Hopefully, I will answer some of your questions below: –
Where can I store a double stroller?
If your doors are wide enough you may be able to hang your double stroller behind your door with a hook.
The most common size for an exterior doorway is approximately 36 inches, which all double strollers will fit through. Interior doorways range from 28 to 26 inches.
So make sure you measure your doors and your stroller to see if this is possible.
Other good places to store a double stroller include:
- Outdoor container or plastic storage shed
- Garage storage
- Keep in the trunk of your car
Where can I store a stroller in a small apartment?
If you have an apartment you may not have the necessary storage space to put a stroller or a double stroller. Therefore you need to get a little creative!
Why not try some of the following?
- Hang your stroller on the door with hooks
- Store under the bed
- Store in the trunk of your car
- Use a bike lock to store in the hallway
- Store on the balcony, if your apartment has one
Where is it best to store a stroller at my house?
There are many places you can store your stroller in your house to help you free up some of that all-important space.
My favorites include:
- Under the stairs
- Hang from doors with hooks
- Garage
- Utility room
Where can I store a stroller in my garden?
When storing your stroller in the garden you need to take into consideration the following:
- Weather conditions
- Correct ventilation
- Method of storage
- Security measures
With this in mind, I would recommend against storing your stroller in a shed or a greenhouse as your stroller may be subject to bugs and spiders. Another thing to consider is how secure your stroller will be left outside.
Therefore I would store your stroller in a hard plastic storage container with a strong safety lock.
