A new baby doesn’t just turn your heart upside down – it also reshuffles your entire home.
Strollers, changing tables, cribs, clothes, diapers, toys, maternity wear, memory boxes…
In short: you need space. Fast.
But what do you do with all the things you don’t need right now – but definitely will later?
That’s when many expectant parents turn to Google:
“Rent storage space,” “self storage for families,” “store furniture before moving.”
This article is for you.
We’ll walk you through everything families should know about storing items, how to estimate your storage needs – and how to avoid hauling boxes and drowning in chaos.
1. Store baby clothes smart – from 0 to 24 months
Baby clothes are often too adorable to give away and too pricey to buy all over again.
If you’re planning ahead for a second child, sort clothes by age (e.g. 0–6, 6–12, 12–24 months), wash and dry everything thoroughly, and store them in sturdy, dust-proof boxes.
💡 Include maternity wear while you’re at it – you might need it again sooner than you think.
2. Nursery furniture – keep, don’t toss
Cribs, changing tables, high chairs… they’re super useful, but kids outgrow them quickly.
If you want to keep them for later, here’s what to do:
- Clean and care for furniture before storing (e.g. oil wood surfaces)
- Disassemble and label everything – screws go in labeled bags taped to the matching part
- Cover with blankets or wrap – protects against scratches and moisture
3. Toys & keepsakes – pack with purpose
Toys pile up fast – and even faster with a second child on the way.
You don’t have to give them all away.
Tips:
- Clean everything before packing
- Remove batteries from anything electronic
- Avoid plastic bags – use boxes that stack easily
- Don’t overfill boxes – save your back (and your nerves)
4. Car seats, bouncers & more – store safely, don’t give away
Some items aren’t needed year-round, but they’re too valuable or useful to get rid of.
Car seats, for example, have an expiry date (around 6–8 years) – so store them safely, but don’t forget about them.
