Outgrown jackets, baby clothes that don’t fit (yet), the travel crib you use twice a year, and those beautiful wooden toys you want to keep for future grandkids…
If you’re a parent, this probably sounds familiar.
Modern family life often means: not enough space for too many useful things.
But what if you could clear your home without getting rid of anything?
This guide helps you sort through all that stuff, explains what’s worth keeping — and shows you how to store it without turning your hallway into a second attic.
Why kids’ things pile up so fast
Let’s face it: Kids grow. Stuff doesn’t.
- Clothing fits for a few months — at best
- Toys “for later” are too nice to give away
- Baby gear is essential now, useless next month
- Sentimental items are impossible to toss
The result? Overflowing closets, stacked storage bins, and a constant need to shuffle things around. Especially in city apartments where storage space is limited.
What stays — and what stays out of the way (for now)
Here’s a list of typical items most families keep but rarely use daily:
- Clothes between sizes
- Baby gear (cribs, high chairs, carriers, etc.)
- Toys and keepsakes for future kids (or grandkids)
- Seasonal items like snowsuits, bikes, pool toys
- Sentimental things you don’t want to lend or leave behind
💡 These things matter — but they don’t need to live in your living room.
3 smart steps to reclaim your space
1. Sort by time, not just use
Ask: “Do we need this in the next 6 months?” If not, it can go into storage.
2. Pack and label clearly
Use sturdy boxes, vacuum bags, or storage totes. Mark each one with size, season, or child’s name — your future self will thank you.
3. Store offsite — the smart way
Your attic, garage or basement might be full (or not ideal). That’s where SaveSpace comes in.
