Toy storage in the self-storage
Storing toys: where to put Playmobil & Co.
According to analyses, the parents of an average Viennese family invest around 135,000 euros by the time their child reaches the age of 18. A large part of this expenditure goes on material things such as toys, clothes and furniture. If you already have children or are waiting for the next one, you can save future generations of parents or yourself considerable costs by not throwing away everything that is no longer needed. Storing toys, books, clothes, furniture or the baby carriage can save huge amounts of money and prevent unnecessary use of resources. But when is it really worth defying our throwaway society and opting for toy storage?
Toy is timeless, toy storage is advisable
Even though the toy industry comes up with new and unusual ideas for children’s entertainment every week, toys remain essentially timeless.
The main purpose of toys is to develop a child’s mind and motor skills, stimulate the imagination and give parents a break. This works just as well with 20-year-old construction sets and toy cars from the 1990s as it does with the latest trends. As long as the toys are in good condition, keep them!
And who knows, sometimes toys that have been stored for a long time, such as old Lego sets, can even become unexpected treasures.
Storing baby clothes and baby toys
Storing baby clothes and baby toys requires special care and planning to make efficient use of limited space and keep items safe. At STORE ROOM, we understand the importance of preserving memories and conserving resources. Our modern storage units offer the ideal solution for parents looking for safe and accessible storage for baby items that are no longer needed. With clear and labeled boxes and the option of long-term storage, we help to keep track of things and free up space in the home. With STORE ROOM, you can be sure that your baby’s keepsakes are in good hands, while at the same time contributing to a tidy home.
Keep children's books in any case
Studies have shown that early reading and being read to lays the foundation for successful early childhood development. It is therefore advisable to have an extensive collection of children’s books at home. With an average price of €10-20 per book, this quickly adds up to a considerable sum. It would therefore make sense to build up a “children’s library” that is passed on from generation to generation.
Only store children's furniture in good condition
Children naturally need their own furniture, ranging from cribs in different sizes to chairs and tables. The furniture in the children’s room therefore changes every few years, which puts a real strain on the wallet. When the child gets too big for certain furniture, it is definitely worth keeping it. However, especially for furniture where safety plays a role, such as armchairs or bunk beds, it is important to ensure that they are still in good condition.
Storing children's clothing: what to look out for
When it comes to clothing, the issue is not always clear-cut. As soon as children reach an age where they value their appearance, they should no longer be put into outdated clothing. With small children, the decision is often easier, as the functionality of the clothes is more important than their appearance. Storing clothes is definitely a good idea, but the child’s opinion should also be taken into account.
Baby carriages, child seats and co. have a long service life
Important items such as baby carriages or child seats for the car can be expensive, so it’s definitely worth storing them. Safety should be a top priority here, similar to furniture. A baby carriage from 15 years ago may no longer meet current safety standards, but with careful care such products are usually very durable.
Soft toy storage: an emotional topic
Stuffed animals are often more than just toys – they are loyal childhood companions and collector’s items. They should therefore be stored lovingly and efficiently. Clear, labelled boxes or storage bags allow you to keep track of your stuffed animals and protect them from dust and dirt. A special area in the children’s room or a dedicated space in a secure storage unit such as STORE ROOM helps to store the soft toys and save space at the same time.
Storing Playmobil: Is it worth it?
Playmobil sets provide hours of playtime fun and often come with many small parts. Organised Playmobil storage is therefore crucial to keep sets complete and easily accessible. Use clear storage boxes or assortment boxes to keep the different parts organised and protected. Labelling the boxes by theme or set makes it easier to find them when playing. STORE ROOM offers you the opportunity to store Playmobil collections safely for the long term without taking up valuable space at home.
More space in the children's room thanks to clever toy storage
Space is often at a premium in children’s rooms, especially when it comes to storing toys. Many parents know how quickly toys accumulate and overtax the available space. A self-storage unit from STORE ROOM offers an ideal solution here. The ability to safely store seasonal or less-used toys outside the home keeps the children’s room tidy and functional. This makes toy storage in the children’s room more efficient and allows children to concentrate better on their games without being surrounded by excessive toys.
The possibilities for storing things for future generations are many and varied and can be expanded even further. This not only helps financially, but also ecologically in line with the new zeitgeist. When space at home becomes tight, old children’s things are also in safe hands at STORE ROOM for the next generation.
