Toy storage in the self-storage
Storing toys: where to put Playmobil & Co.
According to analyses, parents in an average Viennese family spend around 135,000 euros raising a child to the age of 18. A significant portion of this cost is for material items such as toys, clothes, and furniture. If you already have children or are expecting another, you can save yourself and future generations considerable expenses by not discarding everything that is no longer needed. Storing toys, books, clothes, furniture, or baby carriages can help save substantial amounts of money and reduce unnecessary resource use. But when is it truly worth resisting the throwaway culture and choosing to store toys instead?
Toy is timeless, toy storage is advisable
Even though the toy industry continually unveils new and creative ideas for children’s entertainment, toys remain timeless at their core.
The main goal of toys is to nurture a child’s development, enhance motor skills, spark imagination, and provide parents with some respite. This is just as achievable with 20-year-old construction sets or 1990s toy cars as it is with the latest innovations. As long as the toys are in good condition, it’s worth holding onto them.
Who knows—some toys, like vintage Lego sets, may even turn into unexpected treasures and will be stored for a long time!

Storing children's clothing: what to look out for
Keep children's books in any case
Studies highlight that early reading and being read to are crucial for successful childhood development. Having a large collection of children’s books at home can support this growth effectively. However, with an average cost of €10-20 per book, building such a collection can represent a considerable investment.
Creating a “children’s library” that can be passed down through generations is a smart way to preserve these valuable resources. It not only saves money but also fosters a lasting love of reading, ensuring that future generations benefit from the same rich literary foundation.
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.
Baby carriages, child seats and co. have a long service life
Storing Playmobil: Is it worth it?
Playmobil sets provide hours of fun and often come with many small parts. Organized storage is crucial to keep sets complete and easily accessible. Use clear storage boxes or assortment boxes to keep the parts organized and protected. Labeling the boxes by theme or set makes it easier to find them when playing. STORE ROOM offers the perfect solution 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.
