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!
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 be stored with care and efficiency. Clear, labeled boxes or storage bags help you keep track of your stuffed animals while protecting them from dust and dirt. A dedicated space in the children’s room or a secure storage unit like STORE ROOM offers the perfect solution to store soft toys and save space at the same time.

Storing baby clothes and baby toys
Storing baby clothes and toys takes careful planning to maximize space and protect precious items. At STORE ROOM, we know how important it is to preserve cherished memories while conserving resources.
Our modern storage units are the ideal solution for parents needing a safe and convenient place for unused baby items. Clearly labeled boxes and flexible long-term storage options help you stay organized while freeing up space at home.
With STORE ROOM, you can rest assured that your baby’s keepsakes are protected and cared for, making it easier to maintain a clutter-free and tidy home.
Storing children's clothing: what to look out for
When it comes to clothing, the decision is not always straightforward. As children grow and start caring about their appearance, outdated clothing should no longer be an option. For younger children, the decision is often easier since functionality outweighs style. Storing clothes is a good idea, but as they grow, it’s important to consider the child’s opinion and preferences as well.
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
Important items like baby carriages or child seats can be expensive, so storing them is definitely worthwhile. Safety should always be a top priority, just like with furniture. While a baby carriage from 15 years ago may no longer meet current safety standards, these products are usually very durable if properly cared for. Storing them carefully ensures they remain in good condition for future use or resale.
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.
