A Helpful Guide to Storing Baby Stuff Between Babies

What to Do With All The Stuff Between Babies

Baby equipment such as cots, baby bouncers, prams, toys, and clothing can be quite a big investment. Because of this, it’s a good idea for parents who plan to have more babies to keep baby stuff to reuse with future babies. It’s not only financially savvy but also eco-friendly to reuse items rather than buying new whenever possible. But where do you put all these items when they are not in use? In this helpful guide for parents we’ll explore the topic of storing baby stuff between babies. Let’s get started!

Decide What to Keep

The first step in this process is to decide what to keep. Think about which items you enjoyed using with your baby and which things you did not. Put anything that you want to keep to one side and all the things that you wouldn’t want to use again to another side. Each baby is unique but you probably bought (or were given) some baby items that you didn’t find useful or user-friendly. This could be things like a pram that’s annoying to fold or that takes up too much space, a baby carrier that you find uncomfortable to wear, or impractical baby clothes with too many buttons, for example. Keep only items that you love or versatile items that you enjoyed using with your baby – everything else can go.

What to Do with Things You Don’t Want to Keep

Anything that is broken or unsafe should be recycled or discarded, but items that are in good condition can be useful for someone else. There are many options for passing things on to a new home:

• Donate to charity shops or women’s shelters
• Give away to friends, family, other people in your neighbourhood
• Offer items for free in local Facebook groups or on notice boards
• Sell higher value, good condition items on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, eBay, or Vinted

How to Store Baby Stuff that You Do Want to Keep

Once you have chosen what to keep for your next baby, it’s important to store these items correctly. Make sure that everything is clean and fully dry before packing it up. To stay organised, pack things up in storage boxes that are clearly labelled. This will help you find things when you need them next time around. It’s also a good idea to pack things up separated by when you’ll need them. You can categorise by clothing size, baby age, or season, for example. 

Larger items such as pushchairs and car seats are more difficult to store as they won’t fit in a plastic storage box. Ensure these kinds of items are cleaned before stored away and cover them up to protect them from dust and dirt, if possible.

If you have space in your own house for the baby stuff that you want to save for future babies, then you can store the items in your home. Just ensure that the space is cool and dry and away from direct sunlight.
