We spent hours researching suspension, adjustable handles, cup holders and car seat compatibility. And now that we are the proud owners of a brand new spanking stroller (two-plus months' worth of car payments later) we are fixed with a dilemma. Where in the world are we going to store this set of mini wheels?
Luckily, we don’t have to give up our savoured storage thanks to StrollAway by Metrotots (between the garage, front closet and vestibule…space seems to come at a premium). Created by an NYC mom, Mary Ann Schwanewede who knows a thing or two about a lack of square footage, this over-the-door stroller storage system ($70) is the answer to our Bugaboo/Quinny/Mutsy prayers.
No need for screws, this sturdy steel hook simply slides over any interior door providing the perfect place to hang our folded stroller. The spacer ensures that it fits over any door width, avoiding paint or wall damage. And best of all, it folds flush when not in use so out of sight, out of mind.
We may not be from the Big Apple, but our city kids certainly deserve a cosmopolitan ride.
