    Where do you store your pram?

    Wondering what I'm going to do with my pram over winter, I have it out all the time as I walk everywhere and don't use the car much these days. At the moment it's sitting in a spot in the dining room, but with the grass being damp of a morning now and it's only going to get worse with winter (mud!) I don't want that to be a permanent parking spot.

    Could put it on the front verandah but I don't want it to get pinched, not that there's a high likelyhood of that happening but I don't want to take the chance. There's a room next to the laundry which I could put it in if I clean it up a bit, but its right at the back of the house so I don't want to go traipsing stuff off the wheels all through the house to get to the front door. side verandah maybe? although I don't know how well protected it would be from the weather and i don't want it ruined in one season!

    Maybe I should just live with the bits of stuff getting tracked through the house?

    is your car at home all the time? i know my SIL used to fold it into the boot of her car while they were home

    another option is the shed if it's near the house

    I keep mine in my car. If I need it at home to go for a walk, then I just take it out. That way, I never forget it for when I drive somewhere.

    I keep one in the boot and the other lives in the garage. That's the one I use for walking so it's up permanently. It lives right next to the big red 'bus' - the bike trailer/jogging pram that gets used for both of them....

    I also store the pram in the car , that way i never have to worry about leaving it at home if i go out!
    Although having said that at the moment the pram is in bub's room with everything else (bubs not due for another 7 weeks) as i dont need it just yet.

    Until recently I kept mine in the car all the time. Now DD's getting too big for it so I'm trying to find some way of storing it long term in a way that bugs and spiders can't get to it easily so will be quite interested to see more responses as well.

    yep, another car keeper here too. alternatively ours is parked in the hallway, we just wipe the wheels down in winter if they get dirty.

    Ugh, I feel like I have prams everywhere and no where to put them! We have a lightweight one that we usually take to friends places for DS to sleep in while we're out. I usually keep that in the boot of my car cos its more compact. Problem is it has a wonky wheel and is a PITA for anything like shopping centres or long walks. So I have a bigger three wheeler for that which just takes up space in our informal dining area.

    We have lino in our rental house as you walk in the door. I leave mine just inside the door always put up. Either there or in the car. Soon as it cools down it will generally always be just inside the door ready to use daily.

    We keep ours in the car too, we have nowhere else to put it.. it is a PITA though when I'm doing the groceries because I always forget to take it out.
    We could keep it under the stairs but it's a whole lot of hassle getting it in & out...

    We have a stroller that stays in the boot of the car, and our Phil & Ted which lives in our ensuite (currently our storage area!) we take this one everywhere for walking and parks etc.

    We have our stroller in the back of our station wagon, and our Valco stored away in DS's wardrobe - never even considered when I brought it that it is HUGE and so, so hard to store somewhere! I did think about putting it in the shed but wasn't sure if it would get damp and possibly go moldly. (eww)

    usually in the car for me, schools only 2 doors down so DD2 walks with me there, we live over 20 kms from town so when DH is at work with the car i cant get anywhere anyway so i dont really need it when im at home.
    When we did live in Geelong I always used to back door with the pram, get both girls inside then fold the pram up and put it in the laundry

    Car isn't really an option, it lives out the back and I drive it maybe once a week to go to playgroup. We go out, either walking the dog or down the street at least once or twice a day so don't want to be getting it in and out of the car all the time.

    thanks for all your suggestions though, I think i might leave it in the spare room, which is right next to the front door, I'll just have to remember I've put it there because we never go in there. Lol

    I hear ya - If I had a dollar for every time I've had to squeeze the shopping into the around DS's car seat I'd be a rich woman!! LOL

    Yep, in the car.
    Well, we have two. One is a reversible handle one that was great until she turned one, and we have a lighter stroller type one (but still doesn't fold very small). they stroller-y one is in the car and the larger on is in the walk-in robe n our room.
