Baby and Nursery Equipment Storage in London

Q: How Should I Store a Cot for Future Use?

Take the cot apart, keep the fixings together in a labelled bag, and make sure every piece is clean and fully dry before it's packed away, since a cot stored damp can develop mould. It then needs somewhere dry and stable to sit, not a cold loft or a garden shed. With JamStorage, we collect the cot from your door and keep it in a secure, sealed Jam Pod, so finding that dry space isn't something you have to sort out yourself.

Q: What Is the Best Way to Store a Pram if I Don't Have a Garage or Driveway?

Without a garage or driveway, many London parents end up keeping the pram in the car boot, or improvising with a garden shed, an over-door hook or an outdoor cover. The catch is that sheds, balconies and covers are rarely reliably dry, and a pram left somewhere damp over winter can develop mould, rust and perished fabric within weeks. The more dependable option is proper dry storage. We collect your pram from your door, keep it somewhere genuinely dry, and bring it back when you need it.

Q: Can I Get Individual Items Like the Cot or Pram Back Without Collecting Everything?

Yes. You can ask for just one or two items back at a time rather than having everything returned at once. Because we log what you store on an inventory, you can request the cot, the pram or the highchair by name, and we'll bring only those items back to your door. The rest stays safely in storage until you want it.

We collect. We store. We return.

If you’re expecting or planning a second baby, the gear from your first is worth holding onto. The cot, the pram, the highchair and the nursery furniture are bulky, expensive to replace and often hard to part with, but keeping them means finding room you probably don’t have. Baby equipment storage with JamStorage gives you somewhere to put it all. We collect everything from your door, look after it, and bring each item back when you ask for it by name. There’s nothing to visit and nothing to rummage through, just the cot and the pram coming home when you’re ready for them.

No van hire. No heavy lifting. No hassle.

What Baby and Nursery Equipment We Store

Whether it’s a single pram or a whole nursery’s worth of furniture, we can store it. The items parents most often keep between children include:

Cots and cot beds
Prams, pushchairs and travel systems
Highchairs
Moses baskets and baby baths
Nursery furniture like changing units and wardrobes
Baby monitors and similar nursery equipment

These are the things you’ll want back as a set one day, or one piece at a time, so we treat them that way. When the next baby is on the way, you ask for the cot or the pram by name and we bring it back. There’s no need to remember exactly what went into storage, or to sort through boxes to find it.

Larger nursery furniture is covered by our furniture storage, and you can see the full range of things we look after on our items we store hub.

Why Store Instead of Selling or Squeezing It In

Storing nursery gear rather than selling it makes sense for a few reasons. It’s bulky, it’s expensive to buy all over again, and it’s often tied to your first child in a way that makes it genuinely hard to let go. Selling the cot and the pram now, only to rebuy everything in a year or two, rarely adds up.

The harder question is where to keep it. Many London homes have no driveway, no garage and no dry loft, so the obvious storage spots simply aren’t there. So people improvise, and that’s usually where things go wrong. A pram pushed into a garden shed or left under an outdoor cover is exposed to damp and cold, and over a winter that can mean mould, rust and perished fabric. Keeping it in the car boot only works if you’ve got a car, and it takes up space you use every day.

It’s the same thinking behind our decluttering storage: you hold onto the things you’re not ready to part with, without giving up a room to them. The difference here is that you’re keeping the gear for a reason, ready for when it’s needed again.

How Collection and Delivery Works for Bulky Nursery Items

JamStorage collects your baby and nursery equipment from your door, stores it in a secure, sealed Jam Pod, and brings each item back when you ask for it by name. There’s no facility to visit, and you can have the cot or the pram back on its own.

There’s no van to hire either. A free van comes with both the collection and the return, and the loading is handled for you, so you won’t be carrying a cot or a folded travel system down three flights of stairs. Our team arrives in a small van, so parking on collection day is rarely complicated.

When your things go into storage, we log them on an inventory. That record is what lets you ask for the cot, the pram or the highchair back by name later, without having to remember exactly what you packed away. When the next baby is on the way, you can have everything brought back in one go, or just one or two pieces at a time if that suits you better.

A growing family often means a bigger home. If a move is part of your plans, our house move storage covers the in-between period, and moving with children has more on managing the day itself with little ones around.

Preparing Baby Equipment for Storage

A little preparation keeps everything in good condition while it’s away. The main rule is simple: items should be clean and completely dry before they’re stored, especially anything that holds moisture like a baby bath or pram fabric, because putting something away damp is the quickest way to invite mould. Take the batteries out of monitors, mobiles and other electrical bits so they can’t leak. For flatpack nursery furniture, photograph it before you take it apart and keep the fixings together in a labelled bag, so putting it back together is straightforward later.

It’s also worth thinking ahead about what you’ll actually reuse. The NCT’s guidance on reusing baby items is a helpful reference: it flags a small increased SIDS risk from certain reused mattresses and suggests checking cots, pushchairs and highchairs for wear before they go back into use. Baby car seats are worth a particular thought. They carry no fixed legal expiry in the UK, though manufacturers commonly recommend replacing them after around five years, It’s worth weighing that up before storing a seat rather than replacing it nearer the time.

The hardest part of all this is usually finding somewhere dry and safe to keep everything, and that’s the part we take off your hands. You get the items ready, we collect them from your door and keep them somewhere genuinely dry until you need them again.
