MetroTOTS StrollAway: The Stroller Storage Solution Review and Giveaway

As our family continues to gro, I am realizing that the house I once thought had a lot of storage, is not so spacious anymore. Between the strollers, tubs of clothes, and other gear, we are finding that the storage space we have is filling up quickly. Although this is an issue I'm sure many families face, I was looking for a solution to make storing some of this gear easier and make it more functional for us. That's when I came across MetroTOTS.

After the birth of her son Billy in 2004, Mary Ann found herself overwhelmed with a a lot of new baby gear in a very small apartment. As with many urban moms in particular, she found storing her new stroller to be the hardest. Wasn't there some sort of system to store the stroller? She asked at a baby gear store, and to her surprise there was no such thing. Mary Ann soon realized this was a storage issue that had not been addressed. And, with much time and research, MetroTOTS and The StrollAway were born!

Mary Ann was kind enough to send us a StrollAway to review.


Features/Benefits:

• Over the door storage system for most brands/models of foldable strollers.
• Made of durable steel
• Adjustable to 9 different positions
• Attractive chrome plate finish
• Arms fold flush to the door when not in use
  
• First and only storage solution for bulky strollers

Let's face it...strollers are probably one of the largest things to store. This is one thing that takes up much of the storage space our home offers. That's why I was really excited to have the opportunity to try out the StrollAway.

When it arrived I was immediately impressed with the quality. As their website says, it's made of very durable steel! This is great, because it lets me know that it will not only do what it is designed to do, but will hold up for a very long time. I couldn't wait to try it out...so I decided to hang it in our entry way closet. This is one of our larger closets, and as you can see from the following picture...had one of our strollers in it which took up a lot of useable floor space.

Hanging the StrollAway over the door couldn't have been easier. All I had to do was hook it over the top and it was done.



I then took our stroller and hung it on the two hooks. I wasn't sure how this would work, as this stroller in particular is fairly bulky, even when folded. To my surprise, it worked like a charm and hung there so well. Now I have a lot more space in the bottom of our closet for other gear that we previously had no space for. YAY!



It can even be folded flat against the door when not in use.


I have even found myself using the hooks to hang the diaper bag and jackets when the stroller is in the car or something. It's multi-functional which I think is great!

I'm very pleased with the quality and the overall idea of the StrollAway. It's great for those who live in smaller apartments especially, but also for those who are finding all of their storage options in the house filling up too! I would definitely recommend this product to any parent.
