    Default prams...

    hi there, just wondering where you keep your prams....I have 2, one of them is a double one, so too big to have in the house and too wet outside.

    Thanks

    I'm lucky I have what used to be a coalshed and now is a very useful outhouse, a bit chilly but dry!

    Before that was dry... and less cobsomeoney, I used to use an outside store from B&Q - but it wasn't perfect and one buggy a while ago got a bit mildewed

    Over the years I have managed to collect 6 different buggy's/prams

    I keep them in my garage but they do get slightly damp so I cover them with a dustsheet which helps keep the damp/mildew off of them

    My daughters buggy is generally kept in the porch or the boot of my car. I have a double buggy that at the moment is in our spare room, but when i will be using it i am planning on again keeping it in the porch. Not enough room in there for them both though!

    I keep my double buggy in the boot of the car and my single one in a cupboard in the hallway ( in theory, when it's not cluttering up the hallway ).

    This is why I need porch doors. I have a double in the hall, a buggy and a pram in the kitchen and when A's mum comes I have another buggy in the hall. I used to put my buggy in the porch but some nicked it.

    We've just got one of those big plastic ouside sortage boxes from B & Q too. It's outside by the front door, and it's big enough for my single, double, and the spare car seat!!

    Working well at the moment, & easier than trying to get the double buggy from the cupboard under the stairs in the mornings when the kids don't move away from the front door as they're all arguing over who's going to open it...

    2 birds with 1 stone - buggys out the way & I open the door!! LOL!!!!

    We converted 2/3 of our garage into a den for the older kids. There is a sofabed, tv, ps2, xbox 360, out there.

    They are none too impressed by me now storing 1 x triple buggy, 1 x double buggy, 2 x c****ats and 2 x single buggys out there I think it spoils their street cred!

    I also have a single in the boot of the car!

    Ive got one of them. It probably would fit 2 buggys and a car seat - just. I have all my garden toys in it and it makes a good seat for the older kids. Never thought about putting prams in it though. Good idea.
