5 Exclusive Ideas to Store a BOB Stroller

Fit your BOB Stroller Directly in the Trunk                         

You might not know that a BOB Gear stroller can directly fit into the trunk of your car.  Cars like SUVs, wagons, and minivans have a deeper trunk base. This allows you to store your stroller along with your other travel essentials. Before storing your BOB Gear stroller, fold it and remove the tires. As BOB strollers are mostly running strollers, they got huge tires for a better grip on the track. That is why it is a must to remove these tires for easy storage.  After removing the wheels, lay your stroller flat on the base of your car trunk, and you are good to go.  To ensure your stroller doesn’t slip during a bumpy ride, lay a non-slip mat on the bottom for added security.

Store Your BOB Stroller in a Travel Bag

Another efficient way to store your BOB stroller is in a travel bag. A travel bag provides compact storage for your stroller and makes the place look more mess-free.  Not only that, but it also protects your stroller from scratches and any unnecessary damage caused by storing it in a tight place. The BOB Gear travel bag comes separately from the BOB gear stroller. It’s time-consuming to fold the stroller and fit it inside the bag. However, the added protection it offers to the stroller is still worth the effort.  First, remove the tires from the stroller and unfold them. Store the screws and hinges in the pocket of the travel bag, so you don’t lose them. This way, putting the tires back on when in need will be easier. Fit the tires inside the case in their designated spots, as the instructions show. Lastly, fit your stroller inside the bag and wrap it up with a safety strap to remain secure the entire ride. Both single and double BOB strollers fit perfectly in this bag. A travel bag like this also converts into roll-away luggage for flexibility.

Keep Your BOB Stroller in the Garage

Garages are also a great place to store your stroller. It’s quite a convenient spot for parents as you can grab and go with your stroller when in need.  If you have a spacious garage with enough space to spare, your BOB stroller can be stored without folding it for every use. This makes it ultra-convenient for parents, as folding a BOB Gear stroller is tricky. Install heavy-duty hooks on the wall if your garage doesn’t have a lot of space to store your stroller. Hanging up the stroller provides easy storage and an organized garage without any mess. A carport will work just fine for parents who don’t have a garage. Place your stroller on the shady side of the port so it doesn’t come in direct contact with the hot sun rays.

Use a Garden Shed to Store your BOB Stroller

A garden shed is great for storing all your plant essentials and works just as great for a BOB stroller. If your shed offers a large space, use it wisely to store your stroller.  Cover your stroller with protective gear to prevent bugs and molds from creeping into your kids’ safe ride. In this case, a travel bag will work great.                                     Worry not if you don’t have a garden shed in your house. A garden conservatory and greenhouse will work just as same.  The four-sided wall and roof of these sheds protect your stroller from all the heat and rain in your area.  And if you don’t have any of the options mentioned above, you can always store it in your backyard. Remember to cover your stroller in all cases, so your stroller is shielded from unwanted weather changes at all costs.

Keep your BOB Stroller Under the Stairs

A storage room under the stairs works great for storing your BOB stroller. The stairs are close enough to the front door, so it’s easy to access while leaving the house in a hurry. Before storing the stroller, remember to take out the tires and fold them, so they lie perfectly on the ground.  Most BOB strollers stand when folded, so try to lean your stroller on the wall. This way, you will save a lot of space for your other storage items. If you have a compact storage system under the stairs, hammer in two hooks for mess-free extra stroller storage.
