MetroTOTS StrollAway Stores Strollers in Tight Spaces
By Anna Levina Uy
Many parents don’t have the luxury of a large garage or spacious spot to accommodate all their family “wants,” so they quickly learn to focus on family “needs” instead. However, even storing necessities alone can be a real challenge in a studio or tiny apartment. For families with small children, a stroller is essential, but strollers can take up a lot of valuable room and add little aesthetic appeal to a stylish apartment. MetroTOTS understands this dilemma for urban dwellers living in small spaces, and offers the very necessary, one-and-only, StrollAway — an ingenious over-the-door storage solution that neatly tucks away bulky strollers. The StrollAway’s sleek frame is constructed of durable steel and adjusts to securely store most stroller models. This unique, over-the-door holder folds flush to the door when not in use, and does not mar the wood with screws. StrollAway is the brainchild of Mary Ann Schwanewede, a typical New Yorker who had storage space issues just like thousands of other moms living in crowded city apartments. Like most other brilliant ideas, her invention was born out of necessity. After hunting high and low, Mary Ann had found that baby gear stores do not sell storage devices for strollers. After years of research and experimentation, she finally came up with her own stroller storage device, the StrollAway, which retails for $39.99.
City folk were the first to discover and implement this clever stroller storage solution, but now parents in the ‘burbs are also clamoring for a StrollAway to hang strollers on their walls or in the garage. A version adapted to meet their needs will be introduced soon. A multi-stroller rack system, just what a big family needs, is also on the way.
