Hialeah is a robust Florida city of approximately 225,000 residents. It is known for its family-centered culture, which attracts many young families and young adults who plan to start families in the near future. It is a young city – the 2000 census found that close to 40 percent of the households in Hialeah contained children under the age of 18. For many young and soon-to-be families, Hialeah self-storage helps with transitioning through the changes that come with a growing family. If you have a baby, are expecting a baby, or you are planning to have a baby in the near future, think about the following ways self-storage can come in handy for a new parent. Baby Proofing Means Moving Dangerous Items into Storage Once a baby starts crawling, he or she can get into everything in your home. As a parent, you need to protect your baby by baby proofing the house and moving dangerous and breakable objects out of your baby’s reach. Once a child starts walking, he or she can reach even more items and potentially become injured or cause an accident. A few changes to make your home safe for a crawling or walking child are: Move all cleaning agents stored in ground-level cabinets to higher shelves and closets that lock; Remove heavy picture frames and other wall décor so these objects do not fall and hurt your child; and Moving any choking hazards, like refrigerator magnets, beyond baby’s reach. All the items you moved out of your baby’s reach can go into self-storage until you can safely bring them back into your home. Turning the Office into a Nursery Planning for a baby’s arrival often involves setting up a nursery. That means moving items out of your office, hobby room, exercise room, or guest room. These items can go into self-storage where you know they’ll be clean, safe, and waiting for you to bring them back home. Storage Needs Before and After Pregnancy If space is limited during your pregnancy, move items like non-maternity clothing into a self-storage unit to devote closet space to the clothes you need in those months. Once the baby arrives, the maternity clothes can go into storage until the next pregnancy. Other baby items that can go into storage until the next child arrives include a diaper genie, bottles, formula maker, baby bathtub, and nursery furniture.
