Traveling light when you have children is not always easy and is often impossible. Where to put the stroller? The folding bed? And the sunbed? ... A real headache! And if instead of embarrassing yourself systematically with all the equipment of your little one, you decide to rent them? The rental services of childcare equipment to facilitate the lives of parents are indeed booming. You would be wrong to deprive yourself of it !
How does it work ?
All you have to do is book the desired product on the website and define the rental period and the date of availability. You can rent equipment for a single day or several months depending on the site you choose. Once the reservation has been made, a rental contract is sent to you by email. It indicates the total price of the rental as well as the amount of the deposit which corresponds to the value of the rented equipment. Your product then awaits you at a pickup point or is delivered to you.
At what prices ?
Do you have to rent a bed or stroller for several weeks? No worries, prices are decreasing depending on the rental period. For a stroller, count for example between 30 and 50 euros for three days, and 40 to 55 euros for a week, depending on the chosen company. Remember to compare the different sites to find the best price. In addition to not offering the same products, some also pay shipping costs and others, no.
Which products are offered ?
Car seats, strollers, umbrella beds, high chairs, bathtubs ... A wide range of baby equipment is available for rent. Be aware that the equipment is of high quality and complies with European safety standards. Purchased new, they are all rented with the explanatory notices of installation. Some companies like Kidelio even cleans the equipment and disinfects the fixed parts with each restitution. A good point !
What advantages ?
Thanks to this service, you can have all the necessary material for a few days or several months, and this anywhere in France. In addition, some companies even offer the opportunity to rent equipment in one city and return it to another. Convenient !
Another important advantage is the saving of time. It is indeed undeniable that you will save time not to prepare and store all the baby stuff in the trunk of the car. This will also allow you to not make concessions and take (a little) more business for the rest of the family. Moreover, with this service, you will travel light if you take the train or plane, especially since the SNCF does not offer service to facilitate travel including a stroller. However, if you do not want to rent a car seat or a stroller, be aware that the majority of airlines offer free transport either on board or in the hold, a car seat per child. A cane stroller can also be carried at no extra cost. Good to know…
In addition to being particularly practical in case of forgetfulness, this rental service will delight grandparents who do not want / can buy or clutter with different items of childcare. In addition, these sites usually offer new products and brands, so you can test child care equipment before buying and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
