The decision to buy or lease a used stroller depends on how you intend to use it !
Although a stroller is an indispensable part of a parent's daily life, it can be bought second-hand or leased, depending on how you use it.
Here are a few points to help you make your decision :
Frequency of use: if you plan to use the stroller on a regular basis over a long period of time, buying used could be more cost-effective in the long term than renting. Turning to second-hand or used products will save you money and help the environment at the same time.
Duration of use: if you need the stroller for just a few days a year, for example for a family trip, a weekend getaway or a visit to the grandparents, renting is a practical and economical option.
The place of use: if you're going to a specific place with your child on vacation in the mountains or by the sea, renting an all-terrain stroller will be better suited to the location and will be safer for your child.
Storing a product for one-off use takes up space: no more accumulating products that take up space in your home. Renting will save you from cluttering up your garage or cellar!
Ultimately, the best option will depend on your use and personal circumstances. Carefully weigh up the pros and cons of each option to make the decision that's right for you.
Rental or second-hand prices can be very attractive!
If you use a stroller for just a few days a year, renting is considerably cheaper! A stroller suitable for a child from birth to 4 years of age will cost at least 60 euros; at FAMILIB, the 7-day rental rate is 38 euros. And don't forget that your stroller should be from a leading brand such as Maclaren or Ergobaby, so your baby is safe!
For everyday use, a second-hand stroller will cost you at least 50% less than a new one, depending on its condition. Be sure to check its condition and make sure it's functional: strollers can show signs of wear and tear over time!
By renting or buying second-hand, you consume in a more sensible way: it's good for our planet!
Inherited from the industrial revolution, our current economic model is based on a linear value chain: extract resources, use them to manufacture products, sell them, consume them and then throw them away. As resources become increasingly scarce and the volume of waste explodes, this model is under strain.
Today, another economic model is taking shape, one that is no longer linear but circular. A new economy has emerged, the economy of functionality, which consists in selling the use of a product rather than the product itself.
At FAMILIB, we believe that the economy of functionality will be the one we all use tomorrow! Our needs today are not the same as they were yesterday, so consumption based on use has a future.
When you buy second-hand or rent a stroller, you're making way for consumption that's more reasonable for our environment. Fewer products purchased means fewer resources consumed to produce them, and therefore less waste!
To consume better and more cheaply, depending on the circumstances, try renting or buying second-hand! Our planet and your budget will be protected.
