1st time parents? OVERWHELMED?

Don't know what to get?

If this is you, RENT BABY GEAR from us!

Many first time parents are unsure why they cannot just buy items, after all, they just want the best of their baby. So why do we advocate renting? What's the big deal?

The answer is very simple: most baby products will only be used for a few months. The baby will either get tired of it and loose complete interest -ouch!-or they will be too big or heavy for it - even more of a bummer.

Let’s take for instance the infant seats. 

All though the prescribed weight of an infant seat is from birth to 13 kg, in real life 90% of all babies are just too tall or too big for their seat around the age of 6 months. 

This is the kind of information you will never get when you are buying it at a store.

The infant seat bases are therefore also only used until 6 months. 

Not having a base for your seat is just not a good decision anymore.

The latest research suggests that 70% of all seats are incorrectly installed and that a having a base will help to prevent this. Once installed, you never have to do it again. 

If you have more than one vehicle it is a great idea to have a base for every car. 

Again, less hassle, time and installation mistakes. 

BUT having to buy two bases for such a short time can be very costly and therefore renting it makes so much sense.

PLUS, what they won't tell you at the shops is that you primarily buy a travel system because you need the infant seat from the start...but that's not to say the stroller or jogger that comes with it is going to work for you in a year's time. SHOCKER!
