Baby gear rental by the month

Rent the bassinet, swing and stroller for the months you need them, then swap for the next stage.

Less waste Bundle upsells Fits gift registries

Babies outgrow gear in weeks. Parents spend a lot on items that sit in a closet after three months, and reselling them takes time.

This service rents clean, inspected baby gear by the month and swaps it as the child grows. Start with the ten most expensive short-use items, deliver locally, and sell stage bundles like "the first three months".

Why now?

Renting instead of owning is familiar from clothing and furniture, and parents are more open to second-hand gear when it's professionally cleaned.
