Why rent your baby's necessities?

28 May 2019

When we talk about rentals, we think about renting cars, hotel rooms, reception areas, etc. but we never think of renting baby products for our children.

And why not ?

We tend to think that by renting we throw our money from the window, that we can come across anything and everything, that we will never find our standards of safety and security and hygiene etc.


We have a lot of reasons not to rent,

But reasons to rent? We also have plenty!


Reason number 1: Holidays!

By renting on the spot, we end up being able to travel without the hassle and the soared arms. We know that on our arrival, we will find our children’s bed or stroller or games ... and this will make our trip easier, simpler, less tiring and above all, it will free up space for us parents and our things ;) or even free up some space for other people if we are travelling by car (And why not offer carpooling to make a little money on holidays now that we have all this space?!)

By renting on site, we can also satisfy the wishes of the entire family.

The youngest will have their scooters and games to spend the day and have fun, the parents will find comfort with baby sleeping in his little bed next to them. Beach outings or picnics will no longer need extra planning to keep everyone busy and enjoying and you will not feel the time pass!


Reason number 2: The short duration of use of certain products! 

Babies, we wait for them 9 months and sometimes way more, we make sure that on their arrival they will miss nothing.

We want to pamper them, we want them to have it all, and we want the best for these little beings!

But in truth, we know very well that most of the things we bought are not necessities; we also know that some necessities are only needed for a few months and that we will have to get rid of them soon enough as babies grow up fast.

These products, by renting them, we not only save money but most importantly, we participate in the reduction of waste and mass consumption which is so bad for our pockets but especially for the planet. 

By renting products of short duration of use, we guarantee them a longer life and we participate in our way to the protection of our planet without realizing it!


Reason number 3: Cheaper!

Okay, is renting something for a week when you can buy it and keep it really the most economical solution?

Technically, sometimes it is cheaper to buy the game for the beach that your kid claims he wants so strongly than to rent it for the week.

But once the holidays are over, the time of departure is here and the suitcases are in place, who will volunteer to free up space to take back home this “well needed game” knowing that once at home it will end at the bottom of a closet or in the cellar or in the trash for lack of space and use?


Reason number 4: Granny has no space!

Children often come to spend a few days with grandparents, so we buy the whole panoply to avoid carrying everything on each trip! But when the grandchildren go back home, the grandparents must find space to store all these bulky items and dust them off from time to time!


Reason number 5: No need to share the bed!

Going to spend a weekend with friends or family or even at the house you rented for the occasion? You can all sleep peacefully now, parents and baby, to each their bed. After all, the holidays are made so parents can have some rest too!


Reason number 6: time to settle down!

A transfer, a move, a temporary job or seminar …? Sometimes we do not know what life has in store for us!

We must adapt and quickly! So, we rent everything on the spot, the time to get organized, settle down, and then bring our furniture (or not, if it's not for a long time, it's not worth it!), and by renting you have one less thing to worry about!


As you have seen, there are many reasons to buy, but there are plenty of reasons to rent as well!

So do not hesitate a second, plan your holidays or your travels on the Côte d'Azur and let Pony on Wheels take care of the rest!
