There is a misconception that only car rental agencies offer car seats to rent, that is not the case. These local baby gear rental companies tend to provide more selection at better rates.

Most offer every type of car seat for rent, and many offer both a budget and premium brands. You can choose the car seat type and brand that best fits your preference. Prices typically are $40 to $50 per week (Appx $6 a day).While rates depend on the length of the rental, commonly these services are half the price of those offered by car rental agencies. A big plus these companies disclose their cleaning process. They regularly check expiration dates and safety inspect car seats, and offer installation manuals with the rental. Additionally, many of these baby rental companies have CPS Technicians on staff. Finally, these baby equipment providers offer much more than just car seats.
Car Rental Agencies
Car seats normally can be rented from the same company that rent you a car. Although, there is no guarantee of availability. Nor do they guarantee the proper car seat for the age, weight and height of the child. Car rental employees rarely have any knowledge or experience with car seats. Many don’t even have installation manuals, so good luck if you need help.Also, there is no disclosure on how or how often these car seats are cleaned. It’s been widely reported by parents online that receiving expired car seats is common. Car rental agencies are in the business of renting cars, everything else is an accessory. When considering where to rent car seats, consider the provider’s primary business focus. Their car seats average $13 per day or a whopping $91 per week.
National Peer to Peer or “Uber-like” services
Recently, there has been a large up-tick in the number of this type of service. The premise being, rent car seats from a local parent. The concerns regarding this concept are terrifying. First, meeting up with a complete stranger that has signed up with an online website. Really? No background checks, no face to face interviews. Not registered to do business in the city. Just sign up and “poof” a trusted partner.Then the thought of listing their own used personal gear. No inspection of the rental equipment. Also, since these are individuals, rather than companies, they operate under the radar of local business registration and local tax authorities. Think about it, do you really want your child in a car seat that has been sitting next to a lawn mower in some stranger’s garage? If this is your only option at your destination for where to rent car seats; we suggest parents take your child’s car seat with you.

Crib History

Who knew cribs and baby beds could be political? Most people aren’t aware that baby goods manufacturers, just like most other industries, have lobbyists in Washington, DC who advocate for the manufacturers when the government is deciding laws and regulations. In the past decade we have seen sweeping changes regarding cribs in the US. Yes, the good old drop side crib has been banished. The drop side design itself is not the problem. Drop side cribs were the standard in the US since the 1940’s and it was common that cribs were handed down from one generation to the next. (more…)
