So, you start out by preparing a list with all the
essentials that you need to care for your baby, in the perfect way. You list
down lots of clothes, diapers, wipes, personal care products, health care
products and baby gear. You can definitely not compromise with the clothes and
other personal items for the babies. However, when it comes to baby gear, it is
definitely not important that you need to buy one right away.
Indian parents typically spend between 30,000 to 100,000
Rupees on baby gear alone. The Food & diaper costs close to 35,000 Rupees
annually and Vaccinations cost approx 40,000 Rupees.
In fact, if you ask the parents with grown up kids, they will
swear that kids tend to outgrow baby gear quite fast, rendering them useless. There
are so many items that a baby needs, Stroller, Gym, Car-seat, High Chair,
Walker, sterilizer, etc, etc. Also there might be times when your baby refuses
to sit or use the gear that you bought with so much of enthusiasm.
Wondering what to do? Well, you will be amazed to know that
there are online baby gear rental shops like Kinderent that offer a wide range of baby equipment on
rent. The rentals are inexpensive and start as low as 3% of gear cost on a monthly
basis. As a mom puts it, “I want the best for my baby. However, buying all the
gears can burn a hole in my pocket. Also, the fact that the little one may not
use these for an extended period and I might have to replace them time and
again gets me thinking. Thanks to the baby gear rental shops, I think I have
found the perfect solution to give my baby the best without worrying about
going over budget.”
Take a look at some other reasons that will definitely
convince you that renting baby gear is a smarter choice than buying them.
High Quality, Lower Cost
When you are looking for baby equipment, you just can’t buy
anything. You need to ensure that the gear is of high quality, comfortable and
safe for your baby. However, this means that you will have to dole out a lot of
money to buy one. A lot of parents invest in mediocre baby gear because the
high quality ones are just beyond their means. This is may not be a good idea
because by using low quality equipment you are actually putting your child’s
safety and comfort in jeopardy.
On the other hand, if you decide to rent baby gear, you will
find that you can choose to hire exactly what you need in the best quality and
at minimal cost.
Choices within Budget
How often have you lolled at a particular baby gear and
wanted to buy something similar for your little one? However, a sneak peek at
its price may put you off the idea completely. This is totally understandable
as you may be working around a budget.
If you choose to rent baby gear, you will be amazed that you
can actually get the preferred equipment for your darling, without burning a
hole in your pocket. What’s more, you may actually be presented with various
other choices that you may never have seen earlier.
Easy Replacement of Gear as
Child Grows
The bassinet, car seat and pram that you buy for your 3
month old baby will not be suitable for the child as he or she grows up. This means
that you need to bid these goodbyes and invest in newer gears. Yes I agree! We
drag on them a little while longer, But why?
You will have to eventually spend more money and upgrade the
gear, also can’t do without making space for the old one, until you can give it
away or sell it. Some of these gears are
very important for the smooth functioning of your nest and other gear come and
go. So, what do you do? Buy New and then give them away after using for a
couple of months and keep justifying the price? NO.
Why don’t you just go ahead and rent the gear, it is Zero
Hassle!
You can easily get it replaced with newer, bigger gear that suits
your child. You don’t have to burn a hole in your savings and also save the
effort of disposing or storing the old gear.
Clean and Hygienic Gear
It is a mental block to think of rented gear as unhygienic.
Most rental sites will deliver a cleaned/ treated gear that is fit to use right
from day one. The responsibility of maintaining the condition there-on until
you return is yours. So there is no reason to be nervous or worried.
Trials Made Easy
Imagine that you buy a rather expensive baby gear like a car
seat or a high chair, but your child is totally repelled by it. The little one
refuses to have anything to do with it. In such a scenario, what will you do?
You might be aware that gear once bought can be returned only as a credit note.
This would mean that your money is blocked and you have to make some
unnecessary purchases to balance out.
You can avoid this by renting the gear. Select a shorter
trial and save 90% of your money and enjoy the flexibility. It is an extremely
feasible option, as the cost is low and in case your child hates the equipment,
you can easily try a different item.
No Worries about Storage
Babies grow up surprisingly fast. So, by the time you
realize, your little one might have overgrown his pram or car seat you will now
have to buy a new one. But, then what will you do with the old gear? Save it
for your next child?
Saving may sound like a good idea NOW, but what if you
couldn’t store it well (it just spoiled) or it was outdated. Moms behave very differently with a new born
(even second time moms), you might choose to get something new. And there goes
the idea of saving down the drain!
Did you know that baby gear depreciates by 80% in a span of
2 years? This means you can recover only 20% of the price you paid.
Let’s not even start with the whole effort of selling and
co-coordinating with buyers and haggling. It is never an easy task.
However if you rent, you do not have to worry about the gear
when your baby outgrows it. You can get it replaced easily or return. And when
you plan a second baby you can rehire newer styles of baby gear for your little
darling.
Convenient Shopping &
Delivery
Going shopping for baby gear with the baby in tow can be
quite harrowing. You cannot spend hours in the aisle looking at the pros and
cons of each product and you just can’t settle for anything less. Thanks to the
baby gear rental shops who have realized this problem and come up with an ideal
solution. You can log on to the baby gear rental websites like Kinderent, browse through their selection of equipment
and choose the one that seems perfect. Once you order the gear and pay the rent,
it would be delivered to your doorsteps within a matter of days.
One of the best things about renting baby gear from online
stores is that some of these stores offer you customized packages that comprise
of all the essential equipment that your baby might need. You can find a travel
package, a bedroom package etc. This will definitely save you a lot of effort
and time along with money.
It definitely looks like a win win. Try it today!
