About baby equipment hire
Babies grow out of almost everything long before it wears out. A Moses basket lasts a few months. A travel cot is needed for one week a year. A snowsuit fits for a single winter. Baby equipment hire lets parents borrow those things from other parents nearby and send them back once that stage has passed. Nothing goes in the loft, and nothing is bought twice.
Babies grow out of almost everything long before it wears out. A Moses basket lasts a few months. A travel cot is needed for one week a year. A snowsuit fits for a single winter. Baby equipment hire lets parents borrow those things from other parents nearby and send them back once that stage has passed. Nothing goes in the loft, and nothing is bought twice.
It comes into its own for visits and for travel. Grandparents hosting for a weekend can borrow a stair gate, a high chair and a cot rather than buy a second set of everything. Families flying to see relatives can hire a pushchair at the other end. And when your own baby has finished with the bouncer in the hallway, lending it out earns you 75% of the price you set.
Parents are lending to other parents here, which is why the checks matter. Everyone who hires has their identity verified before a first booking, and the Rentoodle Lender Guarantee covers every booking up to £30,000. Borrowers pay nothing beyond the lender's price and the one-time £2 identity check. Cots and prams usually change hands locally, and smaller items come by tracked delivery. Two days is the default minimum hire unless the listing says otherwise.

Baby equipment hire FAQs
How does baby equipment hire work on Rentoodle?
Choose the item and the dates you need it, then book. New hirers complete a one-time £2 identity check and pay no platform fee on top of the lender's price. The lender either posts the item by tracked delivery to arrive on your start date or arranges a local collection, which is often easier for prams and cots. You return it the same way at the end.
Can I check the condition before I take something?
Collecting locally is the best way to do that, and many parents who lend prefer it. You can see the item, check the straps, the fittings and the cleanliness, and ask the owner about its history. If you are booking delivery instead, message the lender first and ask for extra photographs or details about the model and its age before you commit to the dates.
What if something is damaged or does not come back?
Hirers are responsible for an item while it is with them and are liable for repair or replacement, so tell the lender as soon as a problem appears. Every booking is also covered by the Lender Guarantee up to £30,000, which protects the lender if a hirer does not put it right. Normal wear from ordinary use is expected rather than penalised.
