Things to Consider When Renting Toys

Activity Level

Consider your little one’s level of activity when searching through the list of toy offerings. Do they stay occupied for a long time with one activity or do they need many forms of stimulation? If you plan accordingly, they will stay entertained for hours!

Age Range

Rent individual play mats or soft toys for babies who can’t yet crawl and consider complete toy boxes and packages for toddlers and small children who need more options. Does the child love to read or look through picture books? If so, rent a stack of engaging books.

Multiple Children

Are you hosting a family gathering? Do you have multiple small children? If so, toy packages or larger play items are best (if you have the space). Consider a playhouse, fort and tunnel combo, a bin of Legos or a doll package. In other words, have enough items to entertain all of the kiddos!

Space Limitations

Will you be staying in a small hotel room, renting a full-sized house through Airbnb or HomeAway, or overnighting at a relative’s house? Keep in mind how much space you have for the toys you want to rent. Quality Providers offer a wide range of packages to suit every family’s playtime needs - big or small.

Seasons

BabyQuip QPs are very creative! They create all kinds of different packages for local activities and seasonal and holiday play. Check to see if the QP in your area offers packages that coordinate with a holiday or season that is happening during your trip.

Indoor Toys vs. Outdoor Toys

Toys aren’t just for the indoors! If grandkids are coming to visit and the weather is nice, rent outdoor toys like a wheely bug or a toddler basketball hoop. Everyone gets fresh air and burns off energy which is great for a good night’s sleep!

Toys Safety Tips for Babies

Choose age appropriate toys.

Do not allow children under eight years of age play with balloons.

Be cautious with electronic toys with disc batteries and/or magnets. They are a swallowing hazard.

If you store toys in a toy box, choose one without a lid or one with a lightweight, non-locking lid and ventilation holes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are toys and books cleaned before and after they are rented?

Yes! We require that all QPs meticulously clean all of their baby equipment, including all toys and books. Babies' immune systems are still developing and we understand that you as parents or grandparents rightfully expect clean, sanitized products. Toys and books are inspected and cleaned after every pickup and then inspected and lightly cleaned again before the next delivery. We recommend that QPs use organic or non-toxic cleaners. Inquire with your QP for specific products used.

What toys are best for my child?

When traveling we suggest you try to create familiar comforts of home while keeping things exciting. Add a toy or two to your reservation that is similar to something at home to make little ones feel comfortable. Adding a toy that your child doesn’t have at home is a great way to make them feel special. It also gives them a chance to try out a new toy that you may consider purchasing in the future. If reading a bedtime story is part of your child’s typical nighttime routine, rent a few books to keep the schedule similar to home.
