Rent Toys from Baby Plays….what a great idea!

February 11th, 2008

Lori Pope, a fellow mom came up with an idea that will help unclutter your home, and give your kids the chance to try many different toys—a Toy rental company called Baby Plays—lots of choices and opportunities to continuously refresh your child’s playtime.  No more fear that you spent money on a toy for your child which may be as interesting to them as your dusty treadmill is to you.

All of the toys stocked are kid approved, organized by age appropriateness, sanitized and loaded with fresh batteries before they reach your door.  Pope specifically chooses toys that are easy to clean, so you can rest your germ fears on this one!

“Families generally keep the toys for one month and then send them back in the box they came in, using a postage-paid return label the company includes with each shipment. Most parents know that’s long enough for little kids to exhaust their interest.

But it’s no big deal if the little one wants to hang on to a couple of toys for several months, Pope said. Parents can just exchange the toys they don’t want, and new toys are shipped out as the old ones are returned.” (AOL Money and Finance)

Don’t worry that you will be receiving really worn items either…anything that is more than “gently worn” is donated to needy families who are nominated by Baby Plays customers.

Each shipment of toys is lead tested—wooohoo!  Also, toys with small parts, or that are not easy to clean are avoided.  Fantastic!

Lori Pope also mentions that this is a great way for grandparents to have some great toys on hand and change it up every now and again.  So smart and full of MomAppeal!!!

Happy Toy Renting and great job Lori!  Mama Jen
