Renting or buying baby equipment for your holiday: which is best?

Planning a trip with a baby and unsure whether to buy baby equipment or rent it on site? It mostly depends on how long you are staying and how often you travel. Here is what you need to decide with confidence.

The real cost of buying for a few days

A good travel cot costs between 80 and 150 euros, a compact stroller 150 to 400 euros, a high chair 60 to 250 euros. For a stay of a few nights, that investment is hard to justify, especially if you will not reuse the equipment soon. Gear used one week a year also takes up space the rest of the time.

Renting: pay only for what you need

By renting your equipment, you only pay for the nights you use. A travel cot costs a few euros per night, delivered clean and set up. It is the ideal solution for a weekend, a holiday or a visit to the grandparents, with premium equipment (Hauck, Stokke, Cybex, Maxi-Cosi) without having to buy it.

Luggage and transport: the argument that changes everything

Carrying a cot, a stroller, a high chair and a car seat in your luggage is a headache, especially by plane or train. Renting lets you travel light: everything is waiting for you on arrival, and we collect it at the end of your stay.

Our advice depending on your situation

• Occasional trip: renting is almost always cheaper and more practical.
• A baby who grows fast: renting lets you match the gear to their age without rebuying.
• Travelling light or by public transport: home delivery makes all the difference.
