Hire baby equipment for a few days!

In this article, we explain the advantages of renting for families. Why is renting economical, environmentally friendly and practical? What can you rent? Find out more in our article.

Rent for a one-off need!

For a one-off need or a limited period of time, why not consider renting baby equipment as an excellent solution? This applies to pushchairs, car seats and travel cots for your baby.

Let's hear from Jean and Françoise, who are both retired: 

‘Our granddaughter came to stay with us and we rented a car seat so we could take her out for drives and a cot for the house for 10 days.’

‘The booking and collection went smoothly, and what's more, it wasn't very expensive! We don't have to store it in the garage or basement all year round, and it saves us all the hassle of using Vinted or Le Bon Coin.’

Thank you, FAMILIB.

As you can see, renting allows for better consumption 

FAMILIB meets a real need and addresses a real issue for parents and grandparents alike. Renting means choosing a new way of consuming! By avoiding ‘consume and throw away’ behaviour, you are adopting a lifestyle that respects our environment.

Buying is often seen as the norm, even an obligation. We have been taught to buy in order to own. 

According to ADEME (the French Environment and Energy Management Agency), each French person produces an average of 354 kilograms of household waste per year. Most of this waste comes from goods that are bought and often used only once, then thrown away. 

With its concept of renting children's equipment, FAMILIB responds to new consumer behaviours and demands for the whole family: the circular economy is on its way, giving families freedom!

Why is it more economical to rent?

Today, with the use of the Internet, we are better informed and can spend our money more wisely. 

Renting a car seat or cot for your child from FAMILIB will cost you less than £5 per day for rentals of 10 days or more. If you buy one of these childcare products, you will spend at least between £50 and £100. Not to mention that the product will not be of high quality for your baby and will remain stored in your home until the next time you need it. 

Imagine if you had to buy everything you need for just a few days' use per year: skis, an electric bike for your rides, DIY equipment... The cost quickly adds up! 

By renting, you only pay for what you use, when you need it, without spending large sums of money. It's a smart choice that avoids ‘throwing money out the window’!

It's convenient and good for our local economy! 

When you rent from FAMILIB, you are choosing to consume more locally. You reserve your childcare product online and pick it up at a retailer near you.

Our network consists of pick-up points that are local shops. We also offer our baby equipment rental service in the CGH group's 4-star residences.

The FAMILIB network covers a large number of French cities, including Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Strasbourg, Nice, Rennes and Montpellier.

Our products available for hire are already stored on site at our collection points. Simply book online and once you arrive, you can leave immediately with your product.

FAMILIB relies on a network of physical collection points located throughout France. Their activities are often related to the world of children. 

This network is gradually expanding to meet the growing demand from families. In 2024, new locations were opened in Paris, Marseille, Chamonix, Versailles and Angers, bringing the total to 84 collection points in France, as well as in Madrid and Geneva.

Each of these collection points are retailers, hotels or local businesses where families can collect the equipment they have reserved online, with no delivery charges. This hybrid model (combining digital service and local presence) guarantees accessibility and simplicity, while fitting in with a regional approach.

At a time of more responsible consumption and an economy focused on usage and sharing, rental has a bright future ahead of it...
