Frequently Asked Questions

What baby equipment do I need for a vacation?

The essentials are a car seat, a crib or pack-n-play for sleeping, and a stroller. For longer trips, add a high chair and a baby monitor. Most baby equipment rental companies offer vacation packages that include all of these items delivered to your hotel or rental property. Renting saves you from checking bulky gear on flights.

When should I switch from an infant car seat to a convertible seat?

Switch when your child exceeds the infant seat's weight limit (usually 30-35 lbs) or height limit (usually 32 inches), whichever comes first. Convertible seats can be used rear-facing from birth through toddlerhood, then switched to forward-facing. Keep children rear-facing until at least age 2, as recommended by the AAP.

Is it safe to rent used baby equipment?

Yes, as long as the equipment has not been recalled, is within its expiration date, and meets current safety standards. Reputable baby equipment rental companies inspect and clean all items between rentals, check for recalls, and retire expired car seats. Always ask the rental company about their safety inspection process.
