Last two weeks, I've rented a toy for Joel... It was my first time and I think it's practical! I didn't know what Joel likes, cos he still very young to appreciate toys and infant toys are not cheap... One simple toy can costs more than S$50!! What if, he doesn't like to play, then it will be a waste... Then, storing the toys is also a challenge...
In S'pore, I've found 3 sites doing toy renting service. I've chosen rent-a-toy.com. From what I know, they have been around for quite sometime and they have varieties of good toys... Besides that, their pricing is pretty reasonable too.
For a start, I've rented this educational toy: Little Tikes 5-in-1 Adjustable Gym.
There are hanging toys and a motion activated "kick pad".
Joel loves to kick cos there are sound and lights. But after awhile, he'll get bored and he'll kick the whole toy away...
Renting it @ S$22.80 per month. Pretty reasonable, right?

Hi Julie, first time I read about renting toys. Good idea.
Kids tend to get over a new toy very fast, and especially if doting parents keep buying and giving.
I just did a posting, "two young girls, two different lives' few days ago...about parents who spoil their kids rotten.
IYou are going about things the right way. Wayyyyy to go, Juliw.
Have a nice day, best regards, Lee.
ps, love your kid, real cute too.
Thanks Uncle Lee...
Never heard of Renting toys. Bounce houses yes but toys??? Sounds good and I questioned about hygiene but when I visited their site I read they cleaned them via steam sterilization.
Some of the toys seem very practical to rent - the kitchen, bouce house - etc..
It's probably better for the environment too because less 'stuff' goes into the dumps.
