Traveling starts to seem so complicated when you’re a parent, dripping with toys and blankies and gear of every size and description. But if you have friends or family with kids coming to visit you in the Bay Area, there are a whole bunch of local agencies that can help cut their packing list short:
Little Luggage: This San Francisco company has a friendly website and safety information about each product it rents. Luxury brands like Peg Perego are available. For an extra $200, the company will shuttle you back and forth from the airport in a Town Car with a carseat, something experienced parents learn not to expect from the rental car companies (even if you have a reservation!).
Baby’s Away: This nationwide baby gear rental company has branches in San Francisco and the South Bay that services the East and North Bay as well. Baby equipment such as cribs, strollers, toys, car seats, and high chairs can be delivered and set up for travelers. All gear is sterilized between renters.
Traveling Baby Company: Have equipment like bed rails, baby baths, or strollers delivered to a Bay Area location, or pick it up yourself in Fremont. Gear can be rented by the day or by the week.
Toy Lending Library at the Children’s Council of San Francisco: Toys, books, and videos, available to any caregiver, free. The library is open every business day, and one evening a month for borrowers.
Rent That Toy: A nationwide members-only service that rents out an incredible variety of toys.
