Have you ever dreaded what to bring (and not bring) to visit your baby’s grandparents? With the pandemic slowly subsiding, parents are busy making travel arrangements to see their own parents. For many families, it will be the first time grandparents and grandbabies ever meet!
As exciting as it sounds, such visits often bring stress to both parents and grandparents. Baby gear shopping is not only time-consuming and also challenging especially for grandparents who have a limited budget and/or storage space. Baby gear rental companies like BabyQuip may be a better option to consider.
Below is a list of must-have baby gears that may be better to rent than buy. Let’s take a deep breath and—here it is:
1. Sleeping
 |  |
Sleeping is essential to babies and young toddlers. Many factors contribute to a good night's sleep, including safe sleeping space, noise, temperature, humidity, and smell. It is important to set up a safe space where your child can sleep or nap in comfort.
Consider the space at the grandparents’ home (or vacation rental/hotel) and the ages of your children. Here are the gears you may consider renting:
| Babies |
|
| Toddlers |
|
2. Diapering
Cleaning up a little one after using the potty can be overwhelming. Having set up a clean, convenient space will not only prevent unnecessary messes but also help to calm grandparents’ nerves. Gears you need include:
| Babies |
|
| Toddlers |

3. Feeding

Having proper feeding equipment at grandparents’ house helps parents have a peace of mind when it comes to meeting their children’s needs. The more prepared you are, the more enjoyable it is at mealtime. Consider the following:
