Marie Kondo became famous for her decluttering philosophy a couple of years ago. She told us to look at our items and if they didn\u2019t spark joy that we should get rid of them. I would go a step further than Ms Kondo and ask if something doesn\u2019t spark joy, do we really need to buy it in the first place? Sure, we might need it for a while, but do we need to own it?<\/p>\n

At different life stages we have different needs. Anything that is required only for a short term can be rented. It is the ideal solution for students and people on the move \u2013 furniture, office and gaming equipment, home gyms. New parents are in another stage of life where they need an awful lot of gear, for a very short term\u2026 sometimes just months! The amount of equipment a newborn baby needs is eye watering; the essential items being \u2013 pram \/ cot \/ car seat, but the list can be extended to highchairs \/ co-sleepers \/ walkers \/ bouncy chair \/ breast feeding pillows\/changing tables. Yet after a year, a whole other set of equipment is required because they baby has outgrown the infant gear. I would admit to having kept my kids\u2019 cutest babygrows, and indeed I still have them, because they remind me of them as babies. When it came to the buggies and cots and isofix bases, I couldn\u2019t wait to get rid of them and get some space in the house back! These objects don\u2019t spark joy, they take up space, and once my kids had<\/p>\n

Swapping equipment as your child grows means you’ll save space, money and it’s eco-friendly! When we first started Stork, the idea of renting baby equipment for more than just a holiday instead of buying it hadn’t taken on. But that’s changed. Of course, there are some pieces of equipment that are not suitable to rental, but many things that are. When you look at the average family, living in an average sized house and consider the amount of space baby gear takes up, how nice would it be to just hand everything back as soon as you’re done with it? That’s one of the benefits of baby equipment hire, but there’s more…<\/p>\n
