Is it really more cost effective to rent?
Some items you might only use for a few months, or once in a while. The costs do add up.
Renting will allow you to get only what and when you need it. Also when you buy, selling items can sometimes be a hassle.
Renting also allows you to try different strollers, car seat and cribs.

Are car seats required by law in the Philippines?
Yes, children under 12 years old or 4'11" tall must use a car seat in private vehicles in the Philippines. This is required by the Child Safety in Motor Vehicles Act, or Republic Act 11229. The law applies to private motor vehicles, but not public utility vehicles.
Kids don't like car seats, they will cry and scream. But as a parent it's important that we teach children the importance of safety, even if the destination is close by. Let them cry for a minute. We may even have to force them to sit in the seat. It only takes one crash or one hard braking to injure someone. Learn more on NHTSA Website.
- The law aims to protect drivers and passengers from road accidents.
- Children should use a restraint system that is appropriate for their weight, height, and age.
- Children under 4'11" tall should not sit in the front seat of a car.
