[New] Launch of baby equipment rental marketplace

Two schoolfriends have launched a baby equipment rental and exchange marketplace, Hay-De, to cut the cost of becoming a parent. The launch is especially timely, coming during the cost-of-living crisis.

Parents can rent everything they need for their newborn, saving an estimated seventy five percent off the cost of toys, pregnancy aids and nursery essentials.

The service will also help make parenting more sustainable by allowing parents to trade in items they no longer need in exchange for other equipment. Millions of new, perfectly good toys are thrown away every year in the UK as children grow out of them or lose interest.

All items listed on Hay-De undergo a thorough cleaning and inspection before being delivered to customers across the UK.
