We do not have enough of toys for our kids... neither will our little ones stop demanding new play things. The worst part is when we see our child lose interest in a new toy. Ask me about it... The toddler likes a particular toy for maximum 5-7 days (books are the only thing that she has been interested in since she was couple of months old - touch-wood to that). Toy shopping is an art, you need a lot of patience, strong negotiation skills (90% times your child won't budge), lots of time and energy.
I was extremely worried about spending thousand of rupees on something which would just become a thing of the past in a couple of days. I also did not want to keep the toddler away from toys.That is when I came across Toys-On-Rent : A Online Branded Toys Library, and I was a happy mom... with a happy toddler.
Based out of Bangalore (which made me even happier) Toys-On-Rent has a range of toys for children from birth up to 7 years of age.
It is an extremely easy procedure to rent a toy, one needs to fill a registration form (very simple) and select a rental plan which suits their needs. A nominal One time Registration Fees Rs 500/- has to be paid. You can pay us in cash or through an account payable cheque (during the toy delivery) else you can also make an online payment. Once a confirmation is received (mostly within 3 days) you can easily log on to your account, browse through the toys and add them to the Queue. Once you place your order, the toy will be delivered at your doorstep.
The toy you pick can get exchanged every fortnight. If your child doesn't want to part with the toy at the end of 2 weeks you can also buy the toy.
Toys-On-Rent : A Online Branded Toys Library is extremely particular about the brand of toys they offer - hence they are extremely child friendly. All the toys that you receive would be cleaned and sanitized, this is done before each delivery. You can also choose to give your loved ones a Toys-On-Rent : A Online Branded Toys Library gift card.
Pros: Novel Concept (though now I have seen other Toy Libraries as well), selection of toys is good. They are present across Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai
Cons: Competition is rising... rentoys is another such toy library which is functional across 4 other cities besides Bangalore. Another one I have heard of is Toypedia.
