Geranium Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Our daughter is due to visit soon with her new baby and we want to have everything ready for them. She doesn't want to bring everything with her (impossible on airlines these days anyway) and I can't afford to go and buy everything. Can anyone recommend a baby equipment hiring outfit in the south west (preferably Tarn or Haute-Garonne)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolly daydream Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 We had the same when first g/child came out. Things are not as expensive here, e.g. high chair 17E, buggy 20E, car seat 35E. Not the most trendy on the market but good quality and fully safety covered, also bought a travel cot rather than a full sized one. Failing that we have had offers of loans from friends and also looked on Ebay France. I have not seen baby products on hire but would think that would be an expensive way to do it. You can always take them shopping when they come out, so they buy the nappies, wipes etc. Must say, the chance of seeing our grandson outweighs the cost. Baby number two arrives in June so everything will get used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 We begged and borrowed and visited the local trocs. The only thing we bought new was a car seat.An early warning for you - last year I gave lots of stuff away because I thought there would be no more. My next grandchild is due in three weeks time.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geranium Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 What an exciting time for you. I do hope all goes well. I did wonder what young families do when booking gite holidays. Just try and find one that says it is fully equipped I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
