Why Renting Baby Gear From Teljoy Could Be the Smartest Decision You Make

For many parents, especially first-timers, the pressure to “have it all” can feel relentless. While every item promises comfort and safety, the costs and clutter can quickly become overwhelming. 

But what if you didn’t have to buy it all?

More South African families are discovering a smarter, more flexible way to parent by renting baby gear through Teljoy. It’s cost-effective, clutter-free and designed for real-life parenting, where needs change fast and space is precious. Plus, Teljoy’s Rent To Own model means you can enjoy premium baby gear today, with the option to own it later if it fits your lifestyle.

The Hidden Costs of Buying: More Than Just Money

Buying baby gear isn’t just expensive, it’s emotionally and logistically draining. You invest in a top-of-the-range stroller, only to realise it’s too bulky for your car boot. You buy a car seat that’s outgrown before your child’s first birthday. Then there’s the storage dilemma: where do you put the camp cot when you are not using it?

It’s enough to make any parent feel overwhelmed by the constant cycle of buying and storing.

These are some of the hidden costs that Teljoy has investigated:

• High upfront expenses for short-use items
• Bulky gear that quickly becomes obsolete
• Storage challenges in compact living spaces
• Limited flexibility once you’ve committed to a purchase

Renting Baby Gear: A Practical, Empowering Alternative

Renting baby gear isn’t just about saving money, but it’s also about reclaiming flexibility. With Teljoy’s Rent To Own model, you can start with manageable monthly payments and decide later whether to keep the gear long-term. It’s parenting on your terms.

• It’s easy! Browse online, add to cart and start renting with Teljoy

Real-Life Parenting and Grandparenting, Real-Life Solutions

Grandparents are discovering the convenience of renting baby gear, too. Instead of buying gear that takes up space, they can rent a Bambino Side By Side Travel Cot for longer family visits or a Safeway Pacify Grey Campcot for sleepovers. It’s practical, clutter-free and much more flexible.

Urban parents living in compact spaces also benefit from renting. Instead of squeezing bulky gear into every corner, they can rent baby gear on a month-to-month basis and switch it up as their baby grows or their needs change.

We understand that safety is top of mind when it comes to baby gear, and because all Teljoy products are brand new, you can rest assured that everything you rent is of the highest quality and in perfect condition. Teljoy’s safety-certified brands ensure your baby’s comfort and safety, and the risk cover gives you peace of mind.

Travelling with Kids? Teljoy Has Your Back

The Joie Litetrax™ 4 Travel System is perfect for navigating airports and unfamiliar terrain. It’s compact, easy to fold and comfortable enough for naptime on the go. You can also rent the Chelino Atlantis 360 car seat, which offers safety without the bulk, with ISOFIX compatibility and a 360-degree swivel that makes installation a breeze.

The Joie Trillo Booster is ideal for older toddlers who still need safety but want independence, while the Chelino City Travel System is sleek, urban-friendly and perfect for navigating tight spaces.
