Parenthood is a lot of work. If you're a new parent, we don't need to tell you that. When it comes to planning for baby, the list is never-ending from cribs to playrooms and beyond. Here's a tip sheet for three items essential to caring for baby on the go. If you're a parent traveling to visit family and friends with your newborn, we'd love to help with a few of these essential items.

1. High Chairs- Make feeding time a cinch with one of our high chairs. Prearrange for one to be delivered to your condo, hotel, or family's home before your arrival.

2. Car Seats- Chances are, you'll be renting a car during your visit. Don't forget to rent a car seat, as well, apporopriate for your child's age and size.

3. Strollers- Save yourself the bulk and the hassle of traveling with your stroller. Why not rent one when you arrive in your destination? We offer a wide variety, inlucing lightweight, umbrella, jogging, and twin strollers.

Don't hesitate to book that flight to South Florida for a visit, and let us help in anyway we can to lighten your load. It's all about spending quality time with friends and family!

It's winter in South Florida and that means season is in full swing. We have an influx of temporary residents and tourists. The snowbirds have descended on our warm, sunny beaches, and with them comes visting relatives, children, and grandchildren. Will you be meeting a newborn grandchild for the first time this winter? Will the toddlers return to pay you a visit? Babies and toddlers require a very unique setup when it comes to houseguests and we'd like to be of service.

1. Cribs- All of our cribs at Family Rentals meet the new CPSC standards for safety, quality, and comfort for your little bundle of joy. Our latest model is this cherry wood non-drop side crib. They come ready to go with a comfortable coil mattress, mattress pad, sheet, and mesh bumper.

2. Bassinets- For your infant, nothing beats our bassinet for safety and comfort. Second only to a mother's arms, our bassinet will rock your infant to peaceful sleep in no time.

3. Toddler Beds- For your little tike who's becoming a big tike, our toddler junior bed's are the perfect solution. No longer in a crib, but not quite big enough for a twin-sized bed, our toddler beds are the perfect fit. They come standard with a side railing to keep your little guy from rolling out of bed in his sleep.

4. Play Pens- Our portable playpens are a great option for mommy's on the move and little guys on the go. It's foldable, packable, and can be used as a crib or playpen for your babe under 80 pounds. We have plenty to choose from!

Setting up a room for the little one is a cinch when you use Family Rentals as a resource. Give us a call! We're happy to help with anything you might need!
