Baby in a high chair

In the first four years of a child’s life, parents need all sorts of consumer products, spread over relatively short periods. All these items not only cost a lot of money, but also put a heavy burden on the climate. For example, a new stroller quickly has a CO2 footprint of more than 300 kilos.

Tiny Library believes that parents should be able to rent baby items easily and affordably instead of buying them, so that we all have to buy far less new stuff. The platform's assortment contains around 550 products, including strollers to buggies, co-sleepers, high chairs and much more.
