Become Part of the Refurbishment Movement at Parently

Choosing a "Pre-Loved" product from Parently isn't just about buying a product; it's about making a conscious decision to prioritize quality, safety, and environmental responsibility. Every item we offer has passed strict safety inspections and is integral to promoting a sustainable lifestyle. By incorporating minor, character-enhancing marks, we celebrate the uniqueness of each item, ensuring you receive only what you need for your child, exactly when it's needed. This approach helps avoid unnecessary purchases and supports a mindful community of like-minded parents.

Pre-Loved vs. New – What’s the Difference?

Most of our rental products are available as both Pre-Loved and new. In other words, previously used or straight from the factory. But the choice between a Pre-Loved and a new product is about more than just condition. Here’s a comparison of both options based on key factors:

  • Rent Pre-Loved

    • Condition: Cleaned, tested, and fully functional
    • Use: Previously used
    • Wear & Tear: Plastic may have minor scratches, textiles may show slight sun fading
    • Sustainability: Reuse reduces waste and resource consumption
    • Price: More affordable than renting a new product
    • Availability: Chance to find older or discontinued models
  • Rent New

    • Condition: Brand new in original packaging
    • Use: Never used
    • Wear & Tear: None
    • Sustainability: Higher environmental impact
    • Price: Lower cost than buying new
    • Availability: Current product selection

Which option fits you best?

Watch Our Refurbishment Process

This is how we refurbish all of our products in our warehouse.

1. Inspection

We start by rigorously inspecting each item for completeness, examining it for any signs of wear that need repair, and ensuring it operates perfectly according to the manufacturer’s specifications. This thorough evaluation is crucial to maintain safety standards and determine the steps needed in the refurbishment process. Learn more about our approach to usage and maintenance here.

2. Refurbishment

Our refurbishment process is designed to restore each item to its original quality. It includes disassembling (when necessary), followed by a meticulous cleaning process using only non-toxic, child-safe cleaners. After cleaning, items are reassembled and undergo a final inspection to ensure they meet our exacting standards of functionality and aesthetics.

3. Quality and Safety Assurance

Once refurbished, every item is subjected to a comprehensive safety check according to the original manufacturer’s guidelines. After passing this check, items are packaged in eco-friendly, durable materials and come with a warranty for added peace of mind. We also include a personal touch with each productβ€”a hanger signed by the technician responsible for its refurbishmentβ€”demonstrating our commitment to quality and personal care.
