French company Dim Dom has launched a service to rent out toys aimed at kids under five years old—like toy trucks, dolls, and even baby mobiles—on a short-term or subscription basis.
Now you wonder: Who exactly would be served by this service? After all, most parents would probably just prefer to buy their childrens’ toys (you never know how attached a toddler might get to a particular doll or bauble!). Apparently, grandparents, who expect kids for holiday visits, are primary targets for Dim Dom, as well as families who need toys for short vacations. If you can read French, check out Dim Dom’s site to see how their toy rental service works.
