This company couldn\'t have come at a better time for families across this nation. I tell everyone I meet to at least explore their site at www.rentatoy.com. The variety, pricing and cleanliness are amazing. This company is simply genius! My family loves rentAtoy! This company couldn\’t have come at a better time for families across this nation.

I sometimes agonize about how my children can love a toy so much when I first buy it, and then two months later, they've totally forgotten about it. I usually send said toy up to the attic, in hopes that they'll fall in love with it all over again six months later. rentAtoy might be the perfect solution for me and my children! Thanks Desmond! :) This is a very intriguing idea. I sometimes agonize about how my children can love a toy so much when I first buy it, and then two months later, they’ve totally forgotten about it.

It's so cool that this is an option like this for parents now. My favorite part is that they are all educational toys. Anyhow, in regards to your comment on the green aspect, if your plan is for 4 toys a month, it is only for 4 toys a month...you can't get multiple shipments per month, so multiple monthly shipments in relations to environmental harm is not a concern. Yes, there is shipping and minimal packaging but it is CERTAINLY better than purchasing the toys from a store. Just thought I'd let you know.~Marie I’ve been a member of rentAtoy for a few weeks now and absolutely LOVE it! It’s so cool that this is an option like this for parents now.
