To be honest, I was pretty hesitant when my friend first mentioned BabyQuip. What if something fell through and I didn't receive the equipment we very much needed? What if the gear wasn't in the best shape? A lot of my fears eased once I spent a little time on the BabyQuip website, which is easy to navigate and provides the answers to frequently asked questions.
First thing's first: there's a three-day minimum, so while you can rent items for a shorter period, you'll be charged the full three-day price. After selecting your destination and travel dates, you land on a list of what the service calls Quality Providers in the area. Beside each person's name, you can see their photo, some preview pictures of their equipment, a rating (out of five stars), the number of times they've been reviewed, and how many successful reservations they've completed. Once you choose a provider, you'll see more details — their contact information, the neighborhoods they serve, plus all the available equipment and the daily pricing for each item.
