Contents 1 Childcare equipment rental 2 More info on MyBabyLocNew parents often ask themselves this question:"How much does our child cost each month? ". More and more of them are asking another question:"what is the ecological impact of our baby? »
A child has a very important ecological impact although he is not yet aware of it.
There are disposable nappies, very little worn clothes, daily baths, and all childcare equipment with a very short lifespan... Each family with a baby has more than 10 childcare items. Childcare equipment consumes a lot of non-recyclable plastic material. In addition, each item has traveled hundreds or even thousands of kilometers to reach its destination. One child produces 60 tons of CO2 per year*.
The startup MyBabyLoc has just launched a community platform for the rental of childcare equipment or related to childhood. It allows parents to rent out all their childcare equipment. The registration is completely free . MyBabyLoc connects people (individuals or professionals) in possession of children's equipment with people who need it and want to rent it.
MyBabyLoc thus allows families to find locally the necessary equipment for their baby. Transport is reduced, the material is reused, the ecological impact is therefore reduced to a minimum!
The MyBabyLoc concept is also part of the circular economy , that is to say that the rental of childcare equipment can bring parents between 200 and 700€ per year.
MyBabyLoc was created by Marie-Laure OGOR, mother of 2 children. By renting her own equipment on a well-known classifieds site, she quickly realized the success of her ads and the high demand. So she took the plunge and created MyBabyLoc.
For this, it sought to promote flexibility. Owners of childcare equipment can thus advertise rentals, at the price they want, for the duration they want! The rental is done in complete safety since MyBabyLoc allows the management of the deposit by credit card .
Customers can easily find the equipment they need by renting it via the platform. They can pay securely through secure payment methods.
MyBabyLoc simplifies family life:no more need to be close to shipping when they go on vacation with a baby! No need to buy double or triple to have the necessary equipment at the grandparents! No need to store the equipment between 2 children! No need to torture your mind for a purchase:the rental also allows you to test equipment before making a purchase! No need to feel guilty about your baby's ecological footprint:through local consumption, the MyBabyLoc concept is part of an aspect of sustainable development .
