Parents Can Rent Toys At New Website By Paula Ebben, WBZ-TV December 1, 2011 11:22 PM
BOSTON (CBS) – When you are a kid on Christmas morning, it’s all about volume. But when you are a parent, cruising the aisles of the toy-store in December, it’s about trying to balance a happy holiday with a reasonable budget.
Paul Reinsmith of Boston has found a great way to have plenty of toys under the tree, and all year, without breaking the bank.
Paul and his wife Pam discovered what they call the ‘Netflix’ of toys.
It’s called Toygaroo, a website that lets parents rent toys for a fraction of what they would cost to buy. WBZ-TV’s Paula Ebben reports.
“It’s the ideal situation for the holiday time,” Paul said. “You can stuff toys under the tree for under 50 bucks. If you were out there buying them, there’s just no way you could do that.”
Paul and Pam choose the toys that are best suited for their son Will and just like Netflix, they go into a queue. Depending on the service plan, every month or every other month, a box comes in the mail with a new set of toys from the queue. When the time is up, send the toys back and a new box will be on its way.......................>>>>................................>>>>..........................http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/12/01/parents-can-rent-toys-at-new-website/
Perhaps they can come up with a 'rentaparent' for kids. The kids can get a new set of parents every month. Would be cheaper then foster care....yes?
