All of the listed carriers and wraps are available for renting and testing 🙂
I am still working on filling the sling library. Check regularly if I have something new 🙂
How does a Sling Library function?
If you want to try a special carrier to see if it fits you before buying, if you need a fancy carrier for a special occasion, or a sling for traveling, you can use this library!
You can rent each carrier from one week onwards against a small fee or meet me in a local park on a sunny day to try a carrier once!
Pricing
Rental for one week is 1200 Yen (300 Yen a day). For longer rents I am giving discounts. Just check with me 🙂
Upon rental I am taking a deposit of 70% of the purchase price which will be returned when the carriers arrive at my place in best condition.
During Covid times I prefer to ship the carriers instead of meeting in person, in this case renter has to cover the shipping fee too.
Please get in touch for all the details!
