Baby Gear Group | We made TIME's Best Inventions List! Plus sales, partnerships, and holiday bookings.


Baby Gear Group has been named one of Time’s Best Inventions of 2025! This is a nice shiny trophy, but it’s also a signal that the idea of sharing gear, reducing waste, and simplifying parenting is resonating with families.

TIME only picks inventions that truly change the way people live. They look not just at how novel something is, but whether it solves a problem and improves daily life. That’s exactly what we set out to do.

We are thrilled and grateful:

  • To the families who trusted us for rentals and swaps
  • To the moms and dads who spread the word
  • To our community that welcomed this idea

This recognition is a shared win.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We’re just getting started.
