Toys will always be in the demand but the real question is where are they headed after they have been used for so long by kids who seem to want a piece of everything that they see. A natural parent would normally look at toys to calm down kids who always want the first toy that they see but perhaps checking out this new venture, Rent-A-Toy, can be a better solution both environmentally and financially.

It’s called Rent-A-Toy, a new San Diego-based online subscription service allowing families to choose from more than 700 different toys for all age ranges, from Baby Einstein to Wii. Plans start at about $25 a month.

It looks like a business opportunity on one hand but if the intent is right and aimed at reducing the waste and garbage originating from used toys that are made of plastic and metal, then you can see where this is going.

The logic is really something common. Kids play with toys but reach a point where they don’t like them anymore. There are exceptions and perhaps one question that can be hurled at Rent-A-Toy would be on whether they have options to purchase just in case sentimental values step in.
