Great service

We rented 1 CARES harness for our 20 month old daughter before our trip to India. The entire process of renting and returning was extremely smooth and was taken care of very well. The harness was extremely well maintained with respect to cleanliness and quality. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone who is traveling with their toddler.

☺️ Thank you :)

Super easy and convenient

We rented 2 harnesses for my 2 small children to use during 2 5 hour flights. The harnesses arrived clean and with the carrying bag for storage, as well as a return envelope and instructions. It was so easy and convenient. I HIGHLY recommend, and will use this service again on our next trip. Thank you, Rentcares!!!

Disappointed (Washington)
Wish I could leave 0 stars

Somehow the system changed my departure date to a week AFTER we leave, and the harness didn't ship until noon the day prior to our departure. I have been told they do not do overnight shipments, so I guess my toddler gets to have mom giving them a bear hug during most of the flight. Customer service was of (almost) no help. They offered to refund the cost of the rental, but not shipping. Beyond frustrating.
