Baby equipment rental - recommendations?

[Angel Ariel]

When we stayed at the Tropicana last year, DD *barely* fit into the portable crib that the Tropicana provides. (You can see what that crib looks like in the photo below). She's had a pretty big growth spurt, and definitely won't fit that crib in November, but she still needs to be in a crib. For many reasons, it's not safe for her to sleep not in a crib yet (not even with bumpers or a bed rail).

So I did some googling to see if there were baby equipment rental companies that rent full size cribs, and a few came up right away. Does anyone have any experience with Baby's Away or Traveling Baby? Or do you have experience with a different rental company that we should look into?

We've spoken to the Tropicana, and they will remove the table/chairs that are normally by the window to accommodate the full size crib, so space (thankfully) won't be an issue this year. We rented her stroller from City Stroller Rentals last year, and had a great experience, but they don't seem to rent cribs unfortunately.

Any experience would be appreciated! Thanks

When our oldest had that issue, we bought our own travel crib and shipped it from hotel to hotel via UPS. He refused to sleep in a crib that wasn't familiar, so this method worked. When we drove, it worked great. Otherwise, UPS delivered to the hotel and we worked with the hotel so they knew it was coming. If you go this route, there is a Target about one mile south of DLR on Harbor. Or Amazon might be another option. Hopefully other DISers will give reviews on the rental places.
