COVID-19: Our approach towards safety and flexibility with our rentals
Like all of our families across the globe, we are continuing to monitor the impact of the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19). We value the safety of our guests as well as our local operators and want to share some of our measures to help uphold that commitment.
Contactless Deliveries
While many states have issued “stay-at-home” measures, we understand that baby equipment may be needed for those sheltering away from home. Many of our locations offer contactless deliveries where equipment is delivered directly to your front porch. Please inquire with your local operator to coordinate such deliveries.
Equipment Cleanliness
We want to assure you that protecting our guests from the risk of infection by communicable diseases has always been part of our safety and cleanliness protocols. While the current COVID-19 is newly identified, it behaves like other human coronaviruses.
Coronaviruses are easily eliminated from surfaces through routine cleaning and sanitation. All of our equipment is thoroughly disinfected and sanitized between each use with products approved by the CDC. We have an increased policy for ongoing, frequent cleaning and sanitizing to ensure a products safety prior to it going out for a reservation.
Reservation Flexibility
For those with upcoming travel, we shall continue to operate in accordance with our high standards. However, we understand any uncertainty and reservations can be cancelled for a full refund with at least 24 hours notice prior to delivery. We do not process payment until the week of delivery, giving you more flexibility to make changes as your plans also change.
Should you need to cancel a reservation, please contact either our local operator or our corporate office. We do not process payment until the week of your reservation. However, if payment has been processed prior to the cancellation, you shall receive a full refund. If you have a confirmed reservation and have simply changed your travel dates, please contact our local operator. We can similarly adjust the dates of your reservation.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to evolve our business to best suit your travel and safety needs.

Cleaning & Sanitizing Standards :
Cleanliness and safety are the top priorities at San Diego Baby’s Away. All rental
items are deep cleaned and safety checked after each rental. Along with the below
processes every item is scanned with a Leo UV Light Sanitizer, killing 99.9% of Viruses and Bacteria.
Our Cleaning Processes include:
- Steam Cleaning – We steam clean most items using the Sargent Steam
Cleaner, enabling us to deep clean without the use harsh chemicals. Each
blast unleashes 298 degrees of powerful steam that provides a quick kill on
all types of bacteria in less than two seconds. - Machine Washing – All fabrics that can be washed will be washed using a
mild detergent on the hottest recommended setting. Examples: All Car Seat,
Bouncy Seat, Exersaucer/Jumper Seat, and Swing Seat Fabrics. As well as,
Crib Sheets, Bumbleride Seat Fabrics, and High Chair Seat Covers. - Vacuuming – Before items are washed/sanitized we vacuum from top to
bottom removing all loose sand, dirt and crumbs. - Sanitizing Wipes – We wipe down hard surfaces with sanitizing wipes to
ensure our items are clean to the recommended standards of the CDC and
WHO.
