Coastal Baby Rentals, Based in Monmouth/Ocean County, Expands to Entire Jersey Shore

Coastal Baby Rentals is a small business founded by a mother of two from Brielle. It offers luxury equipment for vacationing families throughout the entire Jersey Shore.

As it enters its fifth summer season of business, Coastal Baby Rentals is pleased to announce its continued expansion into the South Jersey market. Coastal Baby Rentals is unveiling new product lines and an enhanced Web Site in order to meet customer demand throughout Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May Counties.

Coastal Baby Rentals was founded in 2009 by Brielle resident Stephanie Frith, a mother of two young children. Through personal experience, Frith discovered how stressful a family vacation can become when attempting to travel with babies, toddlers, and their gear.

“As a new mom, I was very conflicted about packing every single thing I needed for my baby or finding somewhere to rent equipment that wasn’t ancient or dirty,” Frith recalls. “I wanted a crib that was safe, a high chair that wasn’t filthy, a stroller that was easy to use…Basically, I didn’t want to sacrifice quality for convenience, and I was surprised there were so few options for parents like me.”

Frith founded Coastal Baby Rentals as a service to families seeking a stress-free and relaxing vacation at the Jersey Shore. Coastal Baby Rentals only offers premium, high-end, luxury equipment, and the company focuses exclusively on families with younger children.

Equipment available through Coastal Baby Rentals includes non-drop rail cribs with ultra-pedic crib mattresses, toddler beds, BOB joggers, strollers, car seats, booster seats, high chairs, beach cabanas, and wagons.

Coastal Baby Rentals provides items that families might not think about when traveling, such as baby bathtubs, Exersaucers, swings, video monitors, rail guards, safety gates, and safety packages for cabinets, drawers, and electrical outlets.

This year, Coastal Baby Rentals offers a brand-new line of Britax B-Agile strollers at a lower weekly price point than that of previous strollers. New items include luxury adult beach loungers and chairs, Melissa and Doug beach toy packages, and other toy assortments that will entertain children while away from home.

All equipment provided by Coastal Baby Rentals meets the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, is certified by the Juvenile Product Manufacturer’s Association (JPMA), and is sanitized using Seventh Generation® Green cleaning products.

Since 2009, Coastal Baby Rentals has offered its products to families vacationing at the Jersey Shore in Monmouth/Ocean County. Specific towns include:

Avon, Bay Head, Belmar, Bradley Beach, Brielle, Brick, Freehold, Jackson, Lake Como, Lavallette, Long Branch, Manasquan, Mantoloking, Normandy Beach, Point Pleasant Beach, Point Pleasant, Ocean Beach, Ocean Grove, Ortley Beach, Rumson, Red Bank, Sea Girt, Seaside Heights, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, Toms River, and Wall Township.

By its second year of business, Coastal Baby Rentals was fielding more requests from families traveling to Atlantic and Cape May County, New Jersey. As a result, Coastal Baby Rentals began serving many families in Ocean City, New Jersey and gradually expanded its customer base to include South Jersey towns such as:

Absecon, Avalon, Brigantine, Cape May, Cape May Point, Diamond Beach, Galloway, Longport, Margate, Marmora, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Stone Harbor, Strathmere, Ventnor, Ventnor City, and Wildwood/Wildwood Crest/North Wildwood/West Wildwood.

Coastal Baby Rentals offers two levels of delivery service. For most towns, Standard Delivery is $15, which includes equipment delivery on the afternoon of the family’s arrival and pick-up on the morning of departure. If families prefer, a staff member from Coastal Baby Rentals can set up the equipment; this Premium Delivery costs $30 for most towns. A 10 percent discount is available for families renting equipment for two weeks or more.

The Web Site for Coastal Baby Rentals – www.coastalbabyrentals.com – recently was relaunched to include new features based on customer feedback. Customers can peruse an inventory that has been expanded significantly. In addition, Frith has updated the shopping cart feature, enabling customers to easily track what they are ordering, and new credit card options are available.

Frith acknowledges that the upcoming summer will be quite different from her previous years in business, as the Jersey Shore where she lives year-round continues to recover from Superstorm Sandy.

“As a mom and the owner of Coastal Baby Rentals, I’m proud to help families do their part to restore the shore,” Frith notes. “I’m thrilled that visitors are booking vacations at the Jersey Shore that I love. I’m happy to work with families to meet their needs and budget so they have the best experience possible. I want them to come back and make the Jersey Shore a part of their children’s lives for years to come.”
