Introducing Rent a Romper, where sustainability meets style for your little ones. At Rent a Romper, we understand that babies and toddlers outgrow their clothing faster than we can keep up. That's why we've revolutionized the way parents dress their children, offering a sustainable solution that's both convenient and eco-friendly. With our membership program, you gain access to our curated collection of Premium and Essentials clothing, tailored to suit your child's evolving needs. From adorable rompers to cozy essentials, each piece is handpicked with care, ensuring both quality and comfort. Say goodbye to the hassle of constantly buying new clothes that your child will outgrow in no time. With Rent a Romper, you can embrace a new model of parenting that prioritizes environmental consciousness. By renting instead of buying, you're not only extending the life cycle of each garment but also reducing waste in the process. As parents ourselves, we know the importance of making sustainable choices for our children's future. That's why Rent a Romper was created by a mom, for moms and dads who value both style and sustainability. Join us in redefining the way we dress our little ones – one box at a time. Experience the joy of dressing your child in high-quality, fashionable clothing while making a positive impact on the planet. With Rent a Romper, dressing your growing bundle of joy has never been more sustainable or stylish.

Have a listen to Founder, Lauren Gregor, sharing her journey to starting Rent a Romper. #startup #sustainablefashion #womenowned
I got to talk with one of the best, Rob Ryan, about Rent a Romper and me. If you want to learn more about children's clothing, reuse, my journey to this #startup life, or how I think 😊 , give it a listen. As always, connecting with awesome people working to make positive change feels good. 💚 Thanks Rob Ryan
We are doing what we can to reduce the consumption of children's clothing. To create a shared community that reuses our resources and creates a new way to consume for our children. Our kids deserve us to try to build better ways.
⛺ These last couple of days, I've spent time with my family outdoors. Once the school bell rang, we escaped to nature. We hiked, climbed rocks, and saw lizards and snakes. We cooked on the fire and just sat with each other staring at this beautiful place. We left feeling full and calm. And - in awe of this thing called nature. 🌍 And I left with a renewed sense of purpose to take care of this planet that does so much to take care of us. #secondhandfirst #circulareconomy #sustainability
We love having Mightly as part of our inventory and in our community working toward change in fashion.
Over 60% of clothing is made from fibers that contain plastic. Sure they are wrinkle resistant and durable but it comes with an incredible price tag and one that we aren't so keen on buying into. "By one estimate, health problems related to plastic chemicals cost the U.S. health care system $249 billion in 2018 alone. Infertility in both males and females, cancers, neurodevelopment disorders, cardiovascular and kidney disease all have been linked to the chemical additives that can be embedded in microplastics. And plastic production workers at textile facilities die of lung cancer and lung disease at higher rates."

🔥 Some days just get me fired up for what we are building at Rent a Romper. Already today, I've had fulfilling and thought-provoking conversations about the future of fashion, consumer behavior, and sustainability. 👩💻 Had an Instagram Live with Karly Hiser, Founder of Crann Organic about being an entrepreneur and building a sustainable clothing line for kids. (We have some incredibly cute items from them in our inventory!) 📈 Joined ThredUp's Resale Report Webinar for trends in second-hand fashion and retail. 📊 Met with the brilliant Tracie Tung about the data we are collecting on reuse and an exciting project coming soon! ♻ Spoke with SuperCircle about their end-to-end services to help with inventory recycling and ways we could partner. Some days being a Founder can be very hard, but then we have days that we are reminded that what we are building is new and different. It needs creativity and collaboration. And most of all, what we are building is needed in this world.

Rent a Romper is featured in The Bump's new Future of Parenting Trend Report as part of the trend toward "Green Households." 👶 As parents, we know that doing the best for our kids and protecting the planet can sometimes be difficult, particularly with the traditional retail models. ♻ That's why we are building a new model - one where parents don't have to compromise on their values - and it is exciting to see the data supporting this. "Preloved clothing is something that WGSN’s Erin Rechner sees as becoming increasingly accepted. 'According to WGSN’s Barometer data, consumers are warming up to rental and resale more this year than last, with 58% of parents aged 25-39 saying that they like or love rental and resale,' she says. 'Something that was once looked down on is becoming cool, as preloved can demonstrate a stand on being more circular, and also offers the opportunity to add more personality and styling options to an outfit.'"
Join us this Saturday at The Arena House in El Segundo for a Children’s Clothing Swap! Details in our blog.

Here’s a quick list (not comprehensive at all, but starts with Renewcell) of some of the brands you can support innovating in this space. Save this. Share this. But MOST OF ALL.

Cannot wait to share some of the work we are doing to make our customer experience better and help meet all of their kids' clothing needs. 💚 Any ideas what we are working on for you?
Spent time yesterday talking with Ryan Atkins and Danai O. of Supercycle - and it was really fun. We spent time talking about the real needs of customers who are renting, how to create efficiencies in fulfillment for our model and others, and the massive potential there is in the data we are collecting about clothing. There are some really cool things coming for Rent a Romper this year and I'm excited to connect with people who share our vision and aren't afraid to dig into the details with me. #dataanalytics #sustainablefashion #circulareconomy
