Baby Gear & Equipment Rental in Istanbul: What Can You Rent?

Istanbul is a wonderful city to explore with a baby, but the gear that comes with a little one can take up more space than your own luggage.
Bebigo Travel rents baby equipment to families visiting Istanbul and delivers it to your hotel, Airbnb or serviced apartment. Here is what you can rent, how delivery works and how to decide what you actually need.
What Baby Equipment Can You Rent in Istanbul?
Our range covers the larger items most families would rather not travel with:
- strollers
- baby car seats
- travel cots and baby cribs
- high chairs
- baby carriers
- bouncers, toys and other everyday essentials
You don’t need to rent everything: many families bring the small things their baby is attached to and rent only the bulky items.
Stroller Rental in Istanbul
A stroller is useful for long days out, naps on the go and walks along the waterfront. Istanbul has hills, cobbled streets, trams and ferries, so a compact, easy-fold stroller is usually the most practical choice for the city.
When you choose one, think about how often you’ll fold it: in and out of taxis, on and off ferries, and up the steps of older buildings. If you’re travelling with twins, ask us about a twin stroller. You can browse our stroller options before you message us.
Baby Car Seat Rental in Istanbul
If your trip includes taxis, transfers, a hire car or days out beyond the centre, a car seat that suits your child makes those journeys calmer.
Car seats are made for children of particular sizes, so the right seat depends on more than age. When you ask about one, share your child’s age, weight and height, and the type of seat they use at home. Our car seat options include seats for babies and for toddlers, and our team will check which one suits your child.
Rental equipment is delivered to your accommodation, so for the journey there, ask your transfer company in advance whether it can provide a suitable child seat. Read the rented seat’s instructions and practise fitting it before your first trip. For questions about local requirements, check with your driver or transfer company.
Travel Cot and Baby Crib Rental
A good night’s sleep shapes the whole trip. Many hotels can provide a cot, but it’s worth asking what kind it is and whether one can be confirmed for your dates. Apartments and Airbnb stays may not have one at all.
A travel cot gives your baby a dedicated place to sleep, and a bedside crib sits alongside your own bed, which many parents like in the early months. If your accommodation can’t confirm a cot for your stay, see our travel cot and crib options.
High Chair, Baby Carrier and Bouncer Rental
High chairs
Mealtimes are easier when your baby has their own seat at the table, especially in an apartment where you’ll be cooking and eating in. Take a look at our high chairs.
Baby carriers
A carrier keeps your hands free on steep streets, stairs, busy markets and ferry decks. Many families use a carrier alongside a stroller rather than choosing between them. See our baby carriers.
Bouncers and essentials
A bouncer gives your baby somewhere comfortable to sit while you unpack, cook or get ready in the morning. Our toys and essentials also include items such as foldable trikes for toddlers.
Why Rent Baby Equipment Instead of Bringing It?
Bulky baby gear has to be packed, checked in, collected, carried through every transfer and hotel lobby, and then packed again for the journey home. Renting in Istanbul means:
- less luggage on travel days
- less risk of your own stroller or car seat being damaged in transit
- equipment chosen for the trip, such as a compact city stroller
- one less thing to manage with a baby in your arms
Bringing your own still makes sense for some families, and many mix the two.
Hotel, Airbnb and Apartment Delivery
We deliver directly to your hotel, Airbnb or serviced apartment in Istanbul, and collect everything from the same address when your rental ends. The simplest first step is to send us your accommodation address and dates, and we’ll confirm the delivery details.
You can choose a morning or an afternoon delivery, and our team confirms the exact window with you on WhatsApp. If you won’t be there yourself, tell us who will receive it, for example the hotel reception or a family member. For apartments without a reception desk, share the full address, your check-in time and any access details.

How Far in Advance Should You Book?
As soon as your dates and accommodation are set. Booking ahead gives everyone time to confirm the right items and a delivery slot that fits around your arrival, especially in busy travel periods.
Plans with small children can change. If yours do, message us as soon as possible and we’ll explain the options for your arrangement.
Which Baby Equipment Should You Rent?
Start with your itinerary rather than a checklist:
- Exploring the city on foot? A compact stroller, and perhaps a carrier for steps and crowds.
- Travelling by car? A car seat that fits your child, for transfers, taxis or a hire car.
- Staying in an apartment? A travel cot and a high chair, if the apartment doesn’t provide them.
- Staying a while? A bouncer or a few toys can make time at your accommodation easier.
Check what your hotel or apartment already provides before you decide, so you don’t rent something twice.
Baby Gear Rental vs Baby Equipment Rental
You’ll see both phrases, and here they mean the same thing. “Baby gear” tends to describe the everyday things you take out with you, such as strollers and carriers, while “baby equipment” often covers larger items like cots and high chairs. Bebigo Travel rents both, and you can arrange everything in a single conversation.
How Bebigo Travel Works
Everything is arranged on WhatsApp, with support in English.
- Tell us what you need. Share the items, your dates and where you’re staying.
- We confirm the details. Our team confirms availability, delivery timing and your personalised quote.
- Payment after confirmation. There’s no online booking or payment on the website. Once everything is confirmed, our team can share a secure payment link.
- Delivery and collection. We deliver to your accommodation and collect everything when your rental ends.
Every item is cleaned and checked before each rental. If anything doesn’t look right when it arrives, message us.
