A Smarter Way to Rent Kids Bikes
Buying a bike for a growing child often means replacing it 12–18 months later. A kids bike rental subscription gives you a better option.
Start from just £8 per month, choose the right size, and when your child is ready for the next step up, swap it. It’s that simple.
Whether they’re learning to balance, riding to school, or tackling trails at the weekend, our subscription keeps them on a safe, properly fitted bike — without the long-term commitment of ownership.
Kids bike Subscription FAQ's
Delivery: Select your preferred delivery date on the checkout page. We will deliver your products on this date, and your rental will start from then. You will pay for your first period up-front, but any subsequent payments will be exactly one month from delivery. Shipping costs £7.95 within the UK. You can also collect from our Central London warehouse.
Returns: When you are ready to return your item, just hit ‘cancel’ in your account or email us at returns@baboodle.co.uk. You will be sent a link to create your FREE returns label and book in your return. We pause payments for 5 days whilst we await your items. Once the items arrive back with us your rental will be ended and all payments will be stopped.
Absolutely! Every piece of equipment Baboodle sends out undergoes a rigorous quality check and thorough cleaning process. Each item is carefully inspected for visible damage, including tears or cracks. Functional components such as brakes, wheels and reclining systems are tested to ensure they operate smoothly. We use baby-friendly sanitising spray from Dew to thoroughly clean and sterilise every item.
We cover wear and tear. Scratches and scrapes are bound to happen if your little one is using their bike. We don't charge for scratches!
When they have the bike, treat it as if it's your own.
With Baboodle, long-term kids bike rental works on a monthly subscription. You rent a children’s bike for as long as you need it, pay monthly, and can swap to a larger size as your child grows. There’s no need to buy, store, or resell bikes.
If you have kept your bike for 12 months or over, changing your bike size is completely free of charge.
If you are exchanging your bike within 12 months of receiving your first bike, you will need to pay the delivery fee of the new bike (£7.95).
Returns when cancelling your rental entirely are free of charge.
The correct size kids bike depends mainly on your child’s height, with age used as a guide. When you rent a kids bike, we help you choose the right size and make it easy to swap bikes if your child grows or needs a different fit. Use our fitting guide to find your perfect bike.
Our kids bike rental subscription is billed monthly, with no fixed long-term commitment. You can keep the bike for as long as you need and cancel when you’re finished, making it ideal for growing children.
We will make sure that the monthly rental rate matches the actual length of rental. For example, if you select a 12 month rate at £11 per month, but return after 3 months which has a £22 per month rate, we would invoice the monthly difference between the rental rates (£22-11).
Yes. All kids bikes are professionally maintained and safety-checked prior to dispatch. If anything goes wrong with your bike whilst on rental, please let us know at hello@baboodle.co.uk and our mechanics will do everything they can to help.
For many parents, renting a kids bike is easier than buying second-hand. Rental avoids the uncertainty of condition, fit, and resale, while ensuring your child always has a safe, correctly sized bike.
At Baboodle, all of our bikes are safety checked by our qualified mechanics, guaranteeing a level of safety that can't be offered with the second hand market.
Wear and tear is of course included. Bikes are made to be used! If your bike has an issue, reach out to us at hello@baboodle.co.uk with any images that may help our mechanics troubleshoot and help fix the issue.
If the bike is returned with damage beyond what would reasonably be expected from normal, careful use, we may charge a fee to cover the cost of replacement parts and labour.
