Tico Friends Baby Equipment Rentals

Tico Friends is a baby equipment rental service based in Tamarindo. It rents gear to families travelling with babies and young children, so they do not need to bring everything from home. Items include travel cribs with mattresses, full-size cribs, jogging and umbrella strollers, high chairs, baby bathtubs, beach playards, pop-up beach tents, car seats and beach toys. A full item and price list is on the website.

The business was started by a local family, and its first rental was in 2016. Delivery and pick-up are free within Tamarindo and Playa Langosta. Delivery to other nearby beaches, such as Playa Grande, Conchal, Avellanas, Playa Negra and Flamingo, costs extra. Staff set up the equipment on delivery, except car seats, which customers install themselves. The company says all items are cleaned before and after each rental. Contact is by phone, WhatsApp or email.

The business is consistently well reviewed. Customers often mention clear communication, fair prices, and clean equipment that was delivered on time. Several reviewers say the team worked with their hotel or rental host so the gear was set up before they arrived.
