In a casual conversation over a weekend dinner with friends where all our kids varied from a 15 month old to a 6 year old. The question of the number of options our kids have and the toys they have was where the conversation headed and then progressed to, what I think of toy libraries given that my kid is the oldest? Without a doubt I think they are great because they help you save space, its way easy on the pocket then buying all the toys and most important variety and liking. It offers you a lot of variety across age groups and if your kid doesn’t take too well to a toy then you are not stuck with it forever. I also think it adds immensely to a first time parent who is quite clueless on what to get for kids as they progress. Here is a guide of the Popular Toy Libraries in Mumbai. Click here to read our other guides to have fun while raising your little ones.

What’s impressive is that with the popularity the owners haven’t lost interest and are they almost everyday to take feedback and guide parents to pick their next toys.

I would recommend Playsmart to all moms who are vying for specific schools and are extremely driven. I would also recommend it to preschoolers versus toddlers.
