FAQ
What is the Cradlewise Rental Program?
The Cradlewise Rental Program (powered by Whim) gives families access to the full Cradlewise Smart Crib experience without the upfront cost of purchasing. Rentals start at $129/month with no long-term commitment, no security deposit, and no cancellation fees.
What's included in a rental?
Every Cradlewise rental includes:
Cradlewise Smart Crib
Nurture Core subscription
Free shipping both ways
No-cost replacements if needed
Dedicated customer support
You get the complete Cradlewise experience, including the same app, sleep insights, and soothing technology available to all Cradlewise families.
How does billing work?
Rentals are billed month-to-month. There is no minimum rental period, so you only pay for the time you need the crib.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. You can return your rental whenever you no longer need it. There are no cancellation fees or penalties. Just reach out to us at support@whim.com or log into your account at rent.cradlewise.com.
Is there a security deposit?
No. There is no security deposit required to get started.
How does shipping work?
Shipping is free in both directions. Whim handles delivery to your home, and when you're ready to return, you'll receive a return label at no cost to you.
Are rental units safe and clean?
Yes. Each Certified Cradlewise crib is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with eco-friendly, non-toxic, hospital-grade disinfectants.
Each crib undergoes a detailed inspection covering:
Structural integrity
Safety-critical components
Smart monitoring systems
Soothing and motion performance
Electronics and connectivity
Camera functionality
Cosmetic condition
Overall cleanliness
Only cribs that pass the full inspection are approved for rental. The crib is professionally cleaned and sanitized before shipment. Mattress covers and fitted sheets are replaced with completely new bedding. Mattresses are vacuum cleaned or replaced if required.
What if something isn't working?
If you experience an issue with your rental unit, contact our customer support team. Replacement support is included with your rental at no additional cost.
How is renting different from buying?
Renting gives you access to Cradlewise's smart sleep technology without a large upfront purchase. It's a good fit for families who want flexibility, since you can return the crib when your needs change.
How do I get started?
