Tiny Explorers

Tiny Explorers is a UK-based baby and child equipment rental service designed to simplify family travel. The business provides a wide range of products for hire, including premium strollers like the Babyzen YOYO, car seats, travel cots, highchairs, and specialized travel accessories such as the Stokke JetKids BedBox. The company operates primarily through its e-commerce website, tinyexplorers.co.uk, where customers can select items, choose rental dates, and arrange for delivery and collection across the United Kingdom.

The company was founded in 2022 by Hayley Hanigan, a mother of four who was on maternity leave from her full-time job at Unilever. The idea originated from her own challenges with the logistics and cost of family travel. Hanigan started the business by purchasing five pushchairs for hire and building an online platform. The venture saw rapid growth, earning over £200,000 in its first year. The business model is centered on providing convenience for families, especially those visiting from abroad, by delivering clean, safety-checked equipment directly to their accommodation, such as hotels or Airbnbs, and collecting it at the end of the rental period. Rental periods are flexible, ranging from a single day to a full year, with next-day delivery available.

Tiny Explorers serves families traveling within or to the UK, offering a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to purchasing expensive gear that children quickly outgrow. The service has gained popularity and has been used by celebrity clients, including Lauren Pope and Mollie King. Based in the London area, the company employs local mothers, offering them flexible working hours.
