As children grow, their needs grow with them. From toddler beds to twin frames and learning tablets to gaming laptops, each new stage of life can bring with it a new round of big-ticket items. These updates are necessary – but they can also be expensive. And for many families, stretching a household budget to cover everything all at once isn’t always realistic.
That’s where Snap Finance can help. With lease-to-own financing, parents and guardians can give their kids what they need now – while spreading out payments over time.
Kids’ room essentials that add up fast
As kids grow and their interests evolve, their spaces and tech often need to keep pace. Some of the most needed items are often the most expensive:
Beds and frames (especially when graduating from crib to twin or twin to full)
Dressers, nightstands, and shelving
Study desks and chairs
Laptops, tablets, and printers
Gaming systems and accessories
Room décor and lighting
While you might not need to buy all these items at once, even one upgrade can strain your budget, especially when kids hit growth spurts, start school, or move into their own rooms.
Budget-friendly solutions: Buy vs. lease-to-own
Is your child ready for a room refresh, but your wallet isn’t? When kids need new furniture, tech, or school gear, it’s important to know your payment options and how to avoid common financial pitfalls.
Paying for everything upfront is often the most cost-effective option, but it’s not always realistic for families managing day-to-day expenses.
Credit cards can help in a pinch, but they sometimes have unpredictable fees. Applications are often processed instantly, but some may require additional review, which can take a few business days before the card is issued and delivered.
Traditional financing is another option, but approvals can take time, and there may be hidden fees. What’s more, you may not be able to afford the down payment. Finally, financing may not be available to you altogether if you have less-than-ideal credit.
That’s why lease-to-own financing from Snap Finance can be a smart alternative. Snap knows credit cards and traditional financing aren’t available to everyone. We offer lease-to-own financing for all credit types¹ so more customers can get what they need now and pay later. Snap lets you pay over time with manageable, scheduled payments, so you get the items your child needs now.
