I found a local company that has an awesome newborn rental program. But I don't know what preset date to go with.

I'm "due" Dec 21st.
One date is Nov 30th
And the other is Dec 16th

Which should I go with?

I would do the later date. It is easy to run out for sposies if you go early, but if you have a normal pregnancy, odds are you will be within 5 days of the "due date". If you really really want 100% cloth from the second they are born, though, I would do the earlier date. Also that way you can practice with putting the diapers on stuffed animals

is this your first baby? if not, were any of your others early?

How does this rental work? Is it where you get the diapers and use them until you are done with them and then return them, or is a service where you use them and send them back to be washed and they bring new ones? How much of a difference in price will it be to have them longer?
I personally would rather have them longer so I know i have them ready to go. If its your first, practicing on a stuffed animal/doll would be helpful as pp said. I like to be prepared and so i would pick the earlier date. Of course you can use disposables in the beginning if you need to. I just wouldnt want to wait until a few days before the birth to have the diapers on hand.

It's a two month rental from the pick up date.
I'd be in charge of washing and then returning them clean at the end of the term.

This is my first child. I'm half expecting an early baby though... Just a feeling on my part.
