Times have changed! If you’re traveling with kids, it’s no longer necessary to bring all that baby gear with you. And, with the tight baggage restrictions on airlines, you really can’t bring it with you anymore, anyways. Renting baby gear is the way to go!
Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals launched in 2005 as Canada’s first full service baby equipment rental company. Good idea? You bet. Now there is at least one rental company in every major city in Canada! Wee Travel has offices in Vancouver and Toronto. Check out this video to find out more about the company and the great products they have to rent.

We love the Trunki. You’ll love the Trunki and your kids will most definately love the Trunki. The Trunki is the world’s first ride-on suitcase. Your kids can pack it, sit on and ride it around the airport. Never again will you hear “my feet hurt, carry me”.
Specifically designed for kids 3-6 years old, this suitcase is made from the same durable plastic as adult suitcases. It’s roomy (18″x 7.9″ x 12″) and light, weighing under 4 lbs (sans toys, games and treats). It has an 18 litre capacity and easily stores in the overhead luggage compartment, or under the seat making it ideal hand-luggage for kids.
Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver) is pleased to be one of the few Canadian retailers of the Trunki. We carry the all new upgraded version which comes complete with a carry handle, an internal pouch, “teddy-bear” seatbelts and much more.
The Trunki retails for about $70 CDN. Wee Travel will ship anywhere in Canada.

Wee Travel is pleased to announce the opening of our new Travel Store. We search the globe for innovative travel products that make traveling with children safer, easier and less stressful. Here’s five products we think everyone should have for their trip:
CARES Airplane Child Restraint
Why we like it: The only FAA alternative to a car seat allowed on planes. This attaches directly to the back of the airplane seat and augments the regular airplane seatbelt by restraining torso to seat and not just waist.
gogo Kidz Travelmate
Why we like it: If you need to bring a car seat on your trip, you no longer have to worry about how you’re going to carry it through the airport. This marvelous invention allows the your seat (and child) to be wheeled around the airport just as you would wheel a suitcase.
Car Seat Protector Bag
Why we like it: If you plan to send your car seat cargo, this bag has a ton of extra compartments and is water resistant and made from heavy woven nylon. Best of all, if you have a gogo Kidz Travelmate, the car seat protector bag has 2 openings at the bottom for the Travelmate wheels, and an opening at the top for the Travelmate handle, so you can wheel the seat through the airport.
Airplane Seat Covers
Why we like it: If you’re wary about letting your child lie down on the filthy airplane seat, then these disposable seat covers are for you. Just pop them over the headrest and pull them over the seat, and your seat is clean and sanitary. Made from a soft polypropylene, these seat covers can be washed and re-used.
Travel Tattoos
Why we like it: If you have a child that likes to wander, your kids and you will love these child friendly tattoos. The tattoos are customized with your phone number, so you can easily be contacted if you and your child get separated. The tats are easy to remove with the included alcohol wipe, but they will stay on in the bath so one tattoo can last you an entire vacation.
