Over the years Wee Travel has sought out new products and innovative ways to make it safer, easier and less stressful for families to fly with small children. Over and over again we’ve heard from our customers how difficult it is to stay in hotels with small children, due to the lack of amenities. As such we are very excited to tell you about our latest acquisition – a stunning rental accommodation in Vancouver called The Modage.
We converted this 1300 sq foot townhouse to a furnished vacation rental in August 2009. It’s fully equipped with top quality furnishings and amenities, and we welcome kids and pets! It comes complete with a crib and highchair if required, and a full range of baby gear can be provided for minimal cost. With 2 bedrooms, a den and 2.5 bathrooms, The Modage can easily accommodate six guests. Best of all, it’s located right in the heart of Kitsilano, one of the most desirable areas ofVancouver.
If you or your friends are planning to come to Vancouver in December 2009 or January 2010 and would like to stay at The Modage, please mention this offer and we will discount the rate by 15%.
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season,
Shana, Lesley and Jennifer

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, Victoria) is one of the few Canadian retailers of the Trunki, carrying the original Trunki in Pink and the new upgraded version in blue, green, cow and tiger print.
Wee Travel will ship anywhere in Canada. Price: $70

With all the information and misinformation going around about H1N1, Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals has spent alot of time on the Internet trying to separate fact from fiction so we can make some informed decisions the H1N1 vaccine. We finally came across a site that we feel confident about referring you to! todaysparent.com and canadianparent.com have a Flu Centre where you can post your flu questions for Dr. Bob Bortolussi, professor of pediatrics at Dalhousie University in Halifax and chair of the Infectious Disease and Immunization Committee for the Canadian Pediatric Society. He offers very clear and succinct answers to the questions many of us have, and there are numerous questions and answers to read through. Additionally, you can also find the latest news from Health Canada on H1N1, as well as general information and provincial updates.

If you are planning a trip to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics, here’s a great tip….pack light and enjoy the convenience of renting top-of-the-line baby gear from Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals. Have your rental item delivered to the location of your choice, or pick-up from the airport or our Kitsilano location.
Everything is in brand-new condition and meticulously cleaned. We are always worried about germs and this flu season we are washing anything that can’t go in the dishwasher or washing machine first with bleach and then with an antibacterial soap.
