Wee Travel Car Seats and Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) loves when a Sweetnothing arrives in our inbox. This weeks’ arrival was so full of useful traveling gear, that we want to share two of them with you.
Totseats, the washable, squashable highchair means minimal luggage with maximum impact. This chair-harness safely anchors a tot of between 8 and 30 months in almost any adult chair, like an instant highchair. It squashes into a pint-sized bag and is really easy to use - simply slip it over the chair back, adjust the length, clip it firmly and watch for the sighs of contentment from everyone. It comes in a range of funky fabric designs, and can be bought online for $35 US.
The Hoppop is gorgeous diaper bag and baby seat all in one! It’s a wee bit hard to describe, so we’ll let you check it out yourself, but lets just say this is one of the most clever things we’ve come across in a long time. You can buy it from many stores in Canada and the US for $99.

It’s a long flight. You’re traveling solo with the baby, and she’s not liking the airplane. In a desperate attempt to get her to sleep, you plop the pacifier into her mouth. She spits it out. You catch it and put it in. She spits it out. This time it lands on the floor. As desperate as you are, there’s no way you’re using the 10 second rule with the airplane floor. Then again, washing the paci means crawling across the two people beside you while holding a wailing, kicking baby.
We’re sure something like this must have happened to the mom who invented the RazBaby Keep-it-Kleen pacifier. This smart silicone savior has shields which close instantly when the pacifier drops, which means it always stays clean. Plus they are totally cute to look at, and retail for about $6 CDN.

Tired of finding those little Lego pieces scattered all around your house. Then you need to know about Clics…touted to be the next great toy. In fact, we love these so much, we are giving them away to our customers!
Clics are colored plastic building blocks that clic together to form hundreds of different models, limited only by the imagination of the user. Doesn’t sound like much, we know, but just wait and see how much fun your kids have with them.
Made in Belgium, these are all the rage in Europe and New York. Not only do they develop creativity and imagination, but also motor skills, logical thinking and spatial understanding. To get the imagination flowing, each Clics set comes with illustrated diagrams which show you, step by step, how to build a number of objects. The instructions are very easy to follow. And after children get the hang of Clics…they will be creating their own terrific objects. Included in Clics are wheels, axles, and of course the fantastic interlocking Clics themselves.
If you’re taking a road trip, a plane trip or just a day trip, stuff a bunch in your bag and your child will be entertained for hours…trust us!
