Ever been out and about and “plop”… there’s goes the pacifier. We’ve all been there. And most of us have invested in a few pacifier clips of one kind or another. But now you can design your own. You pick the ribbon and bead colours (there’s about 30 options), then you can personalize the clip with letter beads or even beads with cute sayings like “cutie pie”. All for $7 from Kangaroodle. Fun, Functional, Fab!!

Here’s a great idea - while it’s not exactly “green”, Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) thinks it sure makes dining out with kids easier.

If you have a baby that loves to wiggle when being changed (don’t they all?) then Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) thinks you’ll love the gorgeous Ubi Change Table. Stylish, hip and brilliantly designed, this change table makes diapering a breeze because it has special fasteners that hold the diaper in place. That means even if the baby wiggles, the diaper doesn’t! Plus, it holds a stack of 8-10 diapers on a spring-loaded dispenser. Retails online for around $120.

If hauling around the whole kit and caboodle (diaper bag, changing table accessories, blankets, pack-n-play) doesn’t sound like the kind of traveling you want to do, Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) thinks you might want to know about this great ‘grab bag’. The Lilly Gold Nap-Sac is a deluxe diaper bag that folds open into a self-contained changing station and a comfy bassinet.
Four padded sides fold up to keep baby tucked inside, making it perfect for places that don’t have changing stations (and more sanitary for places that do). When it’s time for a nap, baby can lie down in the padded bassinet, rather than sleep in the car seat.
The bag is made of durable nylon canvas and sized to be carried as a regular tote. The bottom has a wet-proof plastic cover and comes with a soft, white cotton slip for changing and a zebra-print sheet for sleeping. It also has all the spacious pockets you could hope for to keep things separate and easy to find. It comes with 5 bed sheets for a quick change. Available in black or red for around $70 US. Check out the Lily Gold website for retailers.

Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) thinks traveling just got easier thanks to the Lilebaby Eurotote. Ideal for parents on the go, the Eurotote is a bunting bag and baby carrier that will fit into your car seat, stroller or even just over your arm as a carrier. It’s good from newborn to 3 years, and comes with 2 interchangeable covers: a quilted microfibre outer cover with a flannel lining that protects from the wind and rain; and a breathable mesh blanket that keeps the baby cool in warmer temperatures. It also functions as a play blanket, and a convenient diaper changing pad when you’re on the go!
The Eurotote adjusts in length and width so it always fits just right, and it also comes with a removable carrying board. It comes in four great color combinations. Available through babyguru.ca for $155 CDN.

Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) first came across the Trunki from a post on the Optimist (a site full of gorgeous things well worth checking out).
The Trunki is the world’s first ride-on suitcase. Your kids can sit on and ride their own luggage - the caveat being you of course, have to play sherpa.
Specifically designed for kids 3-6 years old, this bag is roomy (18″x 7.9″ x 12″) and light, weighing only 3 lbs (sans toys, games and treats). It has an 18 litre capacity and easily stores in the overhead luggage compartment, making it ideal hand-luggage for kids.
The Trunk is available in green, blue, cow and tiger prints from Wee Travel starting at $70 Cdn.

Ever tried to juggle a baby, a stroller, a Starbucks and an umbrella in the rain? Impossible, right? It’s the coffee or frizzies, and if you’re anything like me, I usually end up looking like a caffeinated drowned rat. At least that was until Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) discovered the Buggy Brolly.
The Buggy Brolly is an umbrella that easily clamps onto the arm of the stroller and extends above parents’ heads for hands-free protection from rainy days. It also features a UV coating to act as a sunshade during the summer. Designed to be easily transported, the Buggy Brolly is made of lightweight metal and can be stored neatly on the buggy when not needed. Available online for £21.99.

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.
