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

Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto) has found some great CANADIAN handmade blankets, bibs and burp cloths for the babies in your life. Thanks to Boomers Baby, you and your wee ones will look hip and stylish toting these about. The patterns are gorgeous and the blankets come in two weights - there are winter ones for the colder nights and summer ones for those hot summer nights (that we have been so lucky to have this summer in Vancouver)! Best of all, the material is organic cotton and bamboo fleece and the filling is made from a corn based material. Prices start at $40 for the blankets and $12 for burp cloths. Watch for bibs coming soon.

The sun is here, hopefully to stay, and Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals is getting ready for our summer travelers. Chances are last summers’ sun hat will no longer fit your child, so if you’re in the market for a new one, make sure to check out the bucket hat by Milk Factory. We love them because they are lightweight, quick drying, have UPF 40 sun protection and their wide brim will throw shade around your toddlers’ shoulders. They come in a great array of colours (we love the kiwi with orange piping), fit sizes 18 mos+ (and if you’re a small headed adult, they’ll even fit you) and retail for $22 Cdn.

So here’s to the traveling baby from a whole different perspective. You know how kids travel like crazy crawling across the floor- cold tiles, hard wood, scratchy carpet. Here’s the perfect solution to protect those rolly polly little legs - Leg Huggers. Agoo children’s wear has designed a fantastic line made from Bamboo so they are oh so soft and comfy. There are new boys’ designs coming out next month and a pretty line currently available for your little princess. For $10/pair that’s priced from the 80’s! Best of all, you don’t have to take any pants off when the diaper needs changing!!

Milk Factory has combined forces and designed some funky, retro kids shirts that offer excellent sun protection in the summer (UPF 40), and provide a layer of warmth in the winter, like thermal underwear.

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.

It’s got looks, form, and function and it’s free of BpA, Phthalate, and PVC. This Fluid No-spill Toddler Cup is perfect for traveling (think no more wet shirts on long plane rides), and its ergonomic handles make it easy for tiny hands to hold. It holds 9 oz of fluid and has an angled tip requiring less head tipping. Best of all, it retails for about $6.

Hanging high chairs seem to be the hottest new baby trend. Great for traveling, small to pack, these hangers guarantee your child has a safe, clean, comfortable seat when you’re out and about.
Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) has come across two that we are particularly fond of. The Phil & Teds Meetoo, is a really lightweight (2 lbs), is made of aluminum and nylon, and clamps on to any table with C-clamp attachments. It comes with a 3-point safety harness and is good for kids up to 3 years or 40 lbs. This retails for $70 Cdn.
The Zooper Hook-on Chair comes with a four point harness and attaches to the table with a spring loaded locks and tightening knobs. It looks a little more plush and padded than the Meetoo, and retails for $60 Cdn.
Watch for the Phil & Teds Wriggle Wrapper coming soon. This innovative 3 in 1 portable wrapper lets your wee one sit, sleep and fee while you are on the run. It wraps around yoru waist or a chair for hands free feeding, and also has extendable straps that will fit around most single beds to keep your child from rolling off. Looks a bit like a restraint in this case, but the idea is clever!

Here at Wee Travel we are always looking for new ways to store our kids “things”. So when we came across the Kapsule Chair by Offi, we were thrilled. Not only is it fab looking (thanks to Karim Rashid) but it’s mutli-functional. The back of the chair is a storage bin, perfect for storing books and other things that often get strewn about the house. It comes in four hot colours and is made from injection molded polypropylene. Retails for about $50.
