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.

Ever had trouble sleeping while on vacation because you are worried your little one might just roll out of the ’strange’ bed he’s sleeping in? Well, Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals suggests you pack along a Bed Bolster to Go, and sleep peacefully. The portable ‘bed rail’ (it’s really more of an inflatable pillow) inflates in minutes and straps easily to a twin of full size bed. Sells for $39.95 USD. Deflated, you can easily fold it up and pack it in your suitcase.

Australia seems to be the land of great inventions, especially for babies. The Willi Lilli Buddy is another one of those fantastic must-haves for traveling parents (at least Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals thinks so). It’s a portable highchair, elevated floor pad (really a simplified bouncy chair), changing pad and shopping buggy seat all in one. It comes in a carry case with an inflatable booster cushion and includes a 5-point harness. Be sure to check this out, because this bud’s going to become your new best friend…but you’ll have to get it from Australia!

Now here is something that Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals thinks every traveling parent should have. It looks like a UFO, so your kids will love it. But the Loopa Gyro is actually a revolutionary bowl that keeps the snacks in the bowl and off the floor no matter how your child grabs, turns, swivels, dips and spins it. That means no more dealing with tears or hungry tummies when you’re on the go and the snack bag mistakenly gets dumped upside down on the car floor or pavement! Sells online for $9.99.

Now this is amazing. At least we at Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals think so. MomSpit is a no-rinse cleanser which lets you clean your little one anytime, no matter where you are - no water or sink needed. It works like magic and smells amazing. Just rub a little onto hands or face. Dirt will disappear. No rinse needed. Its antimicrobial properties leave skin clean, fresh, moisturized and smelling yummy. It comes in great scents: Fig and Green Tea; Lemon and White Tea, and there’s unscented, too. It contains no alcohol, mousses brilliantly, absorbs quickly and feels great. How can you NOT have this in your diaper bag?

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.
