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!

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.

What is essential for traveling, weighs only 12 lbs and will fit in the overhead bin of an airplane? No, it’s not your carry-on (Wee Travel knows that weighs more than 12 lbs). It’s the Quick Smart Easy Fold Stroller. Much more than an umbrella stroller, this revolution is perfect for travel. With 2 recline positions, a 5 point harness and a retractable canopy, this is more than a few steps up from an umbrella stroller. It holds up to 40 lbs (which means it will hold your toddler but not your carry-on), has four 4 inch front swivel wheels and two 8 inch back wheels, and includes a travel bag. You can buy it online from Sears for $149.

This amazing safety restraint has been approved by most US and European airlines. It is now officially approved in Canada by Air Canada, Air Transat and, in the next few weeks, WestJet. In case you haven’t heard, this child safety restraint for airplanes attaches directly to the back of an airplane seat and augments the regular seat belt by restraining a child’s torso to the seat, rather than just their waist as per the regular seatbelt. It weighs only 1 lb and takes just a minute to install. What this means for you is that you no longer have to shelp your carseat through the airport just to keep your child safe on the plane. CARES are not sold in any retail stores in Canada, but you can buy them online from Wee Travel and they ship all across Canada. They sell for $85 and rent for $5/day or $25/ week.

If you’re traveling with wee ones, it’s usually easy to find a company at your destination where you can rent all the baby gear you’ll need for your trip. However, if you’re traveling with toddlers, it’s not always easy to rent a toddler bed. Well, Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals has found the perfect solution for you. The Aerobed for Kids is a super comfy inflatable bed that you can take with you on vacation. The bed comes with a powerful hands free plug in pump that inflates the bed to 8 inches in less than a minute - and the bed deflates in 15 seconds. It has a 50″ x 25″ sleep surface that is surrounded by four inch sides. It comes with a mattress pad and a carry bag. The Aerobed is made out of a puncture-resistant non-allergenic PVC material, and it supports up to 150 lbs. Retails for about $80.

If you are traveling with small children you are going to need a car seat. Now, do you bring your own or not? Many people opt to rent a car seat at their destination, however, if your destination doesn’t have a baby equipment rental company, or if you just want to bring your own, be sure to check out the gogo Kidz Car Seat Protector Bag. It’s made of a heavy woven fabric that will protect your seat so you can safely send it cargo. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Well, believe it or not, car seat protector bags are hard to come by in Canada. Wee Travel sells them for $50. If you live in Vancouver, Toronto or Victoria, you can even rent one from them for $3/day.

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?
