Over the years Wee Travel has sought out new products and innovative ways to make it safer, easier and less stressful for families to fly with small children. Over and over again we’ve heard from our customers how difficult it is to stay in hotels with small children, due to the lack of amenities. As such we are very excited to tell you about our latest acquisition – a stunning rental accommodation in Vancouver called The Modage.
We converted this 1300 sq foot townhouse to a furnished vacation rental in August 2009. It’s fully equipped with top quality furnishings and amenities, and we welcome kids and pets! It comes complete with a crib and highchair if required, and a full range of baby gear can be provided for minimal cost. With 2 bedrooms, a den and 2.5 bathrooms, The Modage can easily accommodate six guests. Best of all, it’s located right in the heart of Kitsilano, one of the most desirable areas ofVancouver.
If you or your friends are planning to come to Vancouver in December 2009 or January 2010 and would like to stay at The Modage, please mention this offer and we will discount the rate by 15%.
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season,
Shana, Lesley and Jennifer

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!!
