Airplane seats and car seats come in different sizes. While the trend towards carseats with special safety features continues to grow, so too does the width of the carseats. Unfortunately, the width of airplane seats is not following this same trend, and many travelers are finding their carseats are wider than the airplane seat. One of the narrowest and lightest seats around is the Cosco Scenera. This convertible car seat can be used rear-facing from 5-30 lbs, and forward facing from 22-40 lbs. Weighing in at around 10 lbs, this seat is lightweight and bulk-free. With a width of 17.5 inches, it fits nicely into the average airplane seat (the narrowest Air Canada seat is 17.83”). Don’t have a Cosco Scenera? You can rent them from Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) for just $35/week.

So we think our Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals is a good concept (and so do our customers). Now here’s a company that’s taken the rent it concept one step further. Rentittoday.com is, if you will, the ebay of the rental world. Want to rent something anywhere in North America? Just go to rentittoday.com, enter the item you need and the city you need it in, and chances are, you’ll find it. Like beach towels in North Carolina, or dirt bikes in Yuma. With categories like real estate, sports and leisure, events, family, vehicles, electronics and tools, renting has never been this simple!

If you are planning a trip to Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics, here’s a great tip….pack light and enjoy the convenience of renting top-of-the-line baby gear from Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals. Have your rental item delivered to the location of your choice, or pick-up from the airport or our Kitsilano location.
Everything is in brand-new condition and meticulously cleaned. We are always worried about germs and this flu season we are washing anything that can’t go in the dishwasher or washing machine first with bleach and then with an antibacterial soap.
Contact shanac@weetravel.ca or 604.222.4722 to book your Olympic rentals.

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.

The other day I was walking by a parked car and something caught my attention. A kitchen booster (yes, the plastic ones you use for eating) was strapped into the back seat with the seat belt and was being used as the car seat. I waited around a while for the owner to come back but eventually gave up and continued down the street completely stunned and appalled. I’ve also seen a bouncy chair being used as a car seat. Different countries and even Canadian provinces have different car seat regulations. While some may balk at them, the regulations are there for good reason, and there is good reason to NEVER use a kitchen booster or bouncy chair in replace of a car seat. After all, isn’t your child the most precious of all cargo?
Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals has certified car seat installers on staff. Here are a couple of key things to remember to insure the safest, secure attachment of a car or booster seat:

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.
