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.

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.

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 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?

Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria) now rents CARES - an innovative FAA approved restraint for kids that attaches directly to the back of an airplane seat and augments the regular seat belt by restraining a child’s torso to the seat, and not just their waist. It weighs only 1 lb and takes just a minute to install. You just need to ask the person sitting behind you to lower their tray so you can put the red strap around the seat back. You thread the airplane seat belt through the loops on the bottom, and adjust the straps, and you’re done. You child is safe, you can nod-off with ease, and you don’t have to lug a car seat around the airport solely to keep your child safe on the plane. Wee Travel sells them for $85 and rents them for $5/day or $20/ week. That’s a small price to pay for safety and convenience!
