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.

So here’s to the traveling baby from a whole different perspective. You know how kids travel like crazy crawling across the floor- cold tiles, hard wood, scratchy carpet. Here’s the perfect solution to protect those rolly polly little legs - Leg Huggers. Agoo children’s wear has designed a fantastic line made from Bamboo so they are oh so soft and comfy. There are new boys’ designs coming out next month and a pretty line currently available for your little princess. For $10/pair that’s priced from the 80’s! Best of all, you don’t have to take any pants off when the diaper needs changing!!

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.

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!

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.

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!!
