We love the Trunki. You’ll love the Trunki and your kids will most definately love the Trunki. The Trunki is the world’s first ride-on suitcase. Your kids can pack it, sit on and ride it around the airport. Never again will you hear “my feet hurt, carry me”.
Specifically designed for kids 3-6 years old, this suitcase is made from the same durable plastic as adult suitcases. It’s roomy (18″x 7.9″ x 12″) and light, weighing under 4 lbs (sans toys, games and treats). It has an 18 litre capacity and easily stores in the overhead luggage compartment, or under the seat making it ideal hand-luggage for kids.
Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals (Toronto, Vancouver) is pleased to be one of the few Canadian retailers of the Trunki. We carry the all new upgraded version which comes complete with a carry handle, an internal pouch, “teddy-bear” seatbelts and much more.
The Trunki retails for about $70 CDN. Wee Travel will ship anywhere in Canada.

The holiday season is just around the corner. Visions (aka nightmares) of crowded airports, wailing children and mountains of luggage are already occurring far too often in our heads! Wee Travel Baby Equipment Rentals both sells and rents a few items that will surely make traveling with your young ones easier and safer.
The CARES Child Aviation Restraint attaches directly to the back of the airplane seat and augments the regular airplane seat belt by restraining the torso to the seat and not just the waist. It’s FAA approved, and is the only alternative to a carseat permitted on planes. Wee Travel rents it for $5/day and $25/week or you can purchase it for $85 plus shipping and tax.
The GoGo Kidz Travelmate is is a car seat attachment that allows the seat (and child) to be wheeled around the airport just as you would wheel a suitcase. It’s the perfect solution for parents who want bring a car seat on the plane, but are wondering how to manage carrying it through the airport. The gogo Kidz Travelmate fits most convertible and toddler seats. Wee Travel rents it for $5/day or $25/week.
The GoGo Kidz car seat protector travel bag accommodates most standard car seats. 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. It’s the perfect solution for parents who need a carseat at their destination. Wee Travel rents the car seat travel bag for $25/week and sells it for $50.

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.

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?
