Traveling with kids is awesome – taking all the baby/kid gear is not awesome.
THUNDERBOLT CONCEPT!: Rent your baby/kid gear! No more hauling of highchairs and jamming in jumperoos.
When we go to France, we have needed carseats & boosters, strollers & highchairs – and thankfully family has sourced it all out for us each time…but I can tell you – not packing those everyday must-haves are awesome. If you don’t have family at your destination – renting the gear is the way to go.
In Canada, you can google (google is such a great verb) a site like http://www.weetravel.ca/ – which is all about renting baby and kid gear.
