If you are planning a family vacation or traveling to Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) with kids in tow, then consider Baby Equipment Rentals as a way to simplify the process. Winnipeg, also known as “the cultural cradle of Canada”, is home to a variety of significant architecture, award-winning musicians, and amazing festivals & cultural events. Karen Dunmall owner of Parentals, a child equipment rental company in Winnipeg, knows all to well how overwhelming travel planning becomes once babies and kids enter the equation…
Ah, the joys of traveling. Bags packed? Check. Tickets? Check. Book and little pillow? Check. Checked in and taxi called? Check. Time to relax and enjoy the trip!
Wait a minute – that was before kids. Scratch off the book and pillow, call the airline to make sure the lap child is on the reservation, and ask the taxi company for a minivan. Re-pack the bags to make sure there is room for the bottles, medicine, clothes, sippy cups, favorite teddy, shoes, sandals, hats, toys, books, presents for grandma, and maybe a pair of pants for yourself (you can make do with one, you think). Add another suitcase to the list of things to pay for at the airport because you forgot the humidifier, bumper pads, snow suit, boots, music player, favorite blanket and booster chair. Whew. Now, get the car seats into the taxi, add the stroller and bags, and oops, almost forgot the kid!
It is always amazing how much stuff kids need, and especially when they are traveling. The idea of jumping on the plane to visit grandma or go on vacation always seems great but then the reality of traveling with kids sets in. It is a lot of work.
However, there are now baby equipment rental companies like Parentals (www.parentals.ca) in Winnipeg, Manitoba to make traveling a little easier. Instead of hauling car seats from coast to coast, or bringing toys, bedding, strollers, and booster chairs from home, the option to rent baby gear is in most major cities across Canada and in fact worldwide. Grandma can rent a full-sized crib just like home so that the little ones sleep better, and are contained in a perhaps not child-proofed room like Grandma’s den. With all of the crib and stroller recalls lately, borrowing from friends or getting items second hand may no longer be the safest option. So make life a little bit simpler and rent what you need for baby.
Parentals opened in July 2009 with new, safe and clean furniture and gear to rent for baby. We carry everything from car seats to strollers, booster chairs to cribs, and everything in between. People traveling to Winnipeg, grandparents expecting an exciting visit from their grand kids, and also Winnipeg parents either expecting a new baby or those with kids travelling abroad have all rented baby gear from Parentals. We also just launched our Winnipeg Children’s Activities Calendar, which lists all the things to do with kids in Winnipeg. We post on Facebook when there is a new addition to the calendar, so our Facebook fans always know of exciting things to see and do with kids in Winnipeg.
So, if you are coming to Winnipeg to experience our friendly Canadian hospitality, enjoy our authentic winter, jump in our many gorgeous lakes or fish some of our best kept secrets, call Parentals to help make your journey with kids easier and your stay more enjoyable.
