Plain and simple,
the answer was, ‘NO’. As much as she loves to travel,
Australia to Vancouver is a long way and my sister is a creature of
comfort. Packing the Bugaboo stroller, the pack and play, and endless
toys did not appeal. Was I seriously going to miss out on my nephew
growing up because of baby equipment hassles?
The answer hit me
like a tonne of bricks one day. I would leave my well-paid film
production job and start a baby equipment rental company in Vancouver. I
would only purchase high-end equipment, the kind that my family would be
happy to use (such as my sister's beloved Bugaboo stroller) and I
would select items that were both stylish and practical. And so the
birth of Petite Passengers Baby Equipment Rentals...for my sister's
benefit and for other traveling families too.
Sister dear
finally paid me a "surprise" visit a few months back. I went
to the airport to pick up my parents for their two week vacation and was
completely dumb-founded to see my sister and little blondey toddling
along. He was here for both his first birthday and his first word
("wa-wa" meaning "he-llo") and of course he put all
of Petite Passenger's equipment to the test.
The lengths we go to, to make
international travel with a baby easier!
Paige, Petite Passengers,
