HOW TO HIRE BABY EQUIPMENT

If you’ve already bought a bigger car (and possibly even a trailer) to cater for your little one, then a road trip shouldn’t be too much of an issue in terms of fitting everything you need into your car – as long as you don’t have three other kids and a dog! However, we all know that extra baggage on a plane costs money and there’s a limit to how much of it you can take with you.

Companies like Babylite (visit www.babylite.co.za) cater specifically for this dilemma. You can rent camp cots, prams, playpens, high chairs, safety gates, baby monitors, and so on from them for the duration of your stay – you know the drill of what you need by now. Similar companies include The Travelling Baby (www.thetravellingbaby. co.za), for those holidaying in Durban, and Baby Exchange ( www. babyexchange. co. za), for anyone planning a trip to Cape Town and Johannesburg or Pretoria. Knysna Baby Equipment Hire ( www. knysnababyequipmenthire. com), provides baby equipment hire and rental service to Knysna, George, Plettenberg bay, Sedgefield and the wider Garden Route area of South Africa.

And while all major car rental companies do hire out baby and car seats, if you’re a frequent flier and car hirer why not consider investing in a Gobooster (www.gobooster. co.za) instead – the world’s only inflatable, high-backed car booster seat. Lightweight and compact, it fits into your handbag without any hassle.
