Bugaboo Stroller Rentals/hire in Vancouver October 28, 2007
As a parent, you have undoubtedly seen the latest in celebrity-preferred deluxe strollers, The Bugaboo. Considered the “Rolls Royce” of baby transport, the Bugaboo is hard to miss with its array of 45 viabrant colours including hot pink, orange, denim, red and yellow. But setting parents back a cool thousand dollars, is the Bugaboo really worth the hype?
In a word, yes.The award winning 3-in-1 system means that the Bugaboo can be used from birth right up until baby no longer needs a stroller. Many parents use the detachable basinette as both a pram and as an early stage crib. My sister loved the fact that she could stick her arm out from under the bedcovers and rock the basinette when junior stirred, and her husband loved that the pram could be wheeled away when the comforting didn’t work (!).Once baby has reached 6 months, the Bugaboo basinette is clicked off and replaced with the bucket seat. The bucket seat can be used as both a seat and as a fully reclinable bed. As with the basinette, it can face forwards or backwards and comes with a sunshade that can be covered with a blanky for extra quiet nap times.More than just fashionable, the Bugaboo can go anywhere. It turns on a dime, and can be steered with one hand while mastering bumps, curbs, potholes, cracks, brick and cobblestone with complete ease. It also has more accessories that you can poke a stick at, including car seat attachments, transport bags, parasols, cup holders and foot muffs for those super cold days.Its cutting edge Norweigen design takes a little getting used to, as you really do have to read the assembling and disassembling instructions at least once. (My finace and I mistakenly thought we were stroller pros and didn’t need any briefing, only to find ourselves scratching our heads in wonderment whilst in the shopping centre parking lot. A quick s.o.s call to mother confirmed that we had missed one vital piece of information, those little white levers that unravel the whole ensemble).So what are the cons? To be honest, very little. Apart from the price, most parents I have been in touch with are goo-goo over the Bugaboo. A couple did mentioned that the Bugaboo doesn’t exactly fold down to a managable size and takes up a lot of room in the back of the car. Toting a Bugaboo when travelling overseas or on long distance travel can also be painful as the assembling/disassembling can be somewhat tiring.The perfect solution.So your family love the Bugaboo stroller and can’t be without it, but you are planning a trip to Vancouver and aren’t looking forward to lugging it with you. The perfect solution is right here at your doorstep. Petite Passenger’s Baby Equipment Rentals rents/hires Bugaboo Strollers to families visiting Vancouver, Canada. We can deliver a Bubagoo stroller right to your hotel or vacation property and pick it up once you have left.Petite Passengers Baby Equipment Rentals also rents out other high-end baby equipment such as car seats, cribs, highchairs, toys and more. (Rest assured that all of our equipment at Petite Passengers is in immaculate condition and sanatised with environmentally friendly products).For a complete list of our excellent baby gear please visit our website at www.petitepassengers.com or phone 604 780 9914.
Illegal car seats put children at risk, says safety group September 17, 2007
According to CBC news, many parents are putting their children at risk by purchasing cheaper and possibly inferior child carseats from foreign countries. David Duanne, director of provincial programs of B.C. Automobile Association Traffic Safety Foundation warns that parents “are looking for the best deals, and without knowing the facts, are buying child safety seats from south of the border, the U.K. and other countries”. Duanne explains that car seats purchased from outside Canada do not meet Canadian safety standards and are therefore illegal to use in Canada. Seats approved for use in Canada must meet the Motor Vehicle Restraint Systems and Booster Cushions Safety Regulations and appropriate Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. All Canadian approved car seats carry a Canadian maple leaf seal of approval that is prominently displayed on all child restraints and booster seats. Parents who fail to comply with the regulations may have non-approved car seats seized at the border or receive a $109 fine if found using the seat while driving.
Parent’s visiting from foreign countries are also advised to leave their foreign-purchased carseats at home and consider either purchasing or renting them during their vacation in Canada. Petite Passengers Baby Equipment Rentals provides an assortment of Canadian approved car seats in Vancouver, and can deliver them to your hotel or residence prior to your arrival. For added convenience, Petite Passengers also offers an airport pick up and delivery service which includes the use of age-specific child carseats and boosters.Petite Passengers is passionate about quality and only supplies high-end car and booster seats (such as Britax and Graco), all of which have been purchased brand new in 2007.
