How about a test drive?

Buying any large piece of baby equipment is a big deal. Here’s the vibe on a great local resource to help you test drive big ticket baby equipment items so that you know you have the right fit for you and your family.

What it is

Calgary mom Stacey started One Tiny Suitcase, Calgary’s premier baby equipment rental company, in 2006. The company carries top quality baby equipment for short and long term rentals in Calgary and Banff.

Why we like it

We first found about One Tiny Suitcase when we were moving to Calgary. Running late for the airplane trip to Calgary, we decided to leave behind our toddler’s car seat in the car. When we arrived at our Calgary hotel, we were referred to One Tiny Suitcase. The service was exceptional. To our delight, a car seat in immaculate condition was speedily delivered to our hotel. We could in turn, legally and safely travel around Calgary to look for homes.

But, One Tiny Suitcase’s scope reaches far beyond outfitting visitors with baby equipment. If you are looking for a stroller, high chair, car seat, crib and other big-ticket baby gear, but would like to do some thorough research before you drop a few bucks, we suggest renting from them. Here, you can rent for as long as you want to see if you really like the item. For instance, you can see if your bambino likes sitting in the stroller, or see if you even like pushing it!

Curious about jogging strollers? Here, you can test drive a Chariot or Zooper for only $15 a day. Bundle junior up and hit the trails. See if one of these strollers can be a perfect fit for your family.
It may cost you a few dollars to rent, but it can save you hundreds from buying a stroller, taking it home, having it for a few days and finding out that your child hates being in it!

For new moms, One Tiny Suitcase rents out MEDELA Symphony breast pumps – it’s hospital grade, you can do single or double pumping, and the bottles are BPA free.
