Smart Marketing: Baby Gear Co. Offers “Avoid Bag Fee” Rentals

January 25, 2010 | Posted in: Airline News,Travel Tips

smart marketing baby gear avoid bag fees rentals

Now this strikes me as something more and more companies will be doing – if they’re smart – and that’s marketing to families as a way to save on airline bag fees (see my fee chart for the latest).

It’s also a way of saving your aching muscles from lugging a lot of stuff through the airports during your vacation.

Case in point: A company called Babies-n-Town based in the Florida panhandle is offering baby equipment rentals in West Panama Beach and locations in Bay, Walton and Okaloosa counties, featuring name brand products like cribs, strollers, car seats, even baby gates. They also rent bikes.

    I cannot speak for all of the airlines, but many of them do not count car seats and strollers as part of the luggage allowance.

    Jeff,

    True enough, and that’s a good reminder, but I’ve seen families carting all kinds of stuff, that will add to the overage.

    Thanks for writing!
    Rick

    When you are traveling to places other than Florida, you can check http://babytravelpros.com for other baby equipment rental companies. The companies associated with Baby Travel Pros agree to abide by safety and cleanliness standards because they are committed to making travel easier for families with young children. Many of the companies will deliver directly to the airport or car rental counter. They also set up full-size cribs at hotels, rental homes, and relative homes. Some of the companies will even deliver your baby formula, diapers, baby and toddler food and snacks, and more! Baby equipment rental companies are making travel much easier and affordable!
