Jet Set Babies
Ever fly back home or go on a vacation and wish you didn’t have to hassle shopping for and bringing along enough baby supplies to get through a week long vacation? Isn’t it a pain to have to send family members to the store to find just the right brand of food, the right size diaper, and the formula that her baby would drink? We would like to tell you about an amazing service called Jet Set Babies! Find out more about Jet Set Babies and how you can get a special Expat Parent discount.
Jet Set Babies is a shipping service aimed at helping parents traveling with toddlers and babies. JetSetBabies.com will ship baby essentials (diapers, food, formula, wipes, bibs, changing pads, etc.) to wherever your travel plans take you, and will time it so that it arrives just prior to you. Not only will they take care of shipping the package at just the right time, but they will also track it, get a visual confirmation of its arrival, and e-mail you back to let you know it’s there and waiting for you! Online grocers abound, but this service is unique in that they have figured out the logistics of shipping to hotels, resorts, condos, and other travel destinations. And you can order any time, even months in advance.
Increasingly tighter airlines limits on the size and weight of luggage make it hard to pack a week's worth of diapers, formula, swim pants, and baby food. And the last thing travel-weary parents want to do when they are on vacation is go hunting for a grocery store that may not even carry the brands their children are accustomed to.
“New parents don’t realize how much packing is involved in traveling with little children,” says Boggio, “Once they see how much room a week’s worth of diapers, wipes, food, bibs, and all the other stuff takes up, it is real easy to see why so many people choose to ship the consumables ahead whenever they can. We get a lot of business from customers taking family vacations in Florida, especially on Disney cruise ships. When you’ve got a baby it’s tricky enough, but add in a toddler sibling still in diapers, and you really have to look at every way possible to free up your hands -- and one less suitcase to carry is a significant advantage!”
JetSetBabies will be getting a face-lift in the near future and their line of products will expand to include every conceivable brand of food, formula, and a wide selection of sun-blocks for babies. They also can special-order nearly anything you need that you don’t see on their site. Parents have long known the advantages of renting baby accessories at their destination. Now JetSetBabies can help them lighten their load and make their vacation more enjoyable and hassle-free. For more information, go to www.jetsetbabies.com.
