Soaring Airline Fees Hurt Traveling Families

PRLog (Press Release) – Jun 02, 2008 – Increased airline fees are targeted at those who can least afford them, young families.  Travel BaBees, Inc, a full service national baby equipment rental company with locations throughout the United States, has seen a drastic increase in demand since airlines announced more stringent baggage policies.

As airlines increase fees and baggage restrictions, charging upwards of $50 for the second checked bag and some even tacking on fees for the first checked bag, traveling families struggle to affordably transport the essential infant and children’s gear.  Area managers for Travel BaBees are already reporting increased inquiries and sales.  

"As a mom who enjoys traveling, I know that there are certain must-haves when traveling with young children," said Vanessa Chestang Reed, owner and co-founder of Travel BaBees, Inc.  "The airlines are forcing parents to choose between the comfort of their children and their wallets.”  Travel BaBees has seen a 30% increase in sales since these recent announcements.  

Travel BaBees offers a wide variety of popular name brand infant, toddler, and children's items such as cribs, strollers, car seats, toys and so much more, eliminating the need to pay for checked bags and overweight or oversized items only to worry about them getting lost or damaged.  The equipment is delivered directly to the customer often before they arrive at their destination.  

Travel BaBees, Inc. is a full service, fully insured baby equipment rental and supply company headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area with locations throughout the United States.  For more information, please visit: http://www.TravelBaBees.com
