The Perfect Bag For Your Mini World Traveller – Introducing Free Like Birdie

05/12/2014

I first came across Free Like Birdie via Twitter and our mutual love for an a quote from Joseph Campbell.  We were chatting about our views on travelling and I posted this quote:

I was reminded of our trip to Chicago last year and on our way to visit the Cloud Gate (aka the Giant Bean) we stumbled across the Crown Fountain.  It was a hot summer day and the draw to the water fountain were too much for a 3 year old to resist.  We were on foot and past the stroller stage, I was left storing sopping wet clothes in my purse – which also contained non water friendly items like my camera and phone!

I wish I had known then about Free Like Birdie. They provide parents with the right organizing accessories to make travel less overwhelming and more efficient.  The Quick Change Clothes is now my go-to travel bag instead of a leather purse!  It has 1 side for clean items and 1 side for dirty laundry. The pack is made of waterproof material that will keep in odor and moisture. Reusable and ecofriendly, these packs are great for travel, daycare, keeping in the car or just about anything. These packs are conveniently sized so that they can fit into most bags and have a handle with buckle so they can attach to a stroller. 

I have also used their On the Go Series, Weekender ($45). The Weekender is meant to provide an organized system of packing for a longer trip with your little one. I have been using it for our weekly swimming lessons. Everything starts out on the dry side, and then after his lesson when we visit the library I can put his suit and towel on the wet side, and still have a safe haven for his library books. I can’t wait to use it this summer when we start to visit the local splash pads, or for our trip to California (and the the Legoland Water Park!)

Free Like Birdie also gave me a Quick Change Diaper Pouch ($22).  It’s designed for shorter duration trips to organize your diapering essentials, keep them at your fingertips and contain unexpected messes. Since we’re past the diaper stage (woo hoo!) we’d like to give it away to one of our fans. All you need to do to enter is like both our Mommy Connections West Toronto and Free Like Birdie Facebook pages and comment below with your travel plans (if any) for the upcoming May long weekend! We will select our winner on Tuesday May 20, 2014.  Enter here: a Rafflecopter giveaway
