3 things that made flying home to Ireland for Christmas with a baby easier

You can fly home for Christmas with a baby and carry only the baby. Three things make that possible: a familiar place to sleep, a highchair at the family table, and a way to get out of the house. All three can be rented by the month in Ireland and delivered to your parents' door.

Last Christmas, families ordered from Boston, Los Angeles, Sydney and Perth. They landed, and the gear was already there.

Key facts

  • Rent by the month. The shortest rental is one month.
  • A Bugaboo Butterfly 1 is from €30 a month on a six-month term.
  • A Stokke Clikk highchair is from €13 a month on a six-month term.
  • A SNOO is from €90 a month on a six-month term.
  • A SNOO is €150 for a single month (reflects fixed logistics and cleaning costs)
  • Delivered is across Ireland and Northern Ireland, returns are free.

1. A familiar place to sleep

Sleep decides how the trip goes. A new house, a new time zone and a baby who will not settle make for a long Christmas.

The SNOO gives your baby the same sleep they have at home, in your parents' spare room. Laura rented one for a visit: "It was great to be able to stick to our routine in an atmosphere our baby is used to."

If you will be moving between houses, a travel cot or a Stokke Snoozi is lighter and easier to shift. Tell us your plan and we will suggest one.

2. A highchair at the family table

Christmas dinner needs a seat for the baby. A Stokke Clikk folds flat, cleans in a minute and sits at any table. It is waiting when you arrive, and it leaves when you do.

Hosts do not need to buy a highchair for ten days and store it for years.

3. A way to get out of the house

For the airport and the town, rent one stroller: the Bugaboo Butterfly. It folds in seconds and fits a small boot. We have the Butterfly 1 and Butterfly 2 for rent.

For family walks, take the Artipoppe carrier. Irish paths in December are wet and uneven, and a carrier goes where a pram cannot.

How it works

  1. Enter your products arrival date on the product page.
  2. We deliver to your desired address before you land.
  3. When you fly home, we collect it. Returns are free.

Less stress for everyone

Guests carry nothing through the airport. Hosts buy and store nothing. Everyone gets the first cup of tea without a list of things to sort.

Questions

What is the shortest rental? One month on several items reflects fixed processing and logistics cost in Ireland. However, return date is fully flexible via email or the prambee portal.

Can I rent just one item? Yes. Most families rent two or three.

What if my plans change? Message us and we will work it out. We are parents, we know plans change. 

Do you deliver to Northern Ireland? Yes, Prambee covers the full island of Ireland. 

Why rent instead of borrowing or buying? You get clean, safety-checked gear for exactly the weeks you need it, with nothing to store after, and no friction of market-place disappointment or risk.
