Hi there,

We bought one each time we went to Canada when DD was small as it is cheap as dirt to buy one over there. Trust me, taking one with you will be nothing but a hassle. As you have family there though sure they can arrange it for you. : )

Btw the bassinet was awesome for us when we first came to Aus and dd was 3 months but not going to request one when we travel over to Canada or Vietnam as this one will be 7 months old. If anything I would request one and then if you do not need it, don't use it but at least the option is there.

Good luck and happy travels. I love love love to hear about people taking their young ones travelling. You will have a ball. xx
