Tampa International Airport Service Helps Parents With Young Kids
Have any plans for travel coming up? And do you have young children?
Check. And check. Well, Tampa International Airport has a new rental company that may be of help to you. The service they are offering at TPA is aimed at helping families with little kiddos.
Our friends at ABC Action News got the scoop.
There’s nothing like this new service anywhere. It’s called Our Little Suitcase.
What is your “transition” like when you are traveling with your kids? In other words, how do you maneuver them from airplane mode to vacation mode? It can be tough.
Of course, two parents came up with this plan. Keith and Becky Buckingham (who are married) started a business together where they rented baby equipment to families visiting at the beach.
“We knew it was going to work because we know the demand,” said Keith told ABC Action News. Now they are offering these types of rentals to families as soon as they arrive so they can have an enjoyable time visiting Tampa Bay.
“The big thing is the car seats. A lot of the car rentals don’t have guaranteed rentals,” said Tara Jeanetti, who flew with her husband and two kids.
The Buckinghams are already thinking about growing their business and expanding to other airports.
