Safety of Hotel Cribs
Some hotels, I have found, are very baby friendly. They have amenities or services that are not normally available in other hotels to help, us, parents adjust and cope during our family travels. Some have baby stroller rentals, Babysitting services and/or offer cribs and high chairs for your use.

However, apart from the above extras, we also need to take note of other details. Just like what we did to our homes, it is also imperative that baby proofing is done to our temporary abodes to prevent accidents.

The first thing we (my husband and I) normally do is to go down in all fours to check the room. We give special attention to electric outlets, the window, the balcony door, the tables and bed edges and the toilet by securing them using a kit which we always bring along. If, god forbid, we forget our little toolbox, we do a McGyver and use tape.

Of course, we also make sure that little things lying around are taken away.

Another concern is the crib. Apparently, as proved by NBC, one must not always assume that having a crib in the room is safe. Check its safety, as well.

What about you? How do you baby proof your hotel room?
