By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: I am going on a trip in a few weeks with my 1-year-old. Do you have any hints for child-proofing a hotel room?

Dear Wanda: Traveling with a toddler can be stressful without having to worry about your hotel room. Here is some advice on child-proofing while traveling:

-

Pack outlet plugs. They are small and don't take up a lot of space.

-

If there is a window or sliding door, make sure it locks securely.

-

Tie up loose cords, such as curtain pulls. Hair ties work well for this.

-

Unplug and store electrical appliances. Most hotels provide hair dryers
and coffee makers. Store them out of reach when not in use.

-

Cover sharp edges with washcloths and tape.

-

Remember, children are curious, and a hotel room is a new place to explore. Check with your hotel. Some now offer child-proofing kits for use while there.
