These clever hacks will make family travel less of a nightmare.
1. If you’re worried your preschooler could fall off the high hotel room bed, roll up some towels and place them under the edge of the fitted sheet to create a barrier.
2. Look in the closet for skirt hangers (call down to housekeeping if you can’t find any) and use them to pin together those never-seem-to-fully-close drapes. A perfect naptime trick.
3. Stash a roll of duct or packing tape in your suitcase for on-the-fly babyproofing. Place a piece over each electrical outlet and even on the toilet to hold the lid down.
