Traveling with kids and staying in hotels, vacation rentals or someone’s home can be a new adventure for little ones, but it can also be a bit overwhelming for parents. There’s so much for your children to investigate, but it might not be exactly safe for them to explore everything in arm’s reach.

The good news for you? There are some simple steps you can take to make your family vacation safe and fun for everyone—no matter their age.

We’ve put together some tips to keep your family safe when traveling away from home.

Before you go

保持药物和维生素在原来的childproof packaging.虽然它可能更容易，并在行李箱中节省一些空间，但将药物扔进Ziplock袋子中可以使孩子更容易访问它们。

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year近60,000名5岁以下的儿童去急诊室，因为他们不受监督时吃或喝了药物。在这些访问中，近70％是2岁以下的儿童。

The CDC has these recommendations to keep children safe from accidentally swallowing medications:

Keep medications somewhere safe and out of their reach or sight.
服药后，safely store它离开了。
切勿让孩子独自享用药物。
如果您要呆在某人的家中，请要求他们将任何药物都无法触及您的孩子，包括钱包，外套和低橱柜。

Make sure vaccinations are up to date.疫苗接种for both you and your children are important. Check in with your doctor and your child’s doctor to make sure you’re up to date on all your shots. If you’ll be traveling overseas, ask what additional vaccines may be required.

如果您的孩子迷路或分开准备。没有父母想象失去孩子直到发生。从衣服架到内部主题公园的后面，孩子们会瞬间迷路。以下是您可以准备孩子的一些方法：

一起练习您的电话号码。
如果您的孩子还太年轻，请找到一种将联系信息附加到他们的方法，无论是手镯还是临时纹身。
在您访问的每个位置指定会议点。
Explain why it’s important to stay in one spot until you find them.
提醒他们不要与他们不认识的人一起离开，即使该人提供帮助。
练习大喊您的全名而不是“妈妈”或“爸爸”。

打包子锁，插座保护器……甚至胶带。虽然您的房子在安全方面可能是诺克斯堡，但别人的家（确定您的租金或酒店）可能不是。

如果您想避免在度假期间对孩子的一举一动，这是一个好主意，最好携带一些安全工具来确保您的位置babyproofand childproof. You can either pack child locks and outlet protectors or you can go a little lighter and pack rubber bands and duct tape—yes, duct tape! Rubber bands can quickly go on to hold cabinet doors closed and duct tape can be used to childproof outlets, light switches, cords and even sharp corners.

Ask aboutcar seatsand booster seats.根据您孩子的年龄和体重，他们需要在移动的车辆中扣在汽车座椅上。如果您无法随身携带它们，请与您的租车公司或与您在一起的人进行检查，以确保您的孩子被覆盖。

Consider packing your own supplies.想一想使您的孩子在家或外出快乐的事情，并带上这些东西，例如最喜欢的婴儿毯子或书籍，baby carrier，护理枕头，小吃和玩具。如果您做好了准备，那么您的孩子将更加满意。

住在某人的家

Whether your host has kids or not, here’s a quick checklist for ensuring your family members are safe in someone else’s home.

Do a sweep of the home.到达时，请评估该区域，并询问您访问期间可以牢固地放置的化学物质，药物和脆弱物品。

如果您的主人没有一个便携式婴儿床或便携式床栏。This is a must if you have a baby or little one who moves around a lot at night.

在楼梯周围保持安全。If your host has a two- or three-story home, consider ways to prevent your child from accidentally falling down the stairs. You can bring a lightweight travel barrier or consider a large, unscalable piece of furniture to block the entrance.

Remember to say, “Thank you.”It’s not easy staying at someone else’s home, nor is it easy for the host – especially if they don’t have children of their own. Remember to thank them for their hospitality and for making certain accommodations for your children. If possible, help remove any child safety measures you put in place during your visit.

Staying in a vacation rental

预订儿童友好的住宿。与小孩子一起旅行时，请确保您预订一个被列为家庭或儿童友好的地方。这可以帮助确保每个角落都没有潜伏的危险。

其他要问自己的事情：是否有很多楼梯，许多玻璃或锋利的边缘可能造成伤害？他们有便携式婴儿床，高脚椅和其他婴儿用品吗？是否有现场洗衣房？其他客人对他们的住宿有何评论？

看看他们是否有carbon monoxideand smoke detectors.While most vacation rental companies encourage hosts to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in their space, to test them regularly and make sure they’re listed in the description, they aren’t required. You can, however, filter out listings without them.

According to the National Fire Protection Association,an average of 1,450 fire deathsoccur every year in homes with missing or non-functioning smoke detectors. And every year, more than 20,000 Americans visit emergency departments, 4,000 are hospitalized and 400 die from CO exposure. While injury and death are rare, these are two simple items that can help ensure a safe stay.

Do a baby-proofing sweep.On arrival, do take your time to sweep the home to de-risk each area. Even if the home is kid-friendly, there could be some areas that need kid-proofing. This is the time to pull out that duct tape and rubber bands, put away any breakables and unplug any electronics when not in use.

Ask the host.如果您不确定自己的住宿或有疑问，请随时向主机发送消息。

Staying in a hotel

Check the hotel room before unpacking.Like with any visit, it’s important to do a check to make sure the room is child-proof. Make sure windows and doors are securely locked, no electric wires are exposed and cover any outlets, cabinets or doors.

Use the privacy door latch.如果您的孩子年纪大到可以伸出手，他们可以轻松地打开不需要的客人的门或为酒店的走廊休息一下。使用隐私门闩锁确保房间里的每个人的安全。

Review the escape plan for the hotel.当您进入房间时，请查看房间中发布的逃生计划。花点时间去看看，看看发生火灾时需要去的地方。

Got questions or concerns?Don’t hesitate to ask the hotel’s front desk for help.

Being prepared and knowing what to expect are two of the biggest things you can do to make your family travel smooth and fun. Not everything may go as planned, but your family will love seeing new places and meeting new people.

幸福的家庭旅行！
