Top Ten Tips to "Toddler-Proof" Your Vacation Hotel Room or Cottage From Dr. Harvey Karp, Author of Happiest Baby on the Block, Pediatrician, Researcher, Founder/Creator of The Snoo

NEW YORK, July 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

1. Crawl around the floor to find loose staples, plastic bits, buttons, coins.  Yes you! Get on all fours!  Imitate your baby!
2. Check sofa cushions for loose change
3. Close up any electric outlets with tape or little blank stoppers
4. Make sure your toddler can't pull over any heavy furniture, drawers, TVs
5. Hide any dangling cords (like curtain pulls) that can get around a child's neck
6. Put a bit of paper medical tape + a cotton ball over any sharp corners or hard metal/brick edges
7. Make sure the smoke alarms/fire extinguishers work and you have an exit strategy in case of fire
8. I like people to also have smoke hoods…(in case of fire, smoke is usually the biggest danger
9. Keep your Motrin handy (it is much better than Tylenol and the best dose is 10mg/kg…which is more than the label says to give)
10. Have the # and location of local hospital, doctor and friends nearby
