When traveling with a toddler and visiting friends, grandparents, or other relatives, it is important to make their home a safety zone to minimize the dangers in your child’s environment. Toddlers, especially, are curious and fast, so you’ll want to think one step ahead.

Here, some precautions to consider:

• Bring safety gates.
• Use a crib or play yard. 
• Be mindful of medicines.
• Keep your eyes peeled for choking and suffocation hazards.
• Bring a car seat and use it every time your baby rides in a vehicle.
