If you’re a parent-to-be or just curious about how well your child’s safety seat is installed, drop by the Safe Kids Buckle Up Event at Kadel’s ICR at 5102 Chinden Blvd. in Boise. Certified car seat technicians will be on hand to perform free car seat checks and discuss motor vehicle safety. The event runs from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

We came across an interesting article about babyproofing a hotel room titled “Step by Step: Babyproofing a Hotel Room.”

As parents, we loved the recommendations since they follow a lot of our in-home evaluations.  While we have yet to find a hotel with babyproofed rooms, asking for a play yard or portable crib (like the Pack N Play) is a good idea. It gives you a chance to keep your little one in a safe zone while packing, unpacking or other activities.

Do you have other ideas or recommendations for travel and keeping baby safe?
