Questions to Ask Before Booking

Important inquiries that can make or break your family vacation experience

What baby/toddler equipment is provided?

Ask specifically about cribs, high chairs, baby monitors, bottle warmers, and childproofing supplies. Knowing what's available saves you from packing bulky items.

What is the room/suite layout?

Request details about sleeping arrangements. Is there a separate bedroom or alcove where your toddler can nap while you enjoy some downtime?

Are there quiet areas/times for napping?

For hotels and resorts, ask if there are quiet zones or quiet hours that might facilitate nap time for your toddler.

What are the dining options for young children?

Inquire about kids' menus, high chairs, early dining times, and whether you can request simple foods that aren't on the menu.

What is the cancellation policy?

Plans change frequently with young children. Understanding the flexibility of your booking can save stress and money if you need to adjust your travel dates.

Parent-Tested Accommodation Tips

LT

Lisa T.

Mom of a 2-year-old

"We always request a room far from elevators and ice machines to minimize noise that might wake our light sleeper. Also, we bring painter's tape to childproof drawers and cabinets in hotel rooms and vacation rentals. It works perfectly and doesn't damage surfaces!"

Marcus R.

Dad of 3-year-old twins

"For vacation rentals, we always look at the photos carefully for glass coffee tables, decorative items at toddler height, and stairs without gates. We message hosts ahead of time to ask if they can remove breakables and provide baby gates. Most are happy to accommodate!"
