In today's episode we are providing a list of easy ways to use boring old sticky tape to baby proof a hotel room or a short term apartment rental. We have had plenty of experience baby proofing in a hurry while trying to make a new space safe for a very active toddler. Hopefully you can benefit from our hard won experience.
Child proofing can be a complicated process and there is an abundance of baby proofing supplies for sale to help you make your place safe for your little ones. It does not give perfect results but we will show you how you can get a surprisingly good result with nothing but a little common sense and a roll of tape, whether it be duct tape, painters tape, or whatever else you have to hand.
We will teach you our simple method for baby proofing cabinets, baby proofing drawers, covering a power plug and even dealing with a pesky lamp or electric kettle cord.
As an added bonus there are a few extra tips that should definitely be on your baby proofing checklist.
