Planning a family trip and not sure whether to book a hotel or rental? You’re not alone.

As a mom of two and frequent traveler, Dana Abraham knows the difference between a trip that works for your family and one that falls apart by bedtime. After one too many stays that looked great online but failed in real life, Dana started asking better questions. Questions like: Is there enough space for a stroller? Are there blackout shades? Does it even feel safe with toddlers?

In this episode, Dana shares how rethinking the way we choose where we stay can reduce stress, save time, and help the whole family adjust better while traveling. We also talk about balancing convenience with comfort, how to know when it’s time to leave a place early (yes, really), and what to consider before clicking “book.”.

Just a few of the questions we covered in this episode:

  • What should I look for in a hotel when traveling with toddlers or babies?
  • Is it better to stay in a hotel or vacation rental with young kids?
  • How can I make traveling with kids less stressful and more enjoyable?
  • What baby gear should I rent instead of packing for a family trip?
  • How do I keep my baby’s sleep schedule while on vacation?
