Tots Travel Too at Marriott + Giveaway

Before I had kids, I used to love staying in hotels. There’s just something about the big, comfy beds (and knowing I don’t have to make it) and the feeling of “getting away” that is so relaxing and enjoyable about a hotel. However, I quickly learned that traveling with kids changes everything – and the hotel stay is no longer a carefree night away. In fact, it can be a big ol’ pain in the rear. But, Marriott is taking huge strides in making the littlest travelers feel welcome – and their parents more relaxed – with the Tots Travel Too program.

About Tots Travel Too

The complimentary Tots Travel Too program provides guests, upon request, with a travel crib and laundered COVERPLAY® removable crib slipcover to ensure their “traveler-in-training” can rest comfortably. For a bit of bath time fun, a complimentary gift comes with the COVERPLAY, an animal squirtie toy. In addition, parents who have forgotten to pack their tot’s essentials can contact the front desk for complimentary items, including outlet covers, nightlights, baby shampoo, and baby lotion, plus disposable bibs will be available in the breakfast areas.

More than anything, as a mom, I appreciate the sentiment behind the Tots Travel Too program. Providing extra comforts to families goes a long way in making everyone feel more comfortable. The complimentary bath squirtie toy and baby shampoo make wee ones feel at home and the outlet covers and nightlights help to kidproof a hotel room so parents can enjoy vacation, too.

COVERPLAY

One of the highlights of the Tots Travel Too program is the COVERPLAY travel crib slipcover. I love this idea because, let’s be honest, travel playards are convenient but they are not always good looking. They can be gender neutral or gender specific to a fault – boring or extra pink. The COVERPLAY crib slipcover (and optional matching crib sheet) can change the look of a travel crib or playard instantly.

The stylish women behind COVERPLAY have partnered with Marriott and designed an exclusive slipcover your tots can enjoy while staying at the Marriott family hotels. (The Play Yard Slip Cover is also available for purchase at Shop Marriott.)

You can follow the journey of COVERPLAY designers as they tackle the challenges of running a small business on the Tots Travel Too YouTube channel.
