Safety On The Go: Adding our First Alert Alarm to our Carry-On Bag

Thank you First Alert for sponsoring this post. Know CO!

Getting all packed up and ready to travel on a longer trip can be super stressful. We just embarked on our first European family adventure and I’m a bag full of emotions. Making sure I didn’t forget anything both in our checked bags or at home made me lose a lot of sleep recently. Besides turning off all our electronics and making sure our neighbor gets our mail, we added a few new products to our carry-on bags to make our trip as stress-free as possible.

Recently I learned more about Carbon Monoxide poisoning and immediately wanted to know how I could guarantee my family’s safety while we traveled and didn’t know what types of alarms or precautions were in place for monitoring CO.

What is carbon monoxide? Known as the silent killer, carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless deadly gas
that can be produced by any fuel-burning device. Sources of CO vary from a furnace to dryer vent, and the only way to detect CO in your home or hotel is by installing a CO alarm.

First Alert’s table top carbon monoxide alarm is the smallest, easiest way to add a sense of relief and safety while traveling to new places. This portable carbon monoxide alarm alerts you to any added carbon monoxide in your air, whether you’re in an Airbnb or hotel or even back at home. Since it’s portable, we’ve used it in our house in our living room and can easily pack it in our carry-on bags and take with us anywhere we go- including across the world!

I bet you can barely even see the First Alert- it’s on the table top behind our hotel’s living room. SO easy and completely unnoticeable.

Upon checking in to our new hotel, we set up our First Alert next to our beds and didn’t think about it until we packed up our bags to check out. It was the easy peace of mind ever!

Some of the features (which make it easy to travel with):

  • Built-In 10-Year Battery for 10 years of protection
  • LED Temperature Display
  • No installation needed
  • This portable tabletop CO alarm is perfect for traveling (it weighs almost nothing- seriously so light), and can easily be added to your bag to use in your hotel room or leave at your house so when you return you know what the CO is at while you’ve been away.

Adding First Alert’s Table Top alarm was the easiest way to protect my family and make our trip stress-free. Now if only the five extra pairs of shoes I wanted to bring were as light and easy to pack! 🙂

We’ve only been in Copenhagen for one day after our 10.5 hour direct flight and I can’t wait to explore more. I’m happy to say that once we set up on First Alert and took a long hot shower, we slept like babies and are ready to fully tackle the city.
