The death of 14-year-old Miller Gardner from carbon monoxide poisoning during a family vacation has sparked concerns among parents regarding hotel and rental safety. Although incidents of carbon monoxide poisoning in hotels are rare, experts suggest that bringing portable detectors might offer peace of mind. Not all U.S. states require rental properties to have CO detectors installed, which adds to the uncertainty. Pediatrician Dr. Joel Gator Warsh emphasizes the vulnerability of children to CO exposure and urges families to prioritize their safety while traveling.
"It's not paranoid if it gives you peace of mind," says Gator Warsh, the author of "Parenting at Your Child's Pace: The Integrative Pediatrician's Guide to the First Three Years."
