More than 160,000 square feet of space (that’s nearly the size of three football fields) of the Las Vegas Convention Center was recently filled with exhibitors at the 2017 International Travel Goods Show. The annual show is when all the new and updated travel goods are introduced to the market. I had the pleasure—and exhausting job—of attending and finding some awesome gadgets and gear for the traveling family.

Door Knob Alarm by Travelon

The Travelon Door Knob Alarm packs a lot of peace of mind for the traveling family (including those with explorative little ones who may be a naptime “flight risk”!).

As many families move away from traditional big brand hotels for option such as Airbnb and similar vacation rental services, they need to recognize that one of the amenities they might be giving up is security. There is a major incentive for hotels to keep their guests and their guests’ property safe . That’s why there are cameras, security guards, and timed door locks, things you will likely not find at Joe Schmoe’s rental. This is where Travelon’s Door Knob Alarm becomes invaluable. It vibrates and alarms with a high-pitched noise when attached to a door that is touched or opened. Unlike similar devices on the market, Travelon’s alarm includes a small flexible band to help secure the alarm regardless of the style of door handle.
