Up-and-comer offers advice from other parents

Jen Leo:

Trekaroo (www.trekaroo.com) aims to answer the parental cry for a more family-oriented, review-centric travel site.

What works: When it comes to traveling with kids, sometimes the only people moms can trust for advice are other moms. Trekaroo is focused solely on family travel and offers tips, hotel reviews and destination information for children of all ages.

It's well on its way to becoming the Yelp.com of family travel. Users can dive into the latest reviews from the home page or look for what other parents (and some kids) have said about the hotels, theme parks, zoos and other attractions they've visited.

Two features are especially convenient for time-stretched moms and dads - the age filter that allows you to amend your search results to a specific age range and the amenities search for a quick look at accommodations with cribs, adjoining rooms, child care programs, laundry facilities and more.
