It's a common conundrum when traveling with young children: How to keep your little one from rolling out of bed when you're in a hotel or rental house?
Short of traveling with bed guard rails or a portable crib — taking up valuable space in your car or costing a fortune to check with the airline — keeping a kid new to a "big kid bed" actually in bed can feel impossible.
Enter the pool noodle — fun for the day, functional at night
Simply put it under the fitted sheet and that small bumper is enough to keep your little one from rolling off the bed.
@happiestmommyyouknow Here’s how you use a dollar store pool noodle to keep your toddler from rolling out of bed. ##momhacks ##familytravel ##kids ##parenthacks ##dollartree
The best part?
You can find a pool noodle at nearly any vacation destination near a body of water or at any dollar store, or if you're really in a pinch, any Target during the summer season, so you don't have to worry about packing it — or taking it back home.
This hack doesn't just work well for traveling with toddlers, it's great to use at home, too. It's affordable, it's simple, it's easy and it won't require disassembling anything when the time comes when your little one no longer falls out of bed.
You're welcome!
