christa Posted August 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for travel bed rails for 3 year olds? I will be on 7 day Carnival Dream with 3 year old twin boys in September. We are a little leary of letting them sleep on the sofa bed without falling off, anyone had success with the blow up travel bed rails and would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

sherezada Posted August 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2013 We just came off the Freedom of the Seas (Royal Caribbean), and the bed rail that comes with the bunk bed was enough for my 3-year-old. But then again, he doesn't move much. Are your kids big "sleeping tumblers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christa Posted August 5, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yes, they do move around quite a bit. I have read that we may be able to turn the sofa bed around on Carnival, but not sure about this. Also, they do not sleep well together and I read that the pullman has a rail and using it with ladder and a bunch of pillows for one of the boys too. I am just not sure and thought I should go ahead and purchase some sort of travel bed rails. May just wind up throwing a mattress on the floor! Thanks for your reply : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 5, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Some folks will use a swim noodle....you know...those foam things kids take in the pool? That could fit quite nicely under the fitted sheet and create a "curb" on the outside of the bed. They don't weight much....could be folded to fit around the perimeter of your largest suitcase.

Julie Jean Posted August 5, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hi Just back from the Eclipse with a 1 year old and 2 year old. I took the BabyDan Sleep n Safe Bedrail for the 2 year old. It folded well for travel and worked brilliantly Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khm1 Posted August 5, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have used inflatable bed rails from OneStepAhead dot com. You put them under the bottom sheet. We used this when DD was 3 and had not problems with her rolling out of bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 6, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Carnival Dream does not have a couch that you can turn around. It has bolsters at the back that the remove and put a mattress on top if it. this was our cove balcony on Dream: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbsmama Posted August 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Another fan of the One Step Ahead inflatable bed rail. We used it on my DD's pull down bed on Carnival Fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christa Posted August 6, 2013 Author #10 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ok thank you for the recommendation and the photo of the sofa/bolsters. It really helps. I may go ahead and invest in the one step ahead as I think we will get a lot of use out of it. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JinxyB Posted August 6, 2013 #11 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I have the inflatable bed rail from One Step Ahead and use it all the time in hotels, cruises, etc. I used it on the Dream for my 2 year old but he slept in the regular bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
