He's sleeping smooshed up against it right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2088334 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:53:28 +0000 LuLu Mom 2088334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the same one as @sorrycharlie, the pool noodle did not work to keep LO contained. She likes to sleep right up next to the rail (she did this in her crib too) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2088257 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 10:21:27 +0000 purrpletulips 2088257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't use anything but both DD and DS stayed where they started when sleeping; we'd just put them closer to the wall and find them pretty much in the same place in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2088174 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:38:10 +0000 wonderstruck 2088174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Yep, this was true for us too. Often he ends up sleeping with his head pushed against the mesh, he'd topple off with a pool noodle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2088139 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:13:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 2088139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olivia throws herself around, so we will be getting a bed rail… I asked on Facebook and here, and this one has gotten pretty good reviews from people I know. </p> [attach=1296/15/nkfouh.338x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2088114 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:01:32 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2088114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rail here as well. LO is too much of a mover in bed and really likes to be up against the wall or the rail, so the pool noodle wouldn't work for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2088109 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 09:00:05 +0000 Alivoo01 2088109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is a heavy roller and will sit up then plop back down in any direction so a pool noodle wouldn't work for us. We'd have to get a rail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2088023 Fri, 27 Feb 2015 07:43:38 +0000 looch 2088023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've tried everything, the foam wedges, the pool noodles, the only thing that works is a mesh rail, because my son ends up sleeping horizontally in the bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2087648 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 20:45:52 +0000 littleveesmommy 2087648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used these foam wedges for DD1's bed and love them! They slip under fitted sheets and have no problems staying in place. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/HF-602-Honest-Foam-Inch-Wedge/dp/B00B72JOQQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/HF-602-Honest-Foam-Inch-Wedge/dp/B00B72JOQQ</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2087569 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:41:57 +0000 regberadaisy 2087569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use a rail because honestly I'm confused as to how a noodle keeps them from rolling/falling off?! It's like a swimming noodle, right? There's no depth to it? My child also gets up in the middle of the night, while asleep, and moves around her bed. I feel safer with a rail up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2087561 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:35:38 +0000 creativemomma15 2087561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our DS's crib turned into a full bed but with the box spring and mattress it sits really high so we bought a cheap bed rail to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2087539 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:16:26 +0000 mrsjyw 2087539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use pool noodles! Rail doesn't fit our bed! Works just fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2087529 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 19:03:53 +0000 MsMini 2087529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried without any kind of rail and 7 months later he still has yet to roll out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2087465 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 18:15:08 +0000 .twist. 2087465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AH! This thread has totally give me the genius (ha!) idea to use a pool noodle. LO's bed is a crib that converts to a toddler bed and then a full double bed. Although, the rail for the toddler bed is so short, I actually wonder why they even bothered because there's no way it would keep our guy in. </p> <p>A pool noodle is the best of both worlds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2087398 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 17:30:00 +0000 NovBaby1112 2087398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used a pool noodle and it's kept LO in perfectly fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pool-noodle-or-temporary-bed-rail#post-2087385 Thu, 26 Feb 2015 17:22:16 +0000 winniebee 2087385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>T is finally climbing out of his crib at 2.9 years. His crib converts to a full bed so we are doing that. It will be up against one wall. On the other should we use a pool noodle (soft bumpers) or temporary bed rail? We have carpeting, if it matters. </p>
