Recently we took a ski trip with the twins (and brought a nanny – more on that later). Our return trip was a long travel day filled with delays. The girls did great thanks to a creative mom (see picture below – patting myself on the back here) and lots of snacks!

I have been woefully truant on my blog – chalk it up to summer vacation, end of summer, etc. My apologies to all my readers (all two of you). Anywho – I want to pass on my most recent find, Stay-Put Inflatable Bed Rail Set by One Step Ahead. I had been looking for some sort of compact travel bed rail. Everything I found was big, metal, bulky, or only included one inflatable bed rail (umm last time I checked there were two sides to a bed). I initially had purchased some metal – “portable” bed rails – which SUCKED! One of the girls fell out of bed – just rolled the darn thing right over.
That's a 12 inch ruler for scale purposes
Then I found Stay-Put Inflatable Bed Rail Set by One Step Ahead on Amazon.com. (Chorus of Angels!) First what’s so great is the set includes two – I know a set should be at least two items. They have their own little pump and blow up in a snap. There is nothing big and bulky about them, the set and pump fit in a nice little bag. You just blow them up, put the rail (more like a speed bump) under a fitted sheet and it stays in place – there is some nonslip fabric on the rail to aid in keeping it in place.
Just so you know, no one is paying me to write about this product – all on my own research, trial and error, bought them with my own dime etc.
