I try and take this thing everywhere with my toddler. It’s a perfect barrier for him as he loves to steam roll over me from side to side when he’s asleep. With this bed rail I don’t have to fear he’s going to fall off the bed when he rolls over the other side of me. If effectively stops him from falling every time! And it packs up perfectly in my checked bags for air travel. Plus it fits a variety of bed sizes, and it’s very lightweight too. Hardly adds any weight to my checked luggage, and I pack those suckers full! I’ve used it many times now and I definitely recommend it!
