I will be traveling with my almost 3 yr old and staying one night in a hotel. She will have her own double bed. I can sleep with her, oy, but she moves a lot so I will be in my bed. My question is, how can I make sure she won't roll out of the bed while we are there? She sleeps in her own big bed at home, but it's the top bunk of bunk beds put on the floor, so it has slats to keep her in all around. She's not used to open sides. When we traveled last week she slept on the floor on a camping mattress and kept rolling onto the floor. I had to keep putting her back in. No problem, but I'm afraid she'll really bonk her head. Any thoughts?

When we travelled with our children at that age and stayed in hotels, we pushed the bed up against the wall, and put a bed guard (we brought it with us) along the other side.

We used a pac and play for a long time with traveling with children who liked to wallk around when they shouldn't or fell out of bed. we have also put extra pillows on either side of them and then put a blanket over all of it for the toddler to sleep on top of. We pput the blanket oveeer the pillows so that the toddler wouldn't push the pillows off the bed or end up under them.

My dd is 2, so she is probably smaller than your dd, but most hotels offer complimentary cribs. You can ask. They are little roll away cribs...that are small enough to fit between the two beds or at the end of one of the beds. My dd has plenty of room in there though.

Push the bed against the wall. On the other side place 2 chairs with their backs against the side of the bed.

I would push it up against a wall and bring a bedside guard as well. Would she sleep in a pack n play possibly? Or could you get a room with a king size bed so she would have plenty of room to move without possibly bothering you?

Moving the bed is a good plan, but be sure to have a back up if decide to go that way. Not all hotel beds can be moved. some are attached to the floor.

Most of the beds, though, in a hotel are anchored to the floor. The base is immovable in my experience. She is too small for both the cribs and the pack and play. I do like the idea of the pillows and the blanket over the pillows.

I think you should just risk it.
A child can fall from a lot of things... the greatest possible risk would be maybe breaking an arm or getting a mild concussion - that doesn't stop you from letting her sit on chairs, climb play equipment or walk on a wet pool deck.
If she falls from a bed, chances are that you will pick her up, kiss her better, and go back to sleep. The risk of serious injury is too slight to be bothered with... at least, that's what I think when it comes to my own kids.

You could also place her sideways on the bed. She'd have to do a lot of moving to get to the end.

She is too SMALL? Is this just a typo? My little one has used a pack and play since birth, and the roll away cribs at the hotels since she was under 1 year. (We have had to travel a lot because of her surgeries.)

I would either sleep with the child, bring a pack and play, or ask for a crib from hotel.
My granddaughter rolled off the bed at age 2 and broke her collar bone.

Oh yeah...someone reminded me of something. My cousin rolled off of my grandmother's bed twice and broke her collarbone both times... So, there is risk involved...not saying that it happens every time, but like everyone has said, you have to decide how much you are willing to risk it... Sometimes it can cause injury, sometimes it won't... With my dd, we use pillows to block her from rolling off on the rare occasion that she's not in her bed...but she doesn't move around much...
