My husband designed this nifty travel divider that will create a “wall” for a crib/playpen while in a hotel. Our son is a light sleeper so we needed something that would allow him to go to sleep but we could still stay up past 8:00pm. The divider helped so much that he was able to nap and sleep, and were able to sit in a dark room with our computers on (hello facebook time) or in my case I worked (hello life of a freelancer, vacation, I heard about those once) till we were ready for bed!
The room divider is made with PVC (longest pieces are 2.5′), a shower curtain, and shower rings. This was our first design but you can add elbows to make be an L shape as well. It sets up in 2 minutes and fits in a small VW Golf!

A few pictures of the divider and behind the divider. Sorry for the bad photos, it was the end of the vacation while we were packing to come home (you all know that feeling!).
This is so awesome!!! I was looking into buying one and they are so expensive. My one year old sleeps great unless she sees us. I used a sheet before but great idea!!
Brilliant! I found this when googling travel room dividers exactly for this reason!
Kristi – you mention they are expensive to buy but I can’t find anywhere selling something similar. Where could you buy something like this?
Hi I came across your great idea as we are preparing to share a one-room hotel room with our toddler. We definitely need her to be or feel like she’s in a separate space where she can’t see us or she’ll never sleep. We won’t have time to build so it dawned on me just to use our expandable garmet rack on wheels ($16 from target). I’ll use two of them and hang my extra shower or blackout curtains! Thanks for the inspiration!
