Whether you are a first–time parent or a seasoned veteran, the thought of traveling for the holidays with your littles can throw you into a panic attack. Where will they sleep? Do you think they will nap? What if they escape their bed and wander around a strange house in the middle of the night?

These are probably just a few of the questions waking you up at 3am in a cold sweat in the first few weeks of December. That is, if you aren’t already up at 3am feeding the little ones, taking them to the potty, or saving them from a bad dream!

I was that parent too! It is one of the many reasons I created the Romp & Roost play yard. Because it can accommodate one baby, multiple babies or oversized toddlers, it is perfect to help ease your traveling fears. What makes it different than a regular Pack and Play? It is twice the size accommodating up to 70 lbs, has a removable divider, and a travel bag with wheels. The icing on the cake is our soft waterproof sheets. Guess who isn’t going to be awake at Grandma’s this year? You and your little ones!

Let Romp & Roost give us parents peace–of–mind during the hustle and bustle of the holidays knowing our little ones are safe and contained, and best of all, SLEEPING!

Happy New Year! The hustle and bustle of 2019 is in full swing!
By now, you are probably waist-deep in early mornings, loads of coffee, and after school activities like the rest of us. It’s exhausting just to wake up each day.

As moms, we are always on the go…we are constantly pressed to get the laundry done, make the beds, fix breakfast, lunch, and dinner, drive our kids to playdates and activities, and oh yeah, WORK! As if the household chores aren’t work enough?!?

At Romp and Roost, we are aware that life is busy and complicated. That’s why we wanted to create a product that doesn’t require too much thought or worry. Our kids are obviously our greatest priority, so why have to fret about where they play and sleep? Our cozy, easily transportable play yard with soft, waterproof sheet is high on comfort and low on anxiety. Check it out for your little ones, give yourself a mental break, and take back your mornings!

Meet the Romp & Roost. There hasn’t been such a multi-tasker since the Swiss Army knife. Hear me out. Two littles to put to bed? Divider up and babes down. Easy. Safe spot for your kiddo to hang while you try to figure out how you have rice cereal on your back in the shower? Done. (Take your time, that stuff dries like glue.) Not feeling the hotel-provided crib? Wheel in the Romp & Roost (that’s right, I said wheel!). This little gem has got you covered. At 54” long by 40” wide, the Romp & Roost is the size of two traditional pack and plays and can hold up to 70 pounds. (Note to self, consider putting tween in the Romp & Roost next time she rolls her eyes.) This product is seriously a game-changer. Developed by a mama who wanted something like this for her own children, and figured if it was something she was missing, it was likely that other families felt the same way. Don’t you love that?

I only wish this product existed when my own children were little. My daughters are exactly two years apart, and those early years were busy! We love to travel, and I like to think having a safe place for both kids to sleep together would have been much more relaxing than big sis between mom and dad while baby sleeps in the pack and play. Just a guess. I also would have loved to cook dinner without wondering why it was suddenly so quiet in the other room. Glorious piece of mind. Of course we all survived, but it all could have been simplified with this one simple product. Raising little people is hard enough, let the Romp & Roost lend you a hand!

Hello from Romp & Roost! We hope you are all well and staying healthy during this difficult time. We have a new normal we’re all trying to adjust to. So many people are working from home when they’re used to being out of the house. And so many day care centers are closed, which leaves a lot of families in the difficult position of trying to work while also having to care for their young children. We can appreciate how hard it is to be productive with little ones underfoot.

And we understand the importance of having a safe, designated area for kids to enjoy. Here at Romp & Roost we want to help. Did you know the Romp & Roost can safely hold 70 pounds? Did you know that our sheets, with or without our patented divider, are waterproof? Having a Romp & Roost for your little to play or rest in can offer you peace of mind during these unprecedented times.

So we’d like to offer you 15% off and FREE SHIPPING with the code TOGETHER.

Because we’re all #hometogether right now. From our Romp & Roost family to yours, be well, stay safe, and be healthy.

How’s everyone doing? As always, we hope you’re well, healthy, and enjoying your family! Whose summer plans got re-directed amidst the pandemic?
