We have this nice IKEA kids carpet which is lovely. The edge occasionally curls up like in the picture and we can to straighten it out. When it is curled up, it is a tripping risk. Is there any way of preventing this? I can't fix it to the floor as it needs to be moved around.

Works temporarily and I end up doing it a lot.

It's in the middle of the room, so difficult to do that.

We move the carpet around. So sticking it to the floor won't work well for us.
