toddler bed for travelling

[sliceofcake]

We are going away for a week and need to take a bed for DS (3 years). I've seen this bed in a bag which looks good but pricey, and this ready bed which also seems ok.
Any other ideas? What do you use?

the family i work for have ready beds they stay inflated really well our been up 2 weeks the covers are fit one side open the other and covers come off really easily to wash and so comfortable ( i fell asleep on it last night when i babysat

thanks tiggergirl, may try one of them - wasn't sure how steady they were so good to know they are ok!

We had a readybed for dd1. It wasn't a 'first' readybed, so it didn't have the inflatable sides, which may have affected things - but when she rolled over in the night it flipped over and trapped her underneath! She was not happy.

We have this for dd, who's 3. It's very good, she sleeps really well on it, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the GLTC one. The "my first" ones aren't as sturdy, and are small - this one will last you much longer.

PS we now just use a snuggle sac on a mattress for her. If no mattress, we take a camping mattress, one of those thin inflating ones.

good idea with the snugglesac and mattress Aranea- can also imagine DS not pleased to be underneath his readybed!
Habbibu, can't see what you are linking too, but dying to know now!

The ready beds are comfy for the child, DD1 has slept in one at IL's for about a year, since she was just turned 3. HOWEVER, they fart. Seriously, if your DC is a fidget every time they roll over the bed will fart at you.
Faintly amusing for the first few nights but after 4 days you will want to kill it.

We have replaced it with her old cot mattress, her pillow and a fleecey sleeping bag from Primark for £3.

Oh, sorry! here - but it's just a ready bed...

thanks Habbibu, I searched on the Argo website when I couldn't see your link, and found the same one - loads of good reviews, so think that is what I'll go for. No mention of farting noises so think will be ok, but thanks for the warning EoJ!!
