to not buy a travel cot?

[MousyMouse]

have never needed one myself.
when travelling dc have either slept with me in bed or on the floor on a matress or pile of blankets.
so we don't have one and don't have the space to store one. and don't want to buy one that will be used for a couple of nights and no more...

YANBU. If it is your sister that needs one, could she not buy one?

She wants one, she buys one.

Is she coming in a car? If so, no excuse, if by public transport could you borrow one? I've always used them when little, so I do quite like them.

Can't you borrow? A friend of mine who has no DCs of her own knows that I will cheerfully haul mine down out the loft for her when any visiting friends need it.

I bought one for my DH that goes with us.

It's her who needs to get one

most friends have older children (and no space either), so don't have one.
coming by train.
I will make dn a lovely bed on the floor next to dsis airbed.

Borrow one or go on eBay & get a local one, then relist when they go. Simples.

YANBU. Why would you buy one if you know you have no use for it? I have one for when we are staying with family. I bring it because it's my child who will need it so it's up to me to supply it.

Where are you Mousy, if you don't mind saying? You could borrow mine...

You could post on the local boards and ask to borrow one? I've always found mumsnetters very keen to help out!
