where does your toddler sleep when travelling?

My ds (20 months) is too big for a travel cot and too small to sleep in a regular single bed without raised edges/rails as he will wriggle himself out of it. Mattress on the floor?

yeah sounds good

Depends what sort of traveling you are doing. We used to take a bed side with us although I think DS was still in a travel cot at 20 months.

Readybed? (inflatable with integral sleeping bag thingy).

Bozza · 08/12/2005 10:08

Readybed is a good idea because they are less likel to roll off because of being contained by the sleeping bag.

Still using a travel cot at 24 months (ds2 is about average weight but a bit taller than average 2 yr old) Ds1 was in travel cot till about 2.5 but he was quite small. After that he was fine coping in a big bed - I think we took a bed side with us a couple of times but they are quite bulky for travelling.
A ready bed is quite narrow - would be a bit worred about falling off (not that it would hurt them, just stop them sleeping well!) - think a larger mattress on the floor might work better.

What about a proper cot size travel cot? (if you know nayone who you can borrow one off?)

Ds slept in middle of king size bed and dh and I slept in single beds in the childrens room of the motel - worked well.
