Nap time downstairs

Does anyone know of anything a 10 month old could sleep on or in when he has naps downstairs in the day. Hes quite long so Id think a nest wouldnt last. He always wakes up when we put him straight on the sofa. We co sleep, so dont think a travel cot would work either cos he wakes up being put down in his normal cot.

Pushchair? I go for a quick walk to get mine to sleep then park him in the hallway while I get a few jobs done.

The floor is your best bet.

You could get a yoga mat or similar, or just a regular baby playgym mat. Cuddle lying down as you normally would when cosleeping, then roll away when baby is asleep.

We made a cosy corner for sleep downstairs as we also co slept for awhile. He knew to go to it when he was ready for a nap.
Pillows, cushions, blankets etc
