My DD is 15 months old and has now outgrown her travel cot (tall parents, so not a shocker). We're going on holiday in the UK (for 2 weeks) and are stuck on the best travel sleep options.
We considered bringing her cotbed mattress to put in a portable playpen but as her mattress is 140x70cm, the only playpen size we can find to accommodate this is 150x180cm - no room in the holiday house we're renting has enough room to store this. The only way I'd feel comfortable having the mattress on the floor without the playpen around her is if she remained in the same room as us, but she's a light sleeper so it's not ideal to keep her in the same room, plus the room is only small. The holiday rental also doesn't supply a cot.
There is a spare room with two twin beds and we considered bed rails so she could stay on one of them without the duvet and pillow, just her usual sleepbag. However, looking into these they all state from 18 months old - has anyone used bed rails sooner than this age? She is a big wriggler at night and ends up at all ends/corners of her cot, so this just worries us a little as there wouldn't be a rail at the foot of the bed.
Any suggestion on safe sleep options for a 15 month old that's outgrown travel cot options?
