Toddler travel bed dilemma

2 replies

elfisheyes · Yesterday 21:08

DS1 is 2y4m and still in a cot at home, I know that if the sides were down he likely would be running to the door/around his room and not going to sleep, so hoping we can keep them up a while longer!
Issue is we’ve got a few trips planned over the summer and I think the travel cot (Bjorn one, last used about 7m ago) is now something he could jump/climb out of… so what do we do? He’s never slept in an open bed/mattress on the floor.
Any ideas? Are there any good older toddler cot/beds?
Thanks! X

I’d do the transition ASAP at home. We went to a single bed at 12 months. Makes it much easier to go away as we just take an airbed or use a mattress on the floor.

Are you going to a hotel or holiday cottage? Do they provide the travel cot? If so, it will be huge and not something most 2 year olds would climb out of. Otherwise, lots of inflatable toddler beds available that pack up easily. If you are sharing a room, this is no problem. If you have a portable travel gate, you might be able to put that on the room door.
