We are taking our 18mth old grandson camping soon and I am looking for alternatives to taking the travel cot with us. Any suggestions? I have seen the little life snuggle pod and other similar baby air beds, has anyone used these and if so what are your thoughts.? Thank you
We have used air beds that look almost like a dingy- they inflate flat like a mattress and have a separate blow up outer that stops the little ones rolling off/out.
We have had both Kampa and Sunncamp models around £15 each,
Aldi also had some recently.
Our kids have used them home and away, from around 2yrs and now at 5yrs old are still using them and sleeping well, so well they were chosen over a 'proper' bed only last week!
He slept on a roll mat with a flat cotbed sheet wrapped around it (well the end he was). On top he slept in a baby sleeping bag/grobag the same as he does at home. I did have a couple of small blankets ready but they were not needed.
We did look at mini travel cots but we would not use it enough to make it worthwhile. This he could roll off but not suffocate or fall.
Now all 3 of ours sleep on roll mats together in a 3 man pod.
