Hi Indyred - think I'd be inclined to take the travel cot if you can fit it in as it would be much cosier for them.

We've just started camping with our 2 year old and it's her first time out of her cot in a sleeping bag and she keeps falling off the mattress. I've been thinking of investing in a tent style travel cot that packs up small like this

was looking at that ones they seam good?

 our little girl has been ok in sleeping bag this year , she just snuggled down and slept like a log . we were worried at 1st and kept checking that she hadnt slipped down too far !

We take our travel cot and it also doubles as somewhere safe for her to play when you are just that bit occupied.

She rolls off air beds to much for my liking.

Defo agree - we started our daughter at 8 months - used travel cot until she could no longer fit in - save yourself some money - if you havnt got one lend one. And agree that whilst cooking etc you know they are safe.

if your tent or bedroom pod hasnt got a sig i wouldnt dream of not using the travel cot

i would be awake all night incase they crawled out under tent

our 18 month old wouldnt sleep in ours at all he ended up sleeping in his buggy luckily it lays totaly flat but they are great for them to play in especially when your setting up or taking down tent

Another fan of travel cots, I've mentioned on another posting about a friend who's 9 month old was taken out of the cot in the morning and put in bed with them - they promptly fell asleep and awoke to find him having a great time with all the camping gear and painting the rest of the tent with the contents of his older brothers potty. If you don't use one and have an inner bedroom make sure you zip the zips to the top so they can't make their own way out (and doors) - its amazing what they can do when they put their mind to it!

Hi Sparkys

 We fold the bottom of the sleeping bag upto to just below her feet then fasten ya belt around the middle of the fold...She wont go nowhere.. 

  Happy camping
