Toddler Travel Sleeping Options

[nicolewi]

My 2 year old (2.5 in July) is very petite and I though we could eke out one more summer in the pack-n-play at our cottage but she wants nothing to do with it. She still sleeps in her crib at home. I need a portable bed of some sort for her to use at our cottage and at my parents' house. In the past, we had a toddler aerobed and that's still a good option, but it's $80. Just wondering if anyone has any other good ideas.

My friend bought ds this really cute travel cot which folds up compactly and fits into a bag with the sheet. I can check the specific brand later but wanted to say ds loved it because it was like a mini bed and we put it next to the hotel bed without an issue.

If you're driving can you Just bring her crib mattress?

When we drive I take a small memory foam mattress (that can be rolled up). In hotels and at my inlaws I usually push a bed against a wall (or use chairs and pillows against one side). I then sleep next my almost 2 year old so he doesn't fall out of the bed.

My son LOVES this bed.  He's a big five year old, still fits in it, and will probably want to use it for a couple more years.

ETA - It says ages 3-8, but he started using it when he was two.

muppetinma, that looks like it has real potential! Kind of what I'm looking for, but much cheaper than the Aerobed one. Thanks!

We use the regalo cots for our girls. I love it and they sleep well on them.

In fact we took them to a concert a few weeks ago and the girls sat on that better than their chair.
Poof!

When I babysat, I had a 3yo who slept on that cot every day and loved it. It was her special bed.

I got the cot! Looks like it could be useful in a lot of different situations. It's getting delivered to my parents' house tomorrow.

That's awesome! I realized I needed a second one and had just enough time to prime it to my dads house
