Question for S+TMs

[misshart00]

I'm going out of town next month with both kids. DS will still be small enough that I can take the RnP for him to sleep in and the pnp for dd to sleep in. But it made me wonder, what do you do if they're both a little older but still in cribs? Buy/take two PnPs? Have one sleep with you?

Are you staying in a hotel? Most offer a baby sleeping option. Either a pnp or a crib

[misshart00]

No. Staying with a friend. I have one pnp. I just don't want to get another for later when they both may need one.

With DD I always just let her sleep with us, now that we have two I'll let DD sleep with us an DS in a pack and play or RNP

How old is your dd?

We stayed at a hotel last summer when DS was 2, he slept in a regular bed (he was in a toddler bed at the time). We just put pillows around the edge of the bed.

She's 17 months. I figure she could probably sleep in a bed but I've got to get her to stay there.

I think I would save myself the trouble of 2 PNPs and co-sleep with the older one.

My first is 16 months. We purchased a second PNP for 1) travel,we visit out of state friends frequently and 2) everyday use.

I keep the barebones pnp in the master bedroom so I have somewhere to secure my oldest while I shower, do laundry, etc. The second pnp is in the family room and I use it for the baby as a napping and changing station on the first floor. Worth the $ imo.

We got a little air mattress that DS uses when we travel. It is actually pretty neat. It is crib mattress size and has bumpers you can blow up and put around the outside so he won't roll out.

DS just turned 2 in Jan, and last summer we put a twin mattress on the floor for him when we went to the beach on vacation. But we recently got a toddler air mattress that we really like, since he is too big for the PnP (tall enough to climb out).

That was the same thing we got that I was talking about.
