Toddler travel crib?

[ncmommy]

We are taking a vacation this fall (traveling by plane) - DS will be 17 months, and probably will have exceeded the weight/height limit for his Pack N Play. I'm curous, where do your toddlers sleep during trips when they are too big for the pack n play and too little for a real bed?

Heck, I still use our pnp for Shea - he's almost three :)

I just picked up a Ready Bed for my 18-month old at Sears. It's normally priced at 29.99 but was on clearance for 7.50. It's an inflatable mattress that fits inside a sleeping bag-type sack. It comes with a hand/foot pump and took only a few minutes to inflate. When deflated, the entire thing fits inside a small travel bag.

I'm going to use it once and a while for naps so that he gets used to it. But, I'm hoping he'll sleep in it at my parents' house and on trips.

It was a regular store. I found it in the children's bedding area.

We bought a kid sized aero bed, it has slightly raised sides so they don't roll out. It is this one

I bought mine from The Right Start I think for $89.00

Hmmm...these look good, but I really had hoped for a crib-like bed where he would not be able to get out and roam about while we are sleeping (since we wont be in child-proof places while on vacation) Maybe we'll just plan to use the pack n play anyway. I just hope it's safe.

You could rent a crib - or perhaps your accomodations would provide one?
