need suggestions - recently converted to toddler bed, travel next week?

KathrynMD

ugh - I didn't plan this very well.  We switched DD to a toddler bed last week, but we're going on vacation in 2 weeks.  We're staying in a rental beach house, but also have 2 nights at a hotel (poss. 3).  We rented a crib for the house, but now I'm not sure whether to keep that and I'm not sure what to do about the hotel nights.  My MIL has extra bed rails she offered to bring to vacation and I guess I could put them on a twin bed for DD, but eh, she's JUST gotten used to the toddler bed and she can get in and out of it easily.  I don't know that I want to put her in regular bed so high off the floor in a strange room by herself. 

and, then I'm not sure about the hotel rooms either.  I think she'll still fit (barely) in a PnP. 

She sleeps on a cot at daycare - I'm wondering if I should just buy the same one ($35) and just take that with us?  I know I could buy a fancy toddler travel bed too, but that just seems pricey when by next year she'll probably be in a regular twin bed. 

Advice??  Suggestions

We were in the same situation last month. I ended up buying a cheap-ish twin air mattress at Target, but once we got to the hotel there was a pull out sofa bed, so we used that instead. He slept great and I returned the air mattress. Would that be an option for you (air mattress or is a sofa bed available?)?

My kids sleep in this when we travel.  Super easy to set up, no air mattress to inflate and deflate.  Folds up to the size of a portable lawn chair in 10 seconds. 

Comes with a sheet and a bag.
