My family lives several states away and we see them a couple times a year (4 maybe). My mom up until this point had borrowed a PNP from a friend but now she needs to get one of her own because her friend needs it back. I am sending her some suggestions on PNPs when I started thinking about what we are going to do when #2 is here and we visit which will be probably in the spring.
What would be your recommendation for sleeping? Have her get 2 PNPs? I am thinking she could do 1 PNP and 1 RNP but then she owns a RNP which has a very limited life. By the time we visit again later next year, #2 will be out of the RNP and will need another option. Maybe by then my toddler will be ready for a big girl bed but my mom lives in a townhome and there are lots of stairs and it's certainly not toddler/baby safe. I think we'd want to keep her confined for sleeping until she is at least 3, if not longer.
Something portable is more practical because she doesn't really want to have a dedicated fullsize crib in her house for the rest of the year when we aren't visiting.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!
Re: Travel/Visiting Family with 2 young ones - sleeping ?s
I've seen the Peapod and that might work great for us.
I also think that the second poster made a good point about getting out of the PNP or crib. I'll have my mom get 1 PNP because we are definitely going to need 1 for sure and then wait and see next year. I envision my DD being a climber because of her tendencies already so we'll see!
We have a couple of toddler cots we use when we travel. You could get one of those and a PnP for your little one.
This was us with DD1 - She started crib diving at 18 months old, so we had no choice but take her out of her crib.
My mom has a spare mattress she lays on the floor for DD1 when we visit, and DD2 sleeps in a bassinet my mom got from a friend. My mom got a baby gate since the bedrooms are all upstairs.
