We are going to be traveling in Ecuador for 3 weeks and DS needs a travel bed. Any recommendations? We'll be traveling to different cities. DS will be turning 4 on our trip. He's only 33 lbs and 40 inches. TIA
Are you staying at a hotel? Or in people's homes? Or??? When we travel we make up a bed for DS on the floor with extra blankets/pillows that are on hand. You could look into an air mattress but then you have to have a pump/etc. Good luck!! Have a great time!
We have a one bedroom condo in the the capital so we'll be staying there for some of the time. My mom and I will be sharing the bed. We'll also be traveling to other cities so DS definately needs a bed either way.
There isn't an extra bed at the ILs so we needed something for DS. I actually would have been fine giving him a pallet on the floor (they have carpet) but DH thought that was too mean and the floor would be too hard. :-) We've actually used it quite a bit - hotel stays, trips to the ILs, my sister (she has stained concrete floors). In the end, we probably spent $60 or but it has been worth it. We've def used it enough to warrant the cost and will continue using it with DD.
We got the toddler inflatable bed (Shrunks brand ordered thru Amazon) and we have used it many times. Usually it works out pretty well. If I were you, I'd definitely go for the bigger kid size instead of the toddler size. DD is a lot smaller than your LO and I think she is ready for the bigger size.
Re: Travel Bed
I'm planning on buying this for DD1: https://www.amazon.com/Regalo-Cot-Portable-Royal-Blue/dp/B000H1MRJO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368496133&sr=8-1&keywords=travel+cot
We have something like this.

Also, the one we have came with a pump.
