Currently DD will nap in her bouncy chair, or in my arms. Do you put your little ones down to nap in the family bed? Do you lay down with them? DD hates her crib so that is out of the question for us right now, but she is outgrowing her bouncy chair and while I do love holding her while she sleeps, it's not always an option for me.
Would love to hear about your nap times. Thank you.
Re: Bed sharing parents, would love to hear how you nap:)

Usually DS naps in my arms or if I can work it right, I'll wear the Ergo while I nurse him to sleep and then strap him in. On rare occasions he'll fall asleep while already in the Ergo (if I'm wearing him). DH can get him to nap in the Ergo, or in his arms, or sometimes manages to put him down in his Infant-to-Toddler rocker. That's what they use at daycare and it's the only thing rated to carry his now 28-lb weight.
And sometimes I lie down with him in bed if we're both taking a nice long nap.

She would always sleep seriously where ever! Sometimes in bed if we napped with her, or alone in our bed, on the couch, in someones arms, on top of a blanket on the floor, her carseat. Yeah just about anywhere and every where! Crib never happened.
HTH!
He naps in various places throughout the day. His "default" is the crib and he sleeps in it fine, but if he falls asleep while nursing (he mostly will only nurse side-lying in our bed) I leave him there or nap with him. If he's extra fussy or hasn't napped well earlier in the day, I will wear him for a nap or two. He hated his crib for a while, but I would just rock him to a deep sleep and put him in the crib. Even if he woke up after 15 minutes, I would try again for the next nap. I think he slowly got more comfortable with it and now he'll take 2 hour naps in there, no problem.
Same here. You must learn to master the slow roll!
She has napped perfectly fine in the middle of our King Sized bed since she was about 6-7 months old. Sometimes I nap with her but mostly I dont. She is not a "sleep mover" ( weird, I know) so I havent been worried about that.
ETA: my bed is on the floor, so her rolling off is not horrible.
