Looking for ideas/suggestions for a "bed" for DS to sleep in on vacation.

We are taking 2 trips w/ DS, one is Sept (he'll be 4 mos) to visit my mom in IL and one in Oct (he'll be 5 mos) to visit my dad is S Carolina. I don't want them to go out and buy a crib so I am trying to decide on what to buy to take with us for DS to sleep in. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have seen the Eddie Bauer Infant Travel bed at Target, but not sure if it's enough cushion.

I will need something for naps and nighttime sleep. We'll be at my mom's for 5 nights and Dad's for 3 nights.

TIA!!!!

Want to get something soon so I can get DS used to it.

We're going to FL at the end of next week. We're taking the train so we are using the travel bed for the train and then using the PNP at the condo.

1- We don't have a pack n play

2-we're flying.


I guess I could buy a cheap-ish one and have it sent there. But that means I would buy 2. I dunno. Wanted something DS could get used to before we go.

You can bring a pack n play with you. Just check it in with your luggage. That's what I do.

You can also just rent a pack and play when you get to your location.

Do a google search for local places that rent baby equipment.

A pack and play with a mattress is what my boys sell on every time we go away.

I would try either that travel bed or a PNP. You can check the PNP at the airport
