camping with an infant

[homemaker]

Looking for ideas for something that our baby (almost 8 mths) can sleep in while camping. We were going to try our pack-n-play, but it is too large. Our trailer doesn't have a slide so it is just not wide enough. Any ideas would be great.

We found a small folding crib at Walmart that we used. I believe it was a Graco, and it worked for us in our old TT because is was narrower than the usual pack n play. I looked on the Walmart website just now and only saw one for $78 that is fancier than ours...we paid only about $36 IIRC. But check out the dimensions on that and see if that might fit.

An alternate might be to use the dinette, if yours folds down like our does. Many dinettes when folded are somewhat enclosed on three sides by the seat backs and the wall. You could then use a bed rail like these (http://www.thenewparentsguide.com/baby-bed-rails-1.htm)

If those solutions don't work....well, it's a good time to buy a new RV! :banana:

We set out table up outside and put the pack & play in it's place. It fit perfect.

Friends of ours did this and it worked great. :thumbsup2

You could always get one of these:

Then you can store your comics in it when you're done.

ya know,....that cardboard crib LOOKS dangerous....but a friend of mine ordered cardboard furniture(2 chairs and a desk w/chair) for his kids' bedroom after Katrina as a quick fix till the insurance paid up....and they STILL have those chairs..and they are solid as a rock!!!! Im a fat sumbish and they support me just fine 4 years after the purchase!!!

we have a TT and have also broke down our dinette to make it into the bed, and then just set up the pack n play on top of it (with out the cushions so it was a solid surface). Friends of our who also have a TT with a bunk house in the back just put up a wooden baby gate across the opening until they found a bed rail that would fit

You guys are great!! I know this would be the place to get some really good ideas. Thanks a bunch !!!
