I went to stay w/my parents at Thanksgiving and my mom had an aero-bed. My 1 1/2 yr. old slept on this better than in the portacrib. In fact she hates the porto crib! We were just going to let her sleep w/us, but I think this would be better. So, do you have to have permission, or can you just take one with you? We are staying at Marriott DD and have 2 rooms reserved(1 for my MIL and one for us) Thank you for any help. I guess I should just call them, huh?
