This is a case in point - where do you sleep a baby in a Bedford CF? (that sounds like it should have a punchline). Our Boy is too small to go in a bunk (he's 9 months), getting too big to come in with us, and the floor space isn't quite big enough for a travel cot. Has anyone out there come up with a solution?
On our recent trip to Ireland we tried a few things -
1. Bunk - didn't really work as he managed to flip onto his tum then pull himself almost over the ledge. A no-go unless you want your kiddo landing on you in the middle of the night!
2. Bed - in with us, which means the adults don't really get a proper nights sleep.
3. What we termed "the coffin" which was an airbed (which deflated, so this changed to a folded sleeping bag) placed between the driver and passenger seats. This was pretty secure although the double bed folded out over the top so baby was half underneath (hence the "coffin" term!) - we ended up opting for this most nights.
The other thing to think about was his child car seat - the van's seatbelt wasn't long enough so we ended up getting a new longer belt and fitting that so the Boy could have this lovely view from his seat as we travelled:
