traveling beds for toddlers

Do you want to find something really special for your baby’s nursery? Unique baby cribs are an easy way to add flair and create a creative, fun space for your baby. There are a ton of styles and designs to choose from that will match whatever look you’re going for, but there’s more than just the look to consider. Read on to discover the options available to you when you’re choosing your baby’s dream bed.
Convertible Cribs
A convertible baby crib gives your baby room to grow, and saves you time and money later. They easily convert from a baby crib to a toddler bed, so you don’t have to go out and hunt for another bed later on or find a place to store your crib when baby no longer needs it. Because they convert, you can follow your baby’s natural development from crib to bed, even switching back and forth if needed. Some convertible cribs can also be extended into a full-sized child’s bed with additional hardware.
Portable Cribs
If you like to travel, portable baby cribs let you bring baby’s comfy, familiar home environment with you. They fold up easily and usually come with a carrying case, so they are easy to pack up and go with. You can set them up anywhere, from hotel rooms to the cottage to even just the in-laws house. Wherever you go, portable cribs let you keep baby happy and sleeping soundly, while giving you the freedom to go where you want to go and not worry about where (and if) baby will sleep. Just make sure that you check the screws each time you set it up, to ensure that everything is solid and secure.
Canopy Cribs
Canopy cribs bring an elegant, dream-like atmosphere to baby’s room. Just like a canopy bed, they have four corner posts that support a canopy frame and fabric, and offer a secure, partially enclosed nap-time space. You can choose from tons of different fabric designs for the canopy to compliment baby’s decor and bedding.
Round Cribs
Round cribs have become more and more popular, both for their modern look and for the amount of space they save. They tuck away easily in a corner, so if space is at a premium a round crib is your best option. Some also feature canopies, or special inserts that coordinate with baby’s nursery decor. Round cribs also offer easier access to baby, better visibility, and of course no corners that baby could accidentally bump her little head on. They come in a wide variety of finishes, so it’s easy to find the look that fits your taste.
No matter what type of unique baby crib you decide is right for you and baby, make sure it meets all the safety standards. You can find crib safety tips from the National Safety Council. The majority of modern cribs are designed and manufactured to meet or exceed all of the safety standards, but it’s worth checking for your peace of mind.

toddler not sleeping after traveling?
I have a 13 month old daughter that was actually getting the sleep thing down at night, until we started traveling. We had an 8 hour drive to go see family at a family reunion for a week. I realize with that many people, she may now be experiencing the “loss” of all those people (now it’s only mommy and daddy, and she does not go to a daycare). Anyway, she slept like a queen in the pack-n-play while we were at the reunion, but once we returned home, it was over! She wakes every hour to hour and a half now, whining and crying and wanting to be rocked. We’ve brought her into our bed thinking this would give us some much needed sleep but she just tosses and turns, whines, and still does not sleep. We also know that she has a molar coming in and so we have given her Motrin and teething tablets, but nothing seems to help her sleep. Any suggestions? We are literally exhausted!
I don’t think you can blame this on travelling. I think you answered your own question..she is teething and hurting. The motrin isn’t touching the pain and she can’t sleep because of it. Exhausted?…LOL…welcome to motherhood..wait till you have more. Put your finger in her mouth, and gently rub over the cutting tooth…gently..it will help cut the skin a bit (you won’t see it) and give your daughter a little time without the pain..let her chew on something frozen..I gave mine frozen french fries (supervise this), or you can freeze some of those teething rings, or you can give her a popsicle, or a freeze (both supervised too). She will be fine in a couple of days.
