Family Camping Tips for toddler and baby


Recommended Posts

Hi


Looking for tips for camping weekend we have coming up with 1 year old and 2.5 year old.


We went Decathlon on weekend to get most bits, but couldn't find suitable sleeping bag for baby.

Any tips?


Keen to hear of any other advice/tips to make this trip a good idea


thanks

We first went when our son was three. The first few times he wriggled off his air bed and ended up on the ground several times during the night. Now I tuck a huge fleece blanket from Amazon across the top of all the air beds like a sheet so there are no gaps between them to slide off into. It's much much better and the blanket also makes a nicer surface than the air beds themselves. We also now put him on the middle air bed so he can't roll off and end up half under an air bed at the side of the tent. He's very wriggly!

I second get out with the kids loads of great stuff in that site. I wrote about taking babies to festivals a couple of years ago here:http://www.festivalkidz.com/advice/taking-babies-to-festivals/

Well be going with an 11 month 5yr 8 ur combo this yr


I recommend the tent type travel cot for baby gives you somewhere to contain them too if mobile. Going to switch from airbeds to self inflating mats for the other two this year as the 5 year old always rolls off the air bed we had an inflatable toddler bed when she was younger with a built in cover but she just managed to flip the whole thing as she rolled out


Also second warm baby grow and winter weight baby sleeping bag with shoulders also take a stretchy cardigan you can add as another layer over the sleeping bag.

Have fun!

    • Nauris and his team have done fantastic work in our garden for the second year. Last year, they sanded, oiled the deck and did an immaculate job of paving the area around the deck. Then two weeks ago, I asked Nauris if he could build a garden shed, sand and oil the deck and paint and repair the fences. Again, another excellent job and he was great at fitting in a couple of small fixes. We are really pleased with the shed which is well made and painted and blends in well to the garden. Nauris is really respectful and always left everything tidy in the evening and spotlessly clean at the end of the job. Nauris also provided a clear quote for the work at the beginning.  I recommend Nauris Graudins (and his team) very highly - [email protected]  
    • So who actually checks that the above is followed - are there going to be "surprise" inspections ?
    • We have used Aria and AFE Plumbing for many years on a number of jobs - installing new taps and showerhead, unblocking pipes.  He is always quick to respond and able to swiftly attend to the issue, easy to communicate with, and makes sure the job gets done. Definitely recommended. 
    • Well you've said i'm taking a pro cash stance too far. Perhaps not twisting- i used the wrong words but you are putting words in my mouth no? I'm not one for tech, that's for sure but how do you come to the conclusion i'm pro cash? I merely pointed out that cashless and using cards / card readers/ oyster readers/ and other terminals etc aren't risk free. If i was pro cash i wouldn't be using a card on occasions. Indeed. You can say that again. Irony and self awareness not your strong point is it? Indeed. Just as well you're not the judgemental type hey!!   What a strange and arrogant entity you are.
