If we are going somewhere I will sometimes wake her up or wait 15-20 min. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306560 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 20:47:35 +0000 lemondrop 1306560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends:<br /> 1. Season- if it's summer and hot out, so I have enough gas?<br /> 2. Am I starving? Is there a nearby drive thru?<br /> 2. Location- if the weather is nice and I'm home, I'll let him go indefinitely if I can clean the garage </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306522 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 20:31:09 +0000 delight 1306522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know people sat in the car and waited for naps to finish! LO is only 4m so I guess this doesn't apply. She sleeps as long as we are moving in the car and can usually transfer into the house fine. If I get her into the house without waking her up she'll usually stay asleep 1-2 hours. Car seat naps are usually longer than crib naps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306485 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 20:11:52 +0000 MrsStar 1306485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She wakes up as soon as the car stops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306473 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 20:05:33 +0000 mediagirl 1306473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends. Are we home? If so, she gets transfered. Out? No further napping once we're there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306456 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 19:53:24 +0000 dolphin 1306456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit and wait. If I'm with DH, we'll drive around and run errands...he sits and wait while I run in and out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306443 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 19:49:02 +0000 Andrea 1306443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit and wait for the baby, but my 3.5 yr old is too old for naps so I wake her up ASAP or else it will be a 9 pm bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306263 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:58:33 +0000 winniebee 1306263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually sit and wait. He does not transfer and even if he sleeps 10 mins he is done for the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306254 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:49:32 +0000 BananaPancakes 1306254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit and wait, too. He rarely sleeps longer than 30 minutes in the car, especially if we're not moving. He's a 2.5 hr napper, but won't come even close to that in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306181 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:00:47 +0000 Mamasig 1306181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit and wait in the car. Sometimes I take a little nap too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306056 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 15:32:11 +0000 leelee 1306056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit with DD until she wakes up too. Id rather she be semi well rested if possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306040 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 15:27:15 +0000 Dandelion 1306040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always got him out when we got to where we were going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-you-let-your-toddler-car-nap#post-1306036 Sun, 29 Dec 2013 15:25:35 +0000 chopsuey 1306036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sit with my kids until they wake up..<br /> DD's been zzz for 32 mins! </p>
