We bought a PnP to keep down there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1433230 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 10:04:59 +0000 littlebug 1433230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just buy one to keep at your ILs. Even though you usually drive and can put it in the car, I can tell you that NOT having to put it in the car is really nice. We travel to see our family every 2-3 months, and we were taking D's PNP every time. This past time, my sister said he can just sleep in my nephew's PNP now that he's sleeping in his crib in his own room. It was SO NICE to have one less huge thing to lug in and out of the car. I'd just get one and leave it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1433217 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 09:59:50 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1433217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We keep a pnp at both my parents house and my ils, as well as at a friends house that we visit often after bedtime. We got two for free as hand me downs, and purchased one on craigslist for $20. I would say it is well worth it to have it...but I wouldn't pay full price for one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1433203 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 09:55:24 +0000 daniellemybelle 1433203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: That's what I was thinking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1432796 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 23:37:54 +0000 luckypenny 1432796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has never slept in a PNP when we go on trips so now she just sleeps with us. It's just easier for us not to even bother </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1432761 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 23:06:57 +0000 daniellemybelle 1432761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: @Mrs. Confetti: Thank you!</p> <p>So if we don't get a PnP for the ILs this trip, should we just cosleep? If the options are to cosleep or bring our own PnP this time, which should we choose? I am heavily leaning toward cosleeping... But since we plan to sleep train when we get back, I wonder if not even trying to get her to sleep independently will just make it tougher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1431619 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:19:20 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1431619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have a good trip, regardless of what you decide to do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1431616 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:16:26 +0000 daniellemybelle 1431616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: They have older grandchildren but they got rid of all their baby gear. We'll have another LO - I think you are probably right that we should just get a PnP for when we are there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1431614 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:16:03 +0000 illumina 1431614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: I wouldn't take it then. I hope you have a good trip and some luck with the sleep training when you return :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1431608 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:14:45 +0000 daniellemybelle 1431608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@illumina: I figure we will be out &amp; about a lot so she will either sleep in someone's arms or her car seat most of the time. If not, we can always lay her down on the bed. I have a feeling her naps are going to be horrible with her being out of her routine anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1431607 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:14:33 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1431607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: Also, will this me your only LO? their only grandchild? Because for the $50 to spend for the peace of mind of never having to lug it again, I would just buy one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1431572 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:05:21 +0000 illumina 1431572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I don't think I would bring it given what you said...though where are you planning to have her for naps? Will you need it then? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1431547 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 13:58:23 +0000 daniellemybelle 1431547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @avivoca: @Mamaof2: I feel like it's not really worth it if we only go every 3 months or so? And when we drive we can just take it in the car. We are flying this time because it's a short trip. But maybe we should consider it! It wouldn't be until next time because this trip is going to be so busy.</p> <p>@looch: That's impressive! I don't think any of my suitcases are nearly big enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1431083 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:47:59 +0000 Mamaof2 1431083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy one when you get there and leave it there for future trips. You never know.... she may actually sleep in it :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1430992 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:12:09 +0000 avivoca 1430992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could they keeps. PNP at their house so you don't have to bring it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1430986 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:10:56 +0000 looch 1430986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have managed to put my pack and play in my biggest suitcase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1430981 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:10:09 +0000 MamaMoose 1430981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely not want to fly with a pack n play. But I'm guessing that eventaully she will sleep in one... any chance of your in laws buying one to keep at their house? That's what my parents did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-we-even-bother-with-the-pnp-on-this-trip#post-1430975 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:08:27 +0000 daniellemybelle 1430975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Previous trips to the ILs, we brought the RnP, but now LO is in her crib. Her sleep has sucked though so by 1 or 2 AM she is in bed with me &amp; DH is on the couch. </p> <p>We are flying to see the ILs this weekend &amp; I was planning to bring the PnP but now I'm thinking it's probably pointless? I'm sure she will end up in bed with us very quickly. Since we are flying it would be nice to avoid the extra luggage. I was thinking we could still do our bedtime routine &amp; lay her down on the bed as if it were her crib, so hopefully there's that small bit of consistency. </p>
