Hmmm we always had this issue too when traveling, DD is 2 and had never had a smooth co-sleeping experience, so we knew co-sleeping in a bed together was not a good idea. Also until recently we had a tough time even sleeping in the same room with her because I would wake up at every move or sound. So traveling was impossible except when we could do air bnb with a separate bedroom and living room area or a cheap suite hotel. When we do travel she still fits nicely into a travel crib (Phil n teds travel crib) I got used for cheap. She def doesn't fit in a pack n play anymore and hotel cribs aren't reliable since one we were given was made of metal bars that squeaked at the slightest touch. Is it an option to get a different travel crib that is longer? Our girl still fits nicely on hers and she is 36 inches tall. I suppose you could bite the bullet and give it a go in a proper bed but I personally am trying to delay that transition to a proper bed as long as possible!

She sleeps in her own bed (two queens in the room).

No experience, with a hotel, but we always rent a house as a more affordable way to get the space so that is worth considering. We've been renting houses with at least 3 bedrooms so both kids can have their own rooms. My kids aren't used to co-sleeping either so this has worked for us and they STTN on vacations, like normal.

Our LO just sleeps between us in a king. No issues.

Last time we were on vacation, she slept in between us. We haven't been able to get her to sleep on her own ever since

If the room has a couch, even if it doesn't pull out, you might be able to turn it around so that the seating part faces the wall, so it's contained on three sides.

I've also heard of parents using the bathtub, but I am not so sure I feel comfortable with it.

We cosleep, so we're all three in a king bed. It's a special treat for my son, but my husband hates it.

The only hard part was for us is trying to get the kids to sleep at their bedtime while we are wide awake - we had to turn off all the lights and TV and sit in the dark until they fell asleep - highly suggest a separate bedroom if you can!

IT wasn't that abd for us, we took the PNP for her to sleep in (when she was 2) but she didn't want too and slept in the other queen bed. Once LO is out she's out so we could turn on the TV and what not at that point.

@Freckles: yep! On one trip with just my DD I had to go hide in the bathroom so she couldn't see me

she was 23 months and in a crib usually and we got a room with 2 queens. she kept running around the room, even when we tried laying down with her. i can't even remember how long it took for her to fall asleep, but it was pretty awful. DH said he never wanted to switch her to a regular bed! ha.

We've tried different things based on what the room provides. Some room have a sofa or 2 sofa chairs so we take off the cushions, lay down sheets and make a makeshift bed for LO. If it's a sofa, I'll place a chair with the back to the seating part to prevent LO from rolling off (and later the floor with the extra cushions just in case). If there isnt a sofa then we typically cosleep. When there are 2 queens, I try to make to fun for LO with the extra pillows hotel beds usually have... My LO had a blast with the fort we made
