TRAVEL COTS AND BONGO CAMPER CONVERSIONS

[ROXY]

I am looking to get a travel cot for our 9 month son. We have a Bongo with full side conversion and rock and roll bed. The intention is for one parent to sleep on the bed with the travel cot beside them. The other parent will be in the roof or awning tent.
However I am not sure if a travel cot will fit on the rock and roll bed and give enough room for an adult to sleep there as well.
Anybody any experience in this area, suggestion etc?

Do you mean a travel cot or a Moses basket ? I can't imagine a full size travel cot fitting especially with a side conversion. Others have used a Childs bed over the front seats (basically 2 poles with canvas between them) but I guess it all comes down to the age of your child. My 2 have slept in the roof since they were about 5 with bed boards but guessing yours is much younger.

Hope you find a solution

I guess your right. I cannot see how a normal travel cot will fit on a rock and roll bed with an adult. Our son is eight months old and a bit big for his Moses basket.
Any further suggestions?

We had our little girl sleeping up in the roof when she was just over 1 year old. She slept over the cab sideways on and we used a fold up bed side thingy wifh legs that went under the matress to keep it in place. She was always a good sleeper so as long as she was wam enough it was never a problem.

Using this system also meant we could keep the trapdoor open so we would hear her as soon as she woke up.

By the time she was 2 she had established the upper deck as her domain and really looked forward to sleeping there.

We have a 9 moth old and she sleeps with her mum on an air-bed on top of the unconverted seats. The 4 year old sleeps in a cab bed across the front seats and me in the roof. Seems to work well and we don't need a cot or anything for the little one.

I can also watch a DVD in the roof when everyone has gone to bed early!

Seems OK but not sure if it would stop a baby rolling out
