Toddlers in a PUP

Agree. Pop-up, or hard sided trailer, or MH, no different than at home.

If the kids sleep with Mom and Dad at home, they'll be sleeping with them in the camper too.

Keep them in their beds? Probably won't happen. The secret to our success was to run the kids so hard all day (and do not give them naps in the afternoon... NO, NO, NO!!!!!) That by 7 or 8 pm, they literally fall asleep anywhere (IF you can get them to stay still for 15 seconds!)

My grandson is now 4 years old. He and his daddy (my son), live with us. We're going through the exact same thing! The secret is .... NO MORE NAPS! Keep them awake! And then YOU can sleep at night!

Well, it is a little different than at home because he cant yet climb out of his crib, and he doesn't sleep with mom and dad.

Those rails that slip under the mattress to prevent rolling out of bed wont work because they're not tall enough and they don't run the entire width of the trailer anyway.

I might suggest that peapod. i found that online last night after I posted this.

But like other have said. keep them up and all that running around in the fresh air, will make him sleep like, a baby. I know his mom and aunt sleep good when they were his age.

Thanks!

Camped with kids in diapers on up to teens.
To keep him on his side you can try a folding baby gate between cabinet and door frame.
To keep him in the camper put a latch high on the door heading out.

We used the old fashion method. Discipline and respect. Of course that went out the window during heavy thunderstorms.

Big nylon tie raps.
The 3ft long ones I call "Mister baby sitter".

Enjoy your time with the grandson.

Garrison Keillor would concur. Two 14 foot strips of duct tape cure many of life's little problems.

I did it with a keyco peapod plus. In a popup and a bunkhouse hybrid.

When we went from a tent to a popup the kids acted the same as when at home. How do they keep the kids in bed at home?
