Not exactly...

More like this but, maybe, lighter (although 2.5kg including self inflating mattress isn't bad, albeit pricey)...

Nice Mike... outside the box...

I'll have a look around but something tells me that the other half wouldn't think to highly of me suggesting we put the baby in a kennel when we go travelling?!

We use one of these for my daughter who is now 9 months and used it previously for my son up until he was just over a year, sat it on top of either a blanket or the end of my Therm-a-Rest if we were in a tent. Depending on temperature the kids either wear their usual 'grow-bags' or, if its a bit cooler, we use a Vango baby size sleeping bag.

 Due to the dimensions it would be too small for use beyond a year or 18 months depending on a child's size, but its not too heavy, folds to the size of a thick dinner plate and keeps the insects out. Its certainly small enough and light enough to carry.

 Hope this is of use: http://www.littlelife.co.uk/cots-beds/1/index.htm

Thanks Flashing Blade,

I looked at some items of this 'pop up design' and wondered if she would soon outgrow them... However, she is quite little and it is evidently a light weight option. How decent is the mattress that comes included? For outdoor use I'd supplement it with a closed cell foam probably, but for indoors travel would you say that it is sufficiently padded for a couple of weeks of use?

Littlelife also do a version much like the Nomad one I linked in the picture above. How do you rate their quality?

Thanks a lot for your help,

John
