Portable Air Mattress with Sleeping Bag

[JettsMummy]

this is going to sound mad, but what i want for my little boy is a blow up mattress that has a sleeping bag type thing on the top so its all in one but the blanket bit zips off so its machine washable
i swear ive seen one before but cant find one anywhere.. can anyone help??! :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

i've got one for my ds, i brought it from kmart a few mths ago, its soo cool, his sleeping bag bit has a car on it, the only thing i find with it is that the material is too thick for summer, I might make another cover at some stage so he can use it in summer

[JettsMummy]

hey thanks for that.. was yours a blow up mattress or just a standard foam type?

[Lunar]

I have one too. It is a pooh bear one. It is blow up. It has only been used half a dozen times I am willing to sell it if you are interested, pm me.

thanks girls! im going on the hunt tomorrow!

[cwsmum]

I've seen those in target as well as kmart.

Good luck, hope you find one :)

mine's the blow up one, so it folds compact into a carry case thingie, the sleeping bag part fits in the bag too, you'll never guess how much it cost me, a whole $4 lol, got a bargin that day

[JettsMummy]

ive been checking out those kinderkot things.. they seem great too but i think a little complex for what im after.. its just a little bed for nannas house. thanks for all your help.. maybe they might have a "Cars" one.. jett would love that!!

[JettsMummy]

does anyone remember exactly what theirs is called so i can check on ebay and not sound like a clown tomorrow trying to explain myself to the shop assistants :D what area of the shop do you think i might find them in?

[cwsmum]

I think one that I saw was called 'ready bed' or something like that. In target they were in the same area as the sleeping bags and stuff...kmart had them near all the flat packed furniture, I think they had some of those kids flip out sofas near there too.

[Shazbutt]

Yep, they're 'ready beds'. :yes: I got both my girls Dora ones as Mackenzie has an aversion to sleeping in her bedroom (and has for the last year :rolleyes: ), so she sleeps on her ready bed in the lounge room. It been used every night for the last 6 weeks, and is holding up really well. I got mine off ebay...have you tried there? I payed $70 each for mine though, and i know in Kmart etc, they're probably a bit cheaper?

Yeah ... we have two ready beds and they have been absolute lifesavers at times!

Not only do we pull them out when we are going somewhere, but they are great if you have a child with a stomach bug as they are easy to wash and the mattresses can be hosed down at the end and easily disinfected as opposed to trying to get smell, stains and bugs out of an ordinary mattress. It also means taht you can have them sleeping near you but not have to have them in the same bed as you!

We have barbie and bob the builder and from memory, they are around $40 full price. I got mine from target.

[JettsMummy]

thanks so much for that girls. im off today to see if i can get one for jett. maybe one of you can help me with this crazy child of mine.. every time he wakes up, he hysterically screams until i come and get him.. ive let him go and after say half an hour hes just going mental.. but this is after every single sleep, morning noon and night.. he never just sits in his cot and plays. hes 13 months at the moment.. flatly refuses to walk and I am so over the screaming.. and the tanties! He has this huge seperation anxiety where say if we're in the mothers room at the shopping centre and we're with my friend who he has known from birth, and i go to the toilet and shut the door (but still talking to him) he loses it like ive left the bloody country. whats going on?! help!!

[Shazbutt]

Good luck finding one! :fingerscrossed:

I think about your son's age (my DD is only a month older) they do go through a phase of separation anxiety.

My DD is still going through it at the moment but not to the extent of Jett. She sleeps well, but for the rest of the day follows me round like a bad smell crying unless she's sitting on my lap or i'm nursing her. She climbs on the couch now too, so now i get NO peace! I even have to have my shower after she goes down at night, 'cos she tries to climb in with me, and i have a toilet dilemma, 'cos if i shut the door to 'go', she screams, and if i let her in, she climbs up at the side of the toilet while i'm going! :o

She's just started to take steps, so fingers crossed when she's walking she can follow her big sis around a bit more and leave me alone. :rolleyes: I can't really suggest anything, sorry, but it does get better eventually. :hugs:

[JettsMummy]

oh my god i hear ya jett is exactly the same. you know its bad when you cant even go to the loo on your own.. lol i try and make the most of it and say 'toilet' or 'wee wees' to get him used to what you do on the toilet. and then i tell him again when i change his nappy 'ooh jett did wee wees' i dont know if im making any headway but i cant hurt to try lol :rolleyes:

[Shazbutt]

Oh, i just realised i'd looked at your avatar and thought it said 19.9.05 not 06! I was thinking he was born on that date (05, and you made a mistake) or is it the date the pic was taken? Silly me! LOL

Anyhoo, no, i guess it can't hurt to get them used to what the toilets for....if this anxiety thing keeps up, by the time they reach toilet training age they'll be pros! :laughing:

[JettsMummy]

oh whoops he was actually born on the 19th of Sept 05 and i didnt even realise ive put the wrong year in! :laughing:

[Shazbutt]

Hehe, don't worry, i got what you meant! :D

How did you go finding a bed?

[JettsMummy]

all i could find was a spiderman one! im going to wait till chrissy in the hope that a "cars" one will come out!

[Shazbutt]

Yeah, they might actually have a few specials again before then too. :fingerscrossed: Keep an eye on ebay though, they pop up every so often!

[JettsMummy]

yep i think i will. thanks for everyones help!! :yelclap:
