Having spent some time looking over blog sites, it looks like most people who have taken a baby with them in a camper haven't really found anything that allows them to let the little angel sleep on their own. Co sleeping or the use of an awning would appear to be the way to go with this.
However, our 3 year old is a different matter with many ingenious ways of keeping them in the top bed, or setting up alternative arrangements over the driver and passenger seats.
Does anyone else have suggestions for baby's and toddlers that means we can utilise the van on its own, and therefore allowing us to use the van till very late in the season?

Camper Vans and Kids
We are always looking for ways to spend time with our little boy (3) that helps get him out into the big wide world.
Thats what led us to the purchase of our static caravan (grandere than it sounds), which for the last year has been used as may weekends and weeks as we can squeeze in before the arrival (fingers crossed) of child number 2.
As keen (pre child) outdoor enthusiasts, with the likes of Climbing, Canoeing, Kayaking and Biking, it stuck us that we could further enhance the whole experience by getting ourselves a trusty Camper Van!
On the face of it, it looked (and still is) a great idea, the challenge right now is to see how we manage a small baby in the over all scheme of owning and using a VW Camper Van.
The basics should be easy enough to cover with the standard worries of Child and baby seat easy to cover so long as the rear seats have appropriate seat belts and the like. However the further concerns of sleeping in a small camper with children looks a little more difficult to skin. But then thats the idea of this Blog, yo help gather and share info about living with little ones in a Camper van (VW or not)
We don't even have a camper yet and this hinges on the sale of our BC (Before Child) toy car, an 2000 MGF in Green.
So fingers crossed I'll keep you updated with articles I find on the web and maybe you can help us out by passing on information you haver on the subject too?
Till next time
