Three week visit

You could get a ready bed for the youngest

Could the 2.5 year one sleep in a travel cot? Some of them are quite big and can be collapsed during the day.

The only thing I would add is that my grandson at that age never settled on the blow up bed that I had wasted my money on! For some reason, I think he didn't feel secure.

Have a wonderful time with your grandchildren.

You can buy toddler bumper beds, they go on the floor but have low sides so he would feel secure but can get in and out easily.

However, next time they come he'll probably have grown out of that so it could be a waste of money.

Safe bunk beds could be the best idea but check with the parents first.

No picture, so I'll post a description:

Milliard Portable Toddler Bumper Bed, Foldable Baby Travel Cot/Crib, Toddler baby Floor Bed with Soft Bumpers,

Other makes ate probably available.
But check with parents.

😁

Thank you for your suggestions. I'll absolutely check with parents what they think will be best but value your thoughts. 5yr old sleeps in bunk beds but think the youngest is in a cot.
I'm concerned the bunk beds would be difficult for adult guests and given the few visits from Australia, might be a bit of a waste of money but want to do what's best for the grandkids and make it a happy time.
Thanks everyone

Are you sure there's no room for a trundle?

That would be the best option.

Absolutely no room for a trundle @allira unfortunately as that would be best.

I don't know if you can buy swags here - DGS has had various ones, progressively larger, when they go camping over there.

When my older grandchildren were little, the older one used to share my bed and the younger one slept in a travel cot.
As they got older, I set up a bedroom with twin beds for them. What wonderful memories - they are 22 and 23 years old now

You can hire children's bunk beds from BEDZ4HIRE.. They deliver and assemble on site.. and are based in Stoke on Trent..

I just googled it I don't know the company.. but it might be a solution if you have a garage for your visitor's bed to go in..

Be careful with bunk beds if they are not used to them. Especially as they are quite young.

A zed bed would be ideal. We’ve always had one for visiting grandchildren and then fold it away afterwards.

I wouldn’t put a 5 year old in a top bunk for safety reasons, so I don’t think they’d be practical. The bumper bed as suggested above seems a good idea, we used something similar, a cross between a camp bed and travelling cot from Mothercare. Maybe you could hire one, or if you buy one you might find that you could sell it on to another family.

This might be an option.

How about

Yes, we had one of those a while ago, they're useful.

good value for money too and doubling up for extra seating.

Point about mattresses on the floor is children can't fall any distance if rolling over.

A ready bed and sleeping bag seems a good choice - makes it fun too.

We used ready beds and sleeping bags for years and years. Adults slept on ours too sometimes. It was a full length one.

Personally, wouldn’t go to the expense of bunk beds for a 3 week visit.

Have any friends got a spare single bed they would loan you?

Just re-read, perhaps you haven’t room for the extra bed?
