With cottage, camping, and road trip season here, I’m always asked how to protect your child’s sleep while travelling and in different sleep environments. These products are some of my must-have items for this summer’s family trip. Your child can still have the healthy sleep they need no matter where they are.

This hypoallergenic, non-toxic, portable multi-use mat is perfect for travel, camping, daycare, outdoors, and Grandma's house. What I love about this super comfy cushion is it folds up and zips shut.
