Another baby bunk idea

On our holiday to North Yorkshire this summer we were joined by some good friends who've come along on our trips before (in fact, they gave us the idea to get an awning). They have a Toyota Hi Top and this year came along with another little addition - their gorgeous 10month old daughter.

As you know, we've had our own challenges with finding a good place to put a baby to sleep in a camper van, and very often it ended up with three (and now four) in the bed!  I was intrigued to find out how our friends were coping with their little one's bed and thought I'd share their great solution in case it helps out any other campervanning parents!

Like many campervan owners our friends have custom built a bed for their baby, in the form of a solid based bunk above their own "rock and roll" bed. They have constructed it by bracketing wood onto the shelves that run around the roof space and because it's spacious they are able to put the baby's own cot mattress in to make it cosy and familiar:

That looks comfy to me!

The Dad then fitted a hinged bed guard type thing kept in place by two hooks which thankfully the little one can't undo herself (yet?!):

Hello zebra!!

Safe and sound zeds for baby

It's another great idea on how to sleep those babes whilst away on a trip - has anyone else got any other good solutions?
