[quote=Anonymous]When our kids were younger we tried to make sure we could have a nap at the hotel, apartment etc. We would on occasion go for the stroller, backpack carrier naps when we had to but they were never well rested and after a few days things would go down hill pretty quickly. Typically we select a place that is a suite, had a kitchenette, a house with an extra bedroom etc. OR if we were visiting family we would ask if we could use one of their bedrooms for naps. One parent stayed with the kids and the other hung out with family. If the trip involved a time difference I found the naps wonderful - I would take a nap as well and we'd all be better rested, happier to deal with what ever we needed to deal with.Our kids were not the kind that did well without a naps. So even if it irratated family we pushed for the naps. You know your kids best and what they are capable of and what you are willing to deal with - for me having a crying mess and a whiny child during a nice family dinner out is just not worth it for me - I'd rather forgo the dinner, ensure an afternoon nap or have an alternative plan in place.
