[quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to figure out the logistics of a trip I'll be taking soon with my baby who will be 11 months at the time.  I'll be flying alone with him to the midwest, where he and I will stay in a hotel for three days, and my sister will join us to help take care of him while I attend some professional meetings.  Then, he and I will travel about 200 miles to visit family for about a week (and we will either take the train, or they'll come pick us up).  Once we get to their house, they'll have everything we need—car seat, crib, stroller, etc.

Because it's a multi-leg trip, and I'll be doing much of the traveling on my own, I'd like to pack light.  So I'm trying to decide which to bring—stroller, PNP, or car seat.  I've pretty much ruled out car seat because I think we can use public transportation for the first few days and then use my family's car seat when we get there.

Soooo... PNP or stroller?  If we didn't bring the PNP, how would we sleep in the hotel for three nights?  I'm not opposed to co-sleeping in these circumstances, but I don't know how I'd keep him from rolling off the bed since you can't usually push it up against a wall in a hotel.  Are hotel rental cribs really that sketchy?  (Or are there other places you can rent cribs from?)  Is it usually possible to rent a stroller, and what type of places rent strollers?

I wear the baby a lot, and would be happy to skip a stroller for 3 days, but my 24-year-old sister is doing me a big favor by coming to watch him for a couple days, and I think she would really appreciate being able to stroll him around the city.

I know this was long.  The short version: do I absolutely have to bring a PNP for a 3-day hotel stay, or what are my alternatives?[/quote]
