More Special Need Travel bed Hacks

Further tent ideas for travel bed Hacks

Many of you would have seen my travel bed Hack for a travel bed for less than $80.  If not check out the link here:
Travel Bed Hack for less than $80


Given how much room (queens sized mattress) my travel bed takes up, I'm always on the look out for other options.  I've seen a few more tents that may be suitable and therefore have perked my interest.  Note I haven't actually tried these but don't let that stop you if you think it would be good for your child.   Here they are and what I like (and don't like) about them.  I would like to also point out I am not affiliated with any other these companies.

Here is an OZtrail Blitz 2 Mesh pop up tent  - I've seen them at tentworld but am sure you can get them elsewhere



LIKE- easy to pop-up, no poles to have to put together.  Would need a blow up double mattress or to be able to slide a single mattress in.  Other ideas is to sew on something to tie it to the underside of a mattress and have it on top of a bed.  Ranges in cost from $60 (on special) to $100.  Lightweight - only wieghts 1.5 kgs

DON'T LIKE - you get in at the end, not the side which makes access difficult.  Wouldn't be suitable for really rough kids

This  tent, I have no idea how I came across it but I did and felt compelled to share - costs more (around $200) - https://www.4wdsupacentre.com.au/adventure-kings-double-swag.html

LIKE- you get in at the side, comes with it's own mattress and it's not a blow up - double sized.  Looks sturdy (note I have not proven this). Has strong transport bag.

DON'T LIKE - Has poles,so would take longer to put together, heavy  (14.8kgs) and large to transport.  Not complete mesh


OZtrail Mozzie Dome 2 Tent - I've seen them at tentworld but am sure you can get them elsewhere



LIKE- you get in at the side, smaller than the one I use - you would need to add a blow-up mattress.  Has great internal height.  Reasonably priced - less than $100 on special, lightweight 1.9kgs

DON'T LIKE - Has poles,so would take longer to put together.  

Good luck and if you try any of these please comment on how you find them as it might help others.
