Time sharing with babies

[lkbux Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close lkbux]

I will be traveling with twins under the age of 2 and will need to get 2 cribs for them at the FF Williamsburg Kingsgate for Easter week. Do timeshares generally provide cribs? If not, does anyone know about a service that would allow you to rent cribs at a timeshare?

Call the resort and ask them. Many do provide them though they have a limited number. We used to use our portable soft one while traveling, it was great.

DVC expects people to bring babies

As I recall, many or all of the DVC units have travel cribs stored in the closet. However, I have never seen any at a Fairfield.

When we traveled with a child under two, we brought a travel crib.

We always bring a travel crib but if you are flying I am sure that could be a pain. Call the resort you are going and see what they have to say.

Good Luck!

be sure to aks what size the crib is. When my son was 18 mths old, but the size of a large 2 yr old (!) we were given a crib so small he couldn't stretch his legs straight - despite me saying he was 2 yrs old when booking the crib.
He slept for the week on a mattress (pulled off the spare bed) on the floor, and was just fine.

Also worth checking what sort of locks the doors have and at what height - if they are low down and can be opened from the inside you may want to take a colapsible stair-gate to stop "escapes". A security chain is no use - self-closing doors will open far enough to trap little fingers!

We do this all the time

Call the resort...make sure that you specifically ask them if they have FULL SIZE cribs, not portables. If the resort only has porta-cribs, they can refer you to an outside company in the area that rents them. We've gotten high chairs and bouncy seats this way too.

I always bring my own crib sheets.

If your little one is small enough for a porta-crib, then obviously that will do. Outside companies can usually rent them as well, although when mine was little we just checked the pack n play as luggage and never had a problem.

Thanks for all the advice. We do have 2 pack 'n plays that we can put the babies in, but with 3 kids, two parents, and a nanny, I'm afraid I won't be able to fit everything in my car.

We got one of these. It was a sobering moment when DH and I realized we had too many kids and too much stuff to fit into a station wagon.

There were a few trips we took where we rented a minivan since we couldn't get all of our "gear" into our sedan.
