Thank you for the reply. The pod looks fun but probably not for us at this stage. @Alison, yes, I guess we need to do what you say: fold the back seat flat, and make something to create a bed for an adult. Something that can be easily put away during the day. If anybody has links or photos? We have ...

Thanks Geoff, I think someone posted a link above.

But my issue is us, adult (at least one) sleeping downstairs with the little one, and for the first year or two, at easy access.

Hi Northern Bongolow, thanks for the link! I see what it looks like now. Regarding the daily use of our Bongo, it is great for other things than camping, it's true, but we use the other car otherwise. Mostly because it's better on petrol. I like the Childs Cab Bunk Bed Hammock - does this one work o...

Hi all, I read most of the threads of the "Bongoing with Children" section and got some answers and reassurance, but I'd still like to hear about your experience going away with a small baby, even for just one night. We have had our Bongo for 4 years now, and we love it, but we are expecti...
