Nap Mats / Sleeping Bags

My "baby" is transitioning to the 1 year old room at daycare...we were told in their booklet that we needed to get a sleeping bag.  I have no idea what to get, I looked on line and saw nap mats.  HELP--- plus I can't imagine she'll sleep on the floor.  So if you have experience with what to get that would be comfortable and reasonably priced...let me know.  Then I have other issues to tackle with them, including items that they provide as meals and snacks..I can feel what my sister describes as "the food nazi" coming out...but that is another battle for another day.  Thanks for the help.

Hey there. Our "nap mats" are those sleeping bag type roll up things that have the blanket and pillow attached. Just roll it up and velcro and it will easily fit in their cubby. My son's is "Cars" and I got it for him at ToysRus. I think I paid like $14.99 for it. He also sleeps on a KinderMat. They are just cushiony mats that folds up into a rectangle. I got his at Walmart for $9.99. They are usually red/blue "kindergarten mats."

I hope that helps some!

When my oldest was in daycare, they slept on sleeping bags on the floor, and had pillows.  Not really feasible for a 1-year old, right?!  Thankfully, my MIL invested in these cool sleeping cots and my son did really well on it.  Here's a few pics and links for more info/ideas:

JC Penney is offering a similar nap bag/pillow combo and includes a large tote with theirs.

Thanks everyone..I will have to ask if they are at least supplying the mat, and that is why they are just asking for the "bag" part.  I still can't imagine she'll sleep for them on the floor even on a mat.  I guess she'll learn or they'll learn what she likes.
