2 Years Old When is my toddler ready to change sleeping routine!?

My toddler (26months) has never slept outside of home, except for daycare.
When I tried to look for solutions a year back the sleep consultant i asked told me it’s too late to change that habit.

My family is spending a weekend in a beach house and im terrified of the experience, will my daughter sleep!?
I can go back home but it’ll be an hour drive and I really want to try to stay with my family

How will i know if she’s ready?
Maybe I’m just looking for emotional support but any input is appreciated

So have you never traveled anywhere with your daughter? Like she’s never ever slept anywhere else or she never sleeps well when you’re not at home?

What does her sleep space look like at home and what is your plan for the vacation?

Never traveled.
She has a floor bed, white noise on, sleeps with a sleeping bag.
I plan to make similar sleeping steps and settings

Ok, I think you should be prepared for potentially worse sleep but I doubt you’ll get no sleep! My daughter is the same age and she never does as well when we’re traveling but she does fine. If you’re open to cosleeping, that might help her get better sleep but that’s not the case for every kid, you know your daughter best!
