Sorry for the delay, Nisha. I just saw your comment. We found our kids were similar to what you experience with your son, when it’s around nap time they get tired and tend to fall asleep in the canoe. But, they don’t typically nap as well or as long as they would if they were in their crib at home. We keep them shaded with big sun hats and sometimes also putting a umbrella or a lightweight blanket above them depending on the weather. The biggest thing we try to do though is to get our travel done in the morning so we can be in our campsite by naptime. That doesn’t always work out, but if we’re a few days in and the kids are getting really tired that’s always a good way for us to ensure they get some extra sleep. The biggest thing we’ve found is when we’re out there we let our schedule slide a little bit and do the best we can do with the circumstances. On the plus side, when we get home they’re always so exhausted that they usually sleep in the first night back!

Awesome! Have fun!
