You didn't say when you're traveling, but if you have some time, you might take the tent off, and let him adjust at home. We always went with once it was thrown out of the crib, it was gone. If the kids wanted it badly enough, they didn't throw it. It does take a few times of crying, and you can't give in, but it's easier now than when they get older. You can get rid of the binki the same way, if you don't want to have to keep track of it any longer. My daughter was 15 months when we took hers away. I think it took 3 nights to get back to normal sleep, but only the first night was what I would describe as bad. I hope you have a great trip!
